DEMOCRATS FOR THE CANDIDATE
f. W. Hinrichs, OF the Young Mems Demo- |
cratic Club. had hearty reception He spoke
Of the lack OF political information In the city.
The club he represented by its constitution could
not act on a nomination without f~e days
notice but on Saturday night 1t would doubtless
ndorse Mr. Schleren. He had been at work
for months and this result could be regarded as
fruit OF the seed already sown Honest Demo-
Gratis came together early In the summer ana
resolved to combine with Republicans to cleanse
the Augean stables which disgraced the city. |
Mr. Boody was not Mayor OF the city, the |
Mayor was composite. formed of six or seven
men. The charter placed all the responsibility
anid his duty urns To ..nrnyide for the bows. |
