taintY Of several OF the candidates getting
In with sweeping majorities.
Many converts have been made to The
cause Of good government since the ticket
was launched, and the most cheering
news comes daily TO the central committee
OF the party from all sections. The can
vass being made by the candidates is
most thorough one, and the nightly speak
ing Is drawing out crowds OF thoughtful
voters. There is no getting around the

and that lies in the suffers. The great
register is filled with them, but the REFORM

Rtveng@ of the y. Il. q.
The American Railway Union has wreaked
is revenge on Clarl-S Z. Hail, who during The
strike was widely known as the onearmed
strike lie der. Al a meeting of the Oakland
union Oh Friday night he was expelled from
the order. Ostensibly he was expelled for Yio-
laIing section 81 of The constitution of the A.
r. u, which reads: "a member engaged, di-
reciiy or Indirectly in The sale of Intoxicating
liquor, shall at once sever his connection with
the order; falling TO apply for a card OF with
dlaWal the secretary shall strike his name from
the roll" HaIPs violation Of This section. The
members say, consisted llI MS being Individual
~ interested IN saloon at least IG the extent
of hiring certain individual to clean IL uD
lust prior TO The sudden re0peQllg. But Ddck
OF all this is a story.
The real trouble seems TO be that Hall to-
gether with George Bishop strike secretary of
the local branch. have become not only COM
mon everyday politicians, but railroad politi-
clans. and il is in this respect that they have
offended their FLOWS the "ex-stfikers," WHO

admire the railroad or It's pollt zeal hire liDgs
This seems TO be the whole trouble In a nut
shell.
Al one time Hall WIS venerated by the A. R.

TO than he during the strike. de was STA
toned In tower 2, at the head OF the mole, and
