acknowledgements
Good Speech.

A very enthusiastic meeting was held
last night at Pohlmann's Hall by Re-
pnbiicans, Democrats who really desire
the welfare of the community, Jefferson
fans and Labor men. Such a rare com
bination as that is seldom found any
where. and it is the best Of signs that the
people this fall intend to elect Sheriff,
and not Boss Davis and his paid ballot
box suffers.
! was pleased to see such good Demo
Gratis as Hugh Cassidy. Timothy l. Lynch
and John Nolan at the meeting, accom-
panied by their Democratic friends, for it
Indicated that the Fourth district was
fully alive to the danger Of a continuation
in power Of Bob Davis gang. John
Macarthur, Judge Lancing. Colonel G. p.
Robinson, Isaac McEwan, Freeholder
Pfingsten and Eugene Branstein were
also present. Ex-Director Of Education
Van Der Zee called the meeting to order
and DIR. n. Allen was requested to pre-
side.
Freeholder Pangsten was the first
speaker, and the large crowd in the hall
gave him hearty welcome. Among
other good things that Mr.. Phngsten said
was that he believed Colonel Wanser
would be elected Sheriff Loud

fact that he is backed By aaang led by
Bob Davis shows who will control the
Office of Sheriff II he Is elected. The alec
ton of Sheriff is the issue Of this cam
paign. 1t is the question OF this campaign
whether you will rise and crush out the
wrongs that have been done you or
whether you will remain rcssive. On
Tuesday you will be called on to decide
whether you will be ruled as you ought
to be, by the people, or whether you will
permit one or two men to do as they
please in the future. Mr.. Pfngsten next
paid his respects to David NJ. Durrell and
pleaded with his audience to elect him.
The principal reason alleged by the
speaker for this resolution was that In
1852 when Mr.. Durrell represented the
Fourth district in the Assembly he never
missed a roll call"
Mr.. Pfngsten again referred to the
office of Sheriff, declaring: Il am speak
ing 70 you tonight as American citizens
and nos as party men, for see 6s before ssans me
Cool regular Democrats who fear no
