NOW FOR DnmoCRArIc SUCCESS.

Every Indication points to the success
of the Democratic ticket for salaried
offices n Councilmen at the election
Thursday week. Yet, While this is true.
every effort should be made to bring out
every Democratic voter to the polls.
The large vote polled at the primaries
afforded unquestionable evidence Of the
interest taken by the Democratic voters,
and gave assurance that harmony exist
ed in the Democratic ranks. The fair
ness of the primary, the opportunity
given to every Democratic voter to eX-
press his preference and choice as to the
candidates to compose the ticket, We're
reasons. and important ones, that tend
ed 20 bring out the Democratic voters.
Then. too, the splendid material that the
ticks' is composed OF, bothl for the sala-
ried offices and the Councils, is a source
OF general satisfaction, and a guarantee
that the government of the city will be
in safe land responsible hands on the
return Of the Democratic party to power.
1t behooves every Democrat to be up
and doing between now and the close Of
the polls on election day. There should
be systematic organization in every
ward. 1t is nowIthat Democratic clubs
and Democratic associations can demon
strate their influence and exercise their
usefulness. h action tof the John S.
Barbour Club, previous to the prima-
ries. in resolving not to commit itself
to any candidate for nomination, but to
rally to the support OF the ticket nomi-
mated and work for it's success was COM
mendable and in line with true Demo-
crazy. The benef4Nof the resolution has
been seen. The Democracy of the First
Ward is united and harmony prevails.
So is 1t in all the wards. 80
Let, therefore, every effort be made
10 bring out the Democratic voters on
cleo Ion day, and'to this end, let there be
active and systematic organization.
