hardly expecting that the Democracy
itself would snub the independent voters
as il did when the Democratic city con-
vention put up Mr. Baker as IA straight
Democrat 10 be elected by Democrats and
to administer the municipal affairs in the
interests of Democracy as the speeches of
nomination declared.
Possibly this disposition of the Demo
cratic convention was not so audacous
rs IL appo,rcd to be. Very likely the
Democratic leaders already saw the indie
pendent vote ebbing away from Democ-
racy, tried as il has been. ana found
lamcntably wanting.
AT any rate. Mr. Baker stands today as
a candidate only OF the machine Democ-
racy-saving, OF course, the ridiculous
endorsement" by which 80 members Of
the Municipal League assume to speak
for that body of 400 mem bers None.of the
independent vote was represented in the
Democratic convention as it has not been
in any of the Democratic cauouses Mr..
Baker is q straight party candidate and
nothing more. If elected, he will owe no
pledges TO any other element but the
Democracy. His sponsors ask for no
votes in his behalf outside the party
ranks. On tie contrary they have pub
licly declared that with full Demo
cratic vots we can elect him. They
expect full vote of the party, and SO do
not care to bother with independents.
When IL is said that Col. kendrick' 5
strength Is growing In the independent
ranks, the Republican independents are
Of course referred 20. The Democracy has
never shown any Independents sentiment
in behalf of a Republican candidate but
only for campaign purposes, and always
I'm behalf of % Democratic candidate The
Republican party has little hope of win
ming any Democratic VOTES for Mr.. Ken
driok, except, perhaps, among the Demo
cratic taxpayers who expected, with
taxation uppermost a. an issue, to think
of their pockets first and their politics
second.
But what the Republican party does
confidently expect for its candidate Is the
support of these Republicans who, for
two years past have given their votes to
the Democracy i'm the hope Of Good Gov
ernment and have not been able To dis
cover the advantage expected To the mu-
nicipal interests. Expenditures have been
increased, instead of reduced the
bonded indebtedness has been
added to and the tax rate
is higher. II would have been higher yet.

ipg all elements i'm the party, put up
Col. Kendrick, candidate of record and
tested fitness. a man who needs no intro
duction, whoss promises are guaranteed
by the record of more than seven years in
the municipal administration and against
whom not one word can be said to affect
tho splendid showing that is matter of
public knowledge.
Anything like full party vote is bound
to elect him. And the party leaders are
ready To leave the matter to the intelli-

performance of the duty and privilege Of
