BILLY FITZGERALD SUPPRESSED

The peace that lowered over the de-
liberatiOns of the Democratic purity COM
mttee last evening was almost ominOus.
The clubroOms in the Baldwin Annex
were again tie scene of their labors. The
greater part of the crowd that filled the
small rooms came through curiosity. and
in the hope of witnessing the outbreaks
and Instructions that have been threaten
ing all along the line. They were dlsap-
pointed.
Even Billy Fitzgerald, who came loaded
with afidavits directed toward the sup
preston and Punishment OF ). NJ h'eln'

fifth Dis rict Club. was refined up anu re-

which has the effect of RELOCATING him TO
a back room for the time being.
As if be knew how it was going to be
Chairman Pepper did not report until
nearly o'clock last night, the rank and
file Of the purifiers from the several dis
tricts meanwhile centering about the sew
eral spittoons in the lobby of the Baldwin
discussing how much an election to the
Legislature was really worth to man.
When they had finally assembled Mr..
Pepper ran through call of the districts
from the Twenty-eighth to the Thirty
fifth before he found a man who had any
p thing to say.
Then Mr.. McDade stepped forward with
3 modest question.
''If a nominee on a club ticket was sus-
peced Of living in some other district
might another name be put on?'
"State your case" said Mr.. Pepper.
After some consultation on the side
Mr. McDade said that the suspect was
/. J. Mcdonald, named for the canvassing
committee, and who didn't live in the dis
trict.
Straightway a half dozen champions Of
MI Mcdonald gave tongue. Bis family
lived there. they said, but Mr.. Mcdonald.
who drives a patrol wagon, was required
to stay with the wagon, so lived apart
from his family much of the time, but his
home was at 2019 Mission street, all right
Gere was where Mr.. CIune worked his
patent suppresSing apparatus, voices haV-
ing risen high and struck a constant dis
cord. Some mentioned that the case was
exactly similar to that of President Klein,
which had been referred back TO the can
wasting committee, and it was moved that
the same be done in Donaldson's case, and
1t was done.
Mr.. Burns at this late day submitted the
roll of the Thirty-siXth District, which did
not contain the residences of the voters
and was returned TO him. Mr.. Quinn
made little kick for this district to the
effect that the roll was loaded with stuff
ers.
For the Thirty-seventh District Joe
O'DonneI. as representing the minority,
wanted the committee to withhold action
on the roll presented by the canYassing
committee. as that committee had not done
Its duty. The citations were misleading,
he said. which was why they had not been
responded to. The minority wanted time
2 to canvass the district.
Objections were made to granting apv
more time, the rule being that the general
committee would do the canvasslng if it
was not complete now. However. Mr..
O'Donnell was assured the committee
would hear him further, If he desired, on
Saturday evening. In the meantime the
minority will do the canvassing.
A similar protest came from the Forty
first District, and it will be heard on Mon
day. when the certified roll Of each district
must be reported.
The caller ran down the lists of districts
until the Forty fifth, when Mr.. Fitzgerald
crowded out of back room saying, "Im
here"
II was then that he unbuttoned his coat
and pointing at his side pocket declared
that he came with afidavits to prove that
Mr.. Klein, who wanted to be president of
the club, lived over in the Mission. But
that matter had been referred to the can
vassing committee and Mr.. Fitzgerald had
20 put a stopper on his wrath.
"But I want to give you an instance of
how the work of purgng the rolls has
been conducted in the Forty-ifth District.
OF the $50 men on the list alleged to be
suffers only few got citations to appear,
while others-my own name among them
not on the list, received citations" he
cried.
Bet he was sent into the back room
again, saying as he retired that he could
show that other would be officers did not
live in the district.
Upon motion of Major Harvey the can
wasting committee are required to report
tonight.
Upon motion of Mr.. Clunie it was de-
cided that the committees meet and choose
election officers on the oath.
