green badge on, to a LIGHT re.
porter, yesterday, who was wearing
the Young Mems Elmendorf club
badge of red and white.
because | don't want to wear a
Paris Green one," was the reply.
A Callaghan supporter came out
yesterday with tiny green anchor
on his coat. An Elmendorf man
told him this badge was very APP
propriate, as this implement was
only useful when it was at the bot
tom Of the sea, where it would be
sent after election day.
The banks OF the Medina and
the Mexicans from the ranches
| near San Antonio, were drawn
upon for great many recruits for
the Callaghan procession. Some Of
the country Mexicans acknowl-
edged this, and were in hurry to
get home.
The railroad men have asked
whether Engineer Fuller, formerly
of the S. A. P. railway, is running
city or a county steam
roller. They have found out
that it is county steam roller he
is operating.
A Callaghan man was talking in
Scholz's saloon Tuesday night to
Mr.. F. w. Stuve. He had an open
knife in his hand and was shaking
it very dangerously near Mr..
Stuve's face. Accidentally he
dropped it, and Mr.. Stuve stopped,
picked it up and handed it back to
him saying, "Here, you may need
this to fight, don't"
An Elmendorf club has been
formed on South Heights with six
ty members. DIR. w. Jones is the
president and J. NJ. Thompson is
secretary.
The Fourth ward Elmendorf
club, colored, held a fine meeting
at their headquarters on San Pedro
avenue last night. n. q. Williams
made a splendid speech, in which
he laid the case plainly before his
hearers and showed them
why their interests and the
interests OF all colored men in the
city, were with Elmendorf as
mayor instead of Callaghan.
Messrs. Herff, Minor and Efron
were in attendance at the meeting.
A big ward rally was held in the
Third ward last night at Woeltz's
hall. There were fully 700 men
present. The Elmendorf ticket was
enthusiastically endorsed, and
speeches were made by Mayor FL
mendorf, l.. A. Zuloaga, A. M.
Gray, F. Herff, Bart Crowther, Jos.
Ryan, Jos. Hettler, Basantes and
| others.
Mr.. Gray, at Woeltz's meeting
last night, asked one man who for
merly worked on Mr.. Russi's street
commissioners force, how much he
| was assessed on the campaign
fund; "25 cents day" was the
| answer.
To an ex-fireman during the Cal
laghan administration was asked
the same question: $50, each OF
| u.s." was the answer.
"How many Of you have the Ell.
mendorf people assessed" was
| asked. "None," came the unani-
nous reply.
One Of the members Of that boy
cotting comm ttee says he is sorry
he was ever put on that committee
and is evidently not in sympathy
with the boycott OF the candidates.
