since put in nominations; and they had
about concluded that prudence made the
nomination of decent ticket advisable.
But two hours before the district con-
vention met the henchmen were summoned
to headquarters and directed to put the
machine men in the field, and trust to luck
and the manipulation of returns for their
success.
James F. Crandall, who is running for
Freebooter on the Democratic and Citizens
ticket in the fifth district carried it some
years ago. as candidate for the Board of
Works. whensthe district was more strong
ly Republican than it is now. AS mem
Der of the Board of Works he will be re-
membered as having brought conscience
and intelligence to the discharge of his
public duties. He is not politician; nor
is he an office-seeker; but New York
mercqant who has been persuaded against
his will, to stand in this contest. He is
the right kind of man for either party
to ruA inthat district.
eff Tom Mills gets the Republican
nomination. even the Republican wire
pullers of the fifth district have said to the
TATTLER, ss'Hank' Windecker will beat
him for Fire Commissioner. Mills has
got the nomination, and Windecker can
not possibly fail. His return to the Fire
Board is not a matter of opinion.
Little "Tommy" Leather is working for
the public good at last. His independent
candidacy in the third district means the
defeat of Dan Shea for, the Fire Board.
Even his friends admit that Van Ripper
has no chance of winning reelection to
the Police Board in the third district.
Dominick Rehberger will be the successful
candidate there.
4o1 f1r T,1c
of the Peace in the first district, has sacri-
feed himself for the public good He has
withdrawn that German candidate may
be nominated in his stead.
Freebooter Shrope of the fifth district
made up his mind that there was going to
be political earthquake this Spring, and
he wisely concluded to stand from under.
Ex-Mayor William Clarke is a gentleman
of such high character that there ought to
be, and in fact is, no doubt of his election
to the Board of Freeholders from the First
district
We have two reasons for favoring ssBob"
Davis for Alderman in the First district.
In the firsS place he has never been in the
Board of Education. And secondly he is
the Democratic nominee
Denny Reardon is the strongest man in
the Second district. He is a man of brains
and energy too. The TATTLER is glad to
know that his election to the Board of
Aldermsn is an assured fact.
Tho Democratic candidates in the sever
al districts will add UNNECESSARILY to their
strength and popularity by having the
words ''Board of Education Act accepted
printed on their regular tickets. 1t would
show that they care for public decency,
and are submissive to the will of the peo
l. A. Ill L. IoE1 h. 10, 40
of the act will, on the other hand, lay them
open to suspicion. 1t will show them as
the apologists for all that is low and repre-
hensible in local government; as defiant of
the desires Of their constituents, and unfit
to serve as representatives in any local
board.
