The new movement. or rather the revival
OF the Sid movement was theme Tor dis

congregated, and for Sunday there were
quite number around. The general opin-
ion among the Republican and Democratic
workers was that IL was something to be
afraid of as political factor.
There is one thing about it which is

They are all those of men whose stand
ing in the community is high aud un-
questioned. In year like this when
there has been so much wrangliug over
bosses, and so many of the old party
leaders have been fighting Ike cats for
control Of Offices, the NoD-Partisans are
liable to be In it stronger than they ever
were. You know when the membe rs of
the Peoples Party began their work it was
predicted that they would take with the
ttho .viN
last lime, but they see what b0tch they
made OF their affairs In the city. We've
nothing to fear from them, but l tell you
this NOn-Partisan move is going 10 cut us
pretty badly and don't you forget it," and
with this warning tie politician winked,
and stroIled away.
What the respective bosses of the Re-

which be is concerned.
"The coloDePs been taking lessons In
the art of how to know nothing in poll
