There were many Republicans at the
caucuses last night who are not in the
habit of attending political meetings.
One prominent citizen and large taxpayer.
at the Sixth ward caucus. said he had
never attended a caucus before He
thought he would not care to attend
auother for some time. He was crowded,
hustled, jammed, smoked, spit
upon, ana made about as uncom-
Portable as possible. He enjoyed the
experience. however. and voted with all
his might upon every occasion. Perhaps
the science and practice of politics will
some day advance TO point mt which
there may be dvceat rooms provided in
which the sovereign voter may exercise
his rights in comfort and cleanliness. Ia
one respect the Democrats have taken
step in advance OF the Republicans. The
Australian ballot system, which the
Democrats now employ mt caucuses,
makes jam unlikely If not impossible.
