PAST RECORD OF BAD FAITH
AN OLD GRUDGE THAT NOW
 SEEKS SATISFACTION.

Joseph P Kelly, Independent Demo- cratic candidate for Congress from the Fourth District, made his initial cam paign address last night before the h. dependent Democratic Club in Harmony Hall on Jackson street, near East. Near ly 800 sailors and residents of the district listened to MT. Kelly and cheered his efforts He was introduced by Chair man John Maloney and spoke for nearly an hour.
 MT. Kelly explained his reason for en- tering the present campaign as an inde- pendent candidate against James H. Barry and Julius Kahn. the Republican nominee, in the following words: TT have been a candidate in the Fifth Congress sfonal District as the regular Democratic nominee and would not have been a can didate In the Fourth District had 1t not been for the fact that MT. Barry, the so- called regular Democratic nominee, was an aspirant for the office in that district.
 The reason why l speak of NIT. Barry as being the so-called regular Demo- cratic nominee in the Fourth District is because he has never been a Democrat and never was entitled to Democratic support He twice defeated ex-Judge Ferral for Congress by putting in the field and supporting an independent can didate, with the result that Hon. W. ". Morrow was elected once, and John T. Cutting at another time. Another req son why he does not deserve his party s support IS that WIiSII luS late HUI. T ldLh McCoppin, ex-Mayor and .ex-postmaster of this city was nominated for Congress in the Fourth District MT. Barry brought Charles A. Sumner from Stockton and placed him in the fight as an independent candidate. Had MT. Summer not been candidate MT. McCoppin would have been elected by piupality r or SG9 votes snot,ad things in the Fifth Congressional District by supporting the candidacy of James Denmarl, one of the committee of one ioh which showed that Mr. Barry was again tool in behalf of the railroad and the Republican party by advocating Denman and electing Eugene F. Loud. Again, two years ago, at Red wood City, on the 10th day of July, MT. Barry, Mir. Clunie and myself were can didates for the nomination of Congress man from the Fifth Congressional Dis trict After we were placed In nomina- ton we were called before the conven- ton to express. our views. Each of us pledged himself to support the nominee of the convention, whoever he might be. The nomination was awarded to me, but MT. Barry proved false to his promise. He endeayored to secure the nomination at the hands of the so-called fusion com nittee, but was beaten by one vote. The fusion convention gave the nomination to a man who never denied and under his own signature admitted that he was member of the American Protective As- sociation.
 made before the convention he espoused the cause of this A. F. A., Kinney, as against the nominee he previously prom ised to support
 INT. Barry has made repeated asser- lions in his paper that he was opposed to the American Protective Association. I regret that that issue was ever brought into the fight, notwithstanding that 1 respect a man who has regard for prin- cipfe, but I do not respect a hypocrite. I have been reliably informed and will prove that in 1886, or whereabouts, an or der was formed here called the Patriotic Sons of America, the object of which was to prevent Catholics becoming members of the Board of Education, and at that time MT. Barry was a member of one of the councils thereof"
