sonal character of DR.. Schiffmann this last
charge is silly.
The fact is that he is so far DESTROYS
of not doing anything in the campaign that
might be reflection on him afterwards that
he has deliberately opposed having anything
said or done for him that would be in the
nature of a personal attack on his opponents,
He goes on the assumption that he will only
be mayor for a couple of years in any event,
and that he will live in st. Paul all his life.
He will not do that to get himself elected
to office that might put him on disagreeable
terms with his fellow citizens.
This is a state of mind that cannot be
appreciated by the professional office seeker,
who justifies all things in a campaign II
Dr. Schiffmann had not felt so strongly
IN TINS matter there might have been a very
olHeTent campaign made, considering the vul-
nerab1lity OF the people in the lead of the
opposition.
The doctor has done nothing in this cam
palgn that he Is ever likely to regret. as a
man or as citizen of st. Paul.
He has not countenanced drunkenness and
has morta!ly offended the ward heeers and
grafters who have tried to work him, and
ne Is one OF the few men who have run for
the of1ce of mayor In this town who has
kept well within the legal limits of the ex-
penditures permitted a candidate.
Remember that 1t is no use to elect a
mayor without electing city council that is
in in sympathy with him. Vote the ticket
men for the places than those named on the
Demecrat-Citizens' ticket. ~ =: - s''a ;','4t
In voting for assemblymen, after you have
voted for the seven Democrat-Citizens that
are together, run your eye down the line
until you see the names of Nash and Enoch
johnson Don't forget that they belong to
the ticket.
What Is the use of electing to office a man
who has taken over a hundred thousand dol
lars out of the public purse and still is Of
so little use In the community that he has
residence only where he happens to hang
his hat, and whose home is in folding bed
in a corner of his office? Kiefer has no more
to do with the social life of this community
that he had to do with Washington when he
lost himself in the basement Of the capitol.
There was cause for crashing of teeth in
the Ninth Sunday night, for Mr.. Larsen mad
been put up against new game in poll
tics. Mr.. Larsen goes to a church down on
broadway, and Sunday evening he was laid
for by push of Third ward erafters who
met him on his way and told him that they
they belonged in his ward, and he gave them
the price Of keg or two. They got the beer
ard took possession of empty store oppo-
site the church. When the beer had clrcu-
lated bit they got noisy. and some of them
suggested that they ought to m Ike their PROM
Uses to Larsen good by doing little shout
ing for him. They howled for and about him
with such good will that they disturbed the
church meeting that he was at, and while the
preaching was going on the congregation was
disturbed by shouts for Larsen. The alder
man stoou IL as long as he could and when
the eyes OF everyone in the church were
finally turned upon him he had to get I'D and
go OUT. And at that he was unable to sup
press his friends in the empty store, and had
TO get them more beer to quiet them.
1t Is rather dirty politics to accuse Ed Muir
Ply OF being in any way responsible for the
demonstration that took place at Harbeck' s
hall Sunday night. Mr.. Murphy has at ali
times besought his friends to keep away from
Republican meetings If they didn't want to
near him abused. Democrats are pretty nu-

not been seen Democrats present and Demo-
cratic cheers given. So it was Sunday night.

abused they howled the speaker down, In
