MORE COLONIZATION
The TWenty-tirst Ward Padded
With HOBBS.
PEOPLE CRYING OUT AGAINST IT
The Terrible Outrage of Decency May Lead tC
Serious Results-The Grand Sachem
Takes 1t Placidly.

Since yesterdays expose of the Liberal
tissues" outrageous policy in colonizing
every doubtful ward in Salt Lake, reports
have come into this office from many sec
lions Of the city, by both letter and tele-
phone, stating that the scheme is being
much more largely worked than had been
supposed.
Papa" Powers has made up his mind to
carry the city at any sacrifice of party
principle, and he and his gang of satellites
are moving Heaven and earth to get to-
gether as many hobos as possible for this
purpose. The city promises to be left in
a most pitiable plight when these soulless
robbers have served their little day, and
shall be forced to return to their "hold
ups"
THE VAIL OF INDIGNATION
that has gone up in the last twenty-four
hours against "Bnlee" Ryan's protegees
may yet turn into war cry that will rid
Salt Lake city not only of the hobos but
their leaders. The outrageous conduct of
the alleged leaders has Disguised many of
the best element of the "lssue,'' and even
they say that lightning Is bound TO strike
somewhere.
The most horrid phase of the whole af-
fair, however. beyond the prostitution OF
| SlS SdCESu ElsuG o. FRANCHISE, anu tIS
| theft Of the city's treasures in paying
these alleged workmen for practically do
ing nothing, is the terrorizing of women
and children by the bands of thugs
| quartered around the city TO vote at the
coming election.
In one instance up on D street between
Third and Fourth, there were quartered
about sixteen Of these thugs for colonizing
! purposes. The house was the property OF
Mr.. E. ]. Woolley. Complaints came in
and Mr.. Woolley learned the purpose for
which the hobos had been placed in his
house and he Immediately
GAVE THEM NOTICE TO vAMoosE.
So great was their cheek however, and SO
! inadequate the law to deal with such case
that they defied HIM and declared their
purpose of staying until after the election
A HERALD reporter went out into the
| Twenty first ward to round up some OF
these mavericks of Ryan and his gang.
There was no trouble in finding them de-
spite the fact that people opened their
doors with shotguns in their hands fearin g
a night assault from some member of the
gang.
There are four places in this ward where
they are quartered in large numbers Two
on / street, one on street and one on
street.
| At number lS6 l street, in a little tum
bled down shanty, the bosses have located
! twenty-eight of their hobo colonizers
They came in q flock about three or -four
weeks ago. They borrowed tin pals, fry
ing pans and such things from variou:
people, moved in a few old ticks, and
visited number of hay stacks and stables
and got together straw enough to make &
palatial abode for a hobo. Chinatown in
San Francisco with its
FILTH AND vERsIIN, REEKING WITH VICE
and mephiticism is paradise as compared
with their abode.
But the festive hobo is happy. He is
housed and fed for from thirty to sixty
days for the mere selling of his soul to the
Liberal issue" to the extent of a vote.
Among those at 1S6 is an old chap from
Echo who has been recognized by his for
mer neighbors, and if it does not go hare
with him then Judge Zane has a misconcep
ton Of the law.
These twenty-eight hobos at 1S6, accord
ing to the neighbors in that vicinity, rise
about a. n. and trudge clear over to Brig
} ham street, where they are joined by other:
of like Xix. From that time until the moor
hour there goes OF such a struggle for {
place TO work that no work is done.
Whee the dinner hour and a half i.
ended these pets go through the same farce
laughing and chatting openly abou
their political aspirations. When Sunday
comes they hold wild orgies, and whisk,
galore flows throughout the camps. They
curse and swear and swagger around
these cheaply paid political swashbuckers
Just across the street from 1S6 is
ANOTHER GANG OF TEN.
They are of the same material, and prac
tice the same role. At Culmer's old place
opposite the Tweuty-frst ward meetini
house, is another gang. while on L street i
still another gang From whence the,
l came, or what vile sources the bosses hat
/ to place themselves in communication wit
to secure their aid is mystery that lie
between the grand moguls and the othe
end of the line.
