The Chicago Times of November s,
says:
Leaders of the Peoples party came
up smiling yesterday over the result
OF the election the day before. After
sleeping on the returns and looking
over the situation as it presented it.
self yesterday morning there seemed
to be consensus of opinion to the ef-
feet that, all things considered, the
party had done very we'll. There was
a general determination expressed
among the leaders to keep up the par
ty organization and go into the
mayorality campaign next spring with
renewed vigor.
John L White said: 'The result
confidence in the Democratic party. 1t
also shows that the workingmen of the
state and of Cook county either stayed
at home or voted for the Republicans.
We got fair share of their votes in
passing. But we will get more next
time. We know that the working
man cannot hold on with the Republi-
cans. Every practical result accom-
plished by that party is in opposition
to it's interests. 1t is the party of pro-
lection for capital and monopoly and
competition for the laborer The next
time the workingman turns he will
turn to the Peoples party"
Il. j. Morgan said: II feel first rate
over the result. Now that all the en-
thusiasm is over and we look back and
see that over 10000 votes came to a
new party from motives of pure prin-
ciple the result must be considered
highly gratifying viewed from a cold
political standpoint. We will keep I'D
our party organization and continue
the work of political education until
We finally achieve success"
j. j. SchweMgen said: "We are
here to stay. The work of the PEOPLES S
party will go right on. We will start
another campaign at once. We will
rcorganize our forces, secure perman-
ent headquarter, and begin an
other campaign which will end at
the election for; mayor next spring,
when we will start. out again for the
election which follows that"
G.. G. Dixon said: Il do not regard
the result in the light of a permanent
victory for the Republicans. 1t mere
ly shows that the people are dissatis-
fed and are showing dissatisfaction
by going from one political party to
another. The Peoples party now has
a firm foothold in The political arena
and will profit by this unrest among
the people"
A. b. Adair. who led the ticket in
his candidacy for county clerk, said:
''The votes cast for the Peoples party
presents one Of The most gratifying
signs Of the times. That $1,000 elec-
tors could be persuaded to come out
of the mire Of political bigotry and
place themselves on the firm ground
of political independence, and go on
record for vital issues of the day is
evidence that our plan of campaign
was good one. We sought to appeal
to mems reason rather than their pre-
judiccs. Tolstol has said that it takes
q century of talk to get a century of
deeds, but if we are successful in win
ming people to our cause in the imme-
date future as we have been in the
immediate past we will soon get
enough Peoples party votes to estab-
liSh it's DrODOSe0 reform ;,
