the Candidates w ere
Present.

Ocratic club held an enthusiastic meet
ing at 1913 South Washington street last
evening. and the hall was packed to suf-
location. In the absence of Rube Schu-
nemann George Sherman presided, and
NJ. Holms acted as secretary. Speeches
were made by the candidates and many
members of the club. aud altogether 1t
was the banner meeting of that end of
the Fifth ward.
William Koch, candidate for register
of deeds, was the first speaker intro
duced and he briefly reviewed the ticket
and asked the voters to reward the
Democratic convention for the recogni.
ton the ward had received by a rousing
majority for the entire ticket.
George Redington, for the legisla-
ture from the Fifth ward. was next
called, and neatly and concisely told
what he would do il elected. Witt
Cochran, candidate for the legislature
from the Fourth ward, was present and
entertained in humorous vein for both
his own ward and the Fifth.
John S. erode. for city treasurer, told
of his early life in the ward and how he
had worked among those whom he now
saw before him. and asked their suf-
frages for the entire ticket. Anton
Miesen. for sheriff, spoke briefly, and
at the close of the meeting entertained
the boys right royalty.
Robert Ringwald. president of the
lower club in the Fifth ward, made a
neat speech, advocating straight party
ticket, ana that its success meant better
times for the labering man. Charles
Kelly addressed the club, and said he
hoped the Fifth ward would 90 so
strongly Democratic that it would show
beyond a doubt that the people took no
stock in Republican stories that the
hard times were due to Democrats.
The effort of the evening was that of
the gifted orator from the Eighth ward,
Frank Bailey. In the course of an
hour and half he reviewed the entire
ticket. and it was one of the best efforts
he ever made. Facts and argument
we're what he used. and he used
them most successfully, too. He
opened up with the head of the
ticket. and showed how w. A. Van
Slyke had beautified the city and then
c0ntrasted the work Of MIR. Rogers, who
had made money i'll st. Paul and then
went to Chicago to spend il, and now
comes back TO get SOME more. He COM
plimented William Koch, who was
from the ward of the people whom ne
was addressing, and said that he would
guarantee him a big majority i'll the
Eighth ward as any one had ever re-
ceived. He complmented and made the
70. lot,
Anton Nielsen, who he said was the
bggest-hearted man he had ever seen,
and every other candidate OH the ticket.
He referred feelingly to the candidate
for abstract clerk from his own ward,
James A. F. Dowlan, and hoped that the
Fifth would DO the same by him us the
Eighth would do by their candidate.
He then took up Nj. F. kaiiI, candi :
date for county auditor, and after a
splendid eulUgy reviewed his record III
the council, where he had introduced
the ordinance for 81. so a day for the
laboring man, as we'll as his support of
the eight.hour movement. He showed
that Michael Kahn was one of the great
est friends the laboring man ever had.
and backed up every statement with
facts from the city records. He then
read the ordinances OF the same tenor
which had come up before the council
at the time Dennis Sullivan was
member, and showed how ne (Sullivan)
had voted against both the ordinances
which had the full support OF NJ. f.
Kahn, and which he (Kain) worked
through the council. He also proved by
records how Sullivan had voted against
the three-eent fare between the hours
of and inthe morning and evening
because it benefited the laboring man.
"a hot
confederation of these facts to call on
him and he would produce the
records. In fact Sullivan wasn't
in it when Bailey got through.
The speaker then paid glowing trib-
ute to George ReddingtoE, the candidate
tor the legislature from the Fifth, and
said he knew him from boyhood, and
that he would do honor to the ward and
the entire city as member of the legis-
lature. In closing he asked that no voter
on election day forget that peer Of all
young men who had come from the
ranks of the Democracy and offered to
fight the congressional battle in this
district to successful issue, Ed J.
Darragh. and show that in him the peo-
pie had chosen leader who could carry
the banner of the party to victory. The
club then adjourned to next Thursday
evening.
Promine mt among those in the audi
ence at the meeting was Charles Jess
rang, the popular candidate tor the
legislature from the Ninth ward, who
came down from the meeting of the
Seven corners club to hear the great
speech of his friend Battley.
