The Cleveland club proposes making
n red-hot campaign in the interest of
just and equitable government this fall.
In accordance with the decision to in
paign. as outlined a couple of weeks
ago. a committee. of which G. A. Quist
is chairman, has been perfecting ar
rangementS, and has notified ali the
Democratic candidates as follows:
The Cleveland club, having decided to
carry on float campaign, have appointed
committee to arrange for same. We have
decided to fix up four or six floats" hand
somely decorated, TO be driven from place to
place. from whence good speakers will ad-
dress the people upon the issues OF the day
The committee is preparing literature which
will be distributed in the floats" every
night We believe such campaign will
reach that class of voters least interested i'll
politics. and who caunot be prevailed upon
to attend mass meetings in halls, and that
such methods are much cheaper and more
astractive than any other yet suggested.

The Democratic city committee and
the city ticket nominees will meet in
the jefferson club rooms next Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock and prepare for
an active campaign. The proposed con-
solidation of the city and county COM
mittees has not yet been acted npon.
nor has anything definite been done in
that direction. An evening paper last
night devoted third of a column of its
more or less valuable first page space to
declaring that the city committee OBJ
jected to being ''revOlutioniZed," and
that Bernard Cloutier had used some
harsh words to c. NJ. Foote Oh this sub
ject. As was to be expected, the story
was entirely without foundation. Mr..
ClOhtier pronOunces as unQualifiedly
false the emanations from the Journals
interviewing autOmaton.
John Goodnow, chairman of the late
Republican city convention, will not
announce the committee before Mon
day. The remaining eight members of
the nominating committee of twenty
one will not be appointed until few
days later. Mr.. GoOdnoW wants to
further consult with the Republican
candidates before making known the
personnel of the committee.
AT meeting of the Union Veterans
league Thursday evening the political
situation was informally reviewed. 1t
was decided to get up a mass meeting
of the old soldiers Tor the purpose of
deciding what part the league will take
in the campaign.
