Michael Mellet, Charles Quinn and Milton
Master Mr. MelIet has the endorsement of
Congressman Reilly, but that may not prove
to be conclusive this case. Mr. Master
claims to have the backing of Hensel and
also of personal friends of Postmaster. eneral
Bissell. Under ordinary circumstances, with
the endorsement of his Congressman, Mr..
Melet ought to win. Complication in the
case, however, renders it sufficiently doubt.

pressing the case.
"We've got em on the rum" and we pro-
pose keeping them going. Last Tuesdays
victory has greater significance than the
enemy will acknowledge. No sooner was the
result known, and the majority against
Bierstein estimated than the new allies Of
the Republican party decided to stand firm
and cast its lot with the same party for a fight
in the spring to show the Democrats where
they 'are at" Organization will be the first
step and much of the preliminary work has
been done. The Germans Poles and Lith
uanians who voted with the Republicans
know that by returning to their first love
! they will be treated worse than before They
have waited patiently for years, but their
reward came not and they are taking no
more chances. If tho Republicans are wise,
and we are certain they know a good thing
when they see it, they will give the new
recruits fair share of the offices to be voted
for next spring, By so doing they will
more firmly cement the movement for re.
form in the affairs of local government. At
the next spring election full tickets will be
put up in each of the five wards and there

Of offices among the different nationalities
their earnest attention. 1t is the keynote Of
victory.

none know this better than the Republi cans
do when they find their primaries stuffed by
the Democrats.
WHEN THE MILL BELLS RING.
o, won't the lads be happy and the lassies all
so gay,
When this weary, dreary waiting has forever
passed away
When the spindles all are whirring, and the
looms 90 "click-te-clack,"
And the hours of fun and frolc to their lives
have drifted back
When this lettering and loafng, for time a
least, is DER,
And the kitchen tables laden with gooC
eatables galore
When the silver dollars jingle, and the busy
housewives sing
o, won't it be so jolly
When
