I'll WARM AT HAMLINE.

PrOhibitiOnists and Republicans
are Having Il Lively Aldermanic
Squabble.
The interest in the Tenth wards poll
ties is growing more and more interest
ing. As a result of an after meeting
on last Wednesday evening, the Repu0-
lican league of Hamline, to the num-
berof about fifteen, with sworn
allegiance to the Republican party
and Republican principles, Wis
tied st. Anthony park last even
ing and held a conference with the Re-
publican club of that place. The
object of the meeting was to
unite the two clubs firmer in the
coming contest, but in this they failed,
as the joint assembly could not agree
upon any definite action except to hold
a conference with the Prohibition
party in order to try and
unite upon some common action.
The,uamline party from the first urged a
firm union. They said they would rec
ogniZe no citizen movement and in the
coming contest they would fight as Re-
publicans, and as Republicans would
fall or conquer. They further said
they did not wish to confer
with any third party, and
If there was any consolidation of par
ties it must be sought by the weaker
one. 1t was plainly seen from the first
that the st. Anthony men were not so
strongly in favor of union. unless they
were sure of electing their man, which
Is considered not very certain with
Che strong prohibition vote and the
Democratic vote to contend with. They
also saw that in this union they would
probably lose their Park man, as the
Mainline end of the party is much the
stronger. To elect their man is the end
desired, and the means are not
of so much consequence. This
opinion was plainly uttered.
i'll the speech of Mr.. ChildS, of the Park,
who said: ''lf we are sure we can elect
a man i'll the Republican party let us go
ahead and do it, but, if we can't do it let
zen on citizen ticket. We can go into
the peoples movement and not
LOSE Our STRENGTH
as Republican party. The Hamline
men are, however, strictly for party
lines, but l think we had better bend
than break
In reply, Mr.. Sumbardo said: "The
feeling at Ham!ine is that since the
ward is Republican,, the nomination for
alderman should be through the
Republican party. The citizens move
ment is by irresponsible persons. and
led by Democratic politician of rather
tender years. This is our reason for
differing with you. If we do not unite
we are lost" And this opinion was
voiced by other Hamline men. After a
great deal of discussion, pro and
con, 1t was decided that the best
the Prohibition party, which
meets on Monday night at Hamline and
see whether or not the parties can agree
on any action, and motion was carried
that committee Of conference be ap-
pointed composed of three MEM
berS from each division, who
should confer with the Prohibition
party and obtain its views as to whether
or not they will unite. This committee
IS to report at a joint meeting of
the two parties. The committee
appointed was Messrs. G. A. Dunn,
Mr. Dana, ST., and E. Ii. Bancroft,
or st. Anthony Park; and Messrs. S.
SumbardO, ID. III. Tandy and E. O. Bar
rett, of Hamline. The st. Anthony
club was asked for an expression of
'ASho tto W hllCLIlCl lllCf hOulu
gamate, but would give no reply, as they
wished to consider the question further
They decided that another meeting of
the citizens of st. Anthony Park was
necessary before a final answer should
be made. r. Y. Pratt, the favorIte of
the peoples caucus, was called for and
only reStated the opinions of the Park
men. The meeting concluded with an
oyster supper in which there was per-
feet harmony.
The Prohibition party will meet Mon
day night, and, it is thought, will nemi-
nate an independent man. The one
most spoken of is I. B. Wallace, who,
1t is said, will command at least 100
votes in Hamline. The strength of the
vote in the last election is was follows:
Republicans, 172; Democrats, 116, and
ProhibitiOniStS, 90. The eyes of the
ward are turned to next Wednesdays
adjourned citizens meeting, and an in
teresting time is expected if no union
In the M eantime is formed. Then the
other pa rty will be heard from.
