The Traitorous Trio, Saloon
keeper Brady, Divekeeper
Wolf and Tool Kartak
HAVE A COMBINATION,
And They Operate at the Ex-
pense Of the Com
munity.
THEIR SYSTEM OF VOTING
On Important Measures Is In,
genious and Success
full.

1t Is a fact that can be proved when
ever necessary that ever since their I'M
fortunate election to the board of alder
men, Saloonkeer Brady, Divekeeper
Wolf and Tool Kartak have been three
of four-handed combination organized
solely for the purpose of self gain at the
expense of the honest and law-abiding
citizens of st. Paul. Their votes on any
important matters, such as the granting
of franchises, licenses, permits and
privileges, are invariably cast according
to the decision of four-handed caucus,
which Is sometimes held in Saloon
keeper Brady's private Office or Dive
keeper VOLTS disreputable wine rooms.
Sometimes, in fact most always, the
party who Is to receive the privilege.
license or franchise meets with them so
that when the trio appear in the coun-
ell chamber they know how they are go,
ing to vote, no matter what may be said
by other members Of the board. Very Of
ten one of the three is selected to cast his
vote in opposition to the other two, SIM
ply and solely for the purpose Of mis-
leading the other members of the board
and parties who may be interested.
This system Of voting has been fol-
lowed by these persons with f1atterin g
success. and the opposition vote alter
mates between the three so that the
members of the board become confused
and have small foundation for believ-
ing that any ring or combination exists.
1t is known, however, by prominent
lawyers, citizens and merchants, who
can testify that the votes of
These Three Persons
are not to be obtained by honest argu-
ment or convincing proof. AS rule
the deals are engineered by Saloon
keeper Brady.a and "what he says goes"
in the terse, but not elegant, language
of DIvekeeper Wolf.
Wherever there have been sharp crit
icisms on the board of aldermen for
mysterious action, they are invariably
traceable to Sal0onkeeper Brady, Dive
keeper Wolf and Tool Kartak. They
have engaged in many suspicious deals
and have been met with such success
that they have at times been careless
away. In almost every important meas
ure which comes before the board of
aldermen. there is deal. and, when the
disclosures are made. 1t will be seen
that the GLOBE knows whereof 1t

as far East as the Atlantic. and st. Paul
Is reputed to have a crooked board of
aldermen.

The system they follow is Ingenious;
it could not be improved; but it could
not be followed so successfully by Dive
keeper Wolf and Tool Kartak, if
left to their own resources, for they
simply haven't the head to do it. So
