save BLA4lNER And LEE
The Latest Order Sent From
Kelly's Saloon.
BOSSES GROWING UNEASY.
Even If the Legislative Ticket Is Lost the
Sheriff and County Clerk Must
Win.

Trouble is brewing among the candidates
on the Kelly CrImmins-De Young ticket lor
offices at the City Hail.
The fat has gone forth from the salooh
headauarters at Is Third street that every
thing else must be sacrificed to save bait
per and Lee and the legislative ticket out
that the candidates for Sheriff and County
Clerk must be saved anyway.
Even the legislative ticket, with Mixes
feeble chances, must go if necessary so that
the patronage Of the two principal offices IN
the City Hail can be retained.
So desperately have they evidently con-
sidered the chances for these twothat when
il was learned that McDade was to contrib
ute $500 for the shrieyalty nomination
ON Pats Own Individual Interest party
Blattner was ordered to raise the ante by
500, and Blattner is now on that ticket.
What value tina! will be to him remains to
be seen.
The so-ealed party has fled a petition
purporting to be signed by about $500
names, but even a casual glance shows that
many names in succession are IN the same
handwriting.
However, & nomination by this small
aggregation can do neither harm nor good
for any candidate, and in fact can only
affect the result by about four votes. ne
KelIv and CrimmiDs men on the ticket Will
also nave the magic" initials. up. O. l. l., !"
after their names as we'll as Rep"
One circumstance about this peace CLUB IS
worth mentioning. The new law made GER
tain conditions necessary to place on the
ballot ticket, and the president saw that he
might have difficulty in securing poSII"u.
SO he placed on his ticket the names OF
three of the Election Commissioners, ihou9n
Skr,r fhaNr X
contribute a cent toward his Campaign
fund.
One OF them has paid on one occasion
5000 and on another S125 for this precious
nomination. Another Commissioner, not
now running for Office. has contributed stllI
larger sums 10 the past and considers them
thrown away.
How desperate then must be the eondi-
ton Of the Third street gang Wnen they
order their candidate for Sheriff to contrib
ute $500 for this empty honor? Many sto-
Ties have been told about the position OF
City and County Attorney burst with re-
gard To the kely-CTlmmins ticket. IL mas
been stated that he had been thrown over
board because he was not subseTylent
enough t. the gang.
This appears not to be the exact truth.
The real fact is that they were afraid 10
place mis- name on the ticket, but he Is TO get
there Just the same. Instead of being City
inally change places with his hrst assistant,
Myer Jacobs. if the TbiTd-street aggregation
can carry the latter through.
Even be does not deny this. Myer ia
cobs however. says that If elected he will
appoint his own assistants without refer
ence to any one. BE feels sore because he
fsneies be NAV be one Of the spratS that
may be thrown out TO catch enc Of the two
big whales.
Every man Gu the Kelly Crimmins ticket
hss in reality made up his mind that be
must look after himself. The decision Of
the Supreme Court has rendered il lmpOssi-
