ward Burgerverein was held at the
corner of Van Buren, and Minnehaha

whole Democratic ticket. Thomas Ker-
ker and Bernard Michel also made good
speeches. Morris Dienstag made hot
speech, but it was not received at all
favorably. Otto Haese also made a
short speech. John Jessrang spoke en-
thusias tically in favor of Mayor Smith
