 Voters of the First Ward:
 The First Ward Democratic Reform club in presenting the following ticket to be voted for at the primaries on Mon day, have et1deav pred as far as practic- able to give equal representation to all sections of the ward. The ticket Is headed with the name of John N. Moran for alderman, of whom no words of praise are needed, he having been an afduous worker h the ranks of the party for years. This club was the first organi alton to ask him to lead the party in the coming contest. Two-thirds of the delegates are taxpayers and prop erty owners in the ward and have only the best interests of the party in view. Organized labor asked for and have also their representatives, which Is as It should be, for those who represent the backbone and sinew of our city should certainly be represented in the manage ment of its affairs. For two years tickets have teen made up and forced upon the voters of this ward, presented by few persons directly interested in few town offices. The ma jority have concluded that there should be a change and the result is the following tlCket presented for your approval. Every name on the ticket has been placed there with permission of the party mentioned. Turn out then, on Monday, every body, and show by your vote that the large ajority of the voters of the first ward must and shall have a voice in the man agement of its affairs. Vote for the l following ticket and you may rest as sured that your object will be attained
