Robert Davis. Chairman of the Demo-

fed eyry precinct committeeman that ne
must within the week organize precinct
club. Last fall this plan was found to
work very effectively. In every precinct
it is proposed to have a club of at least
twenty members.
Mr. Davis also notified ward leaders
that they must without further delay re-
organize the several ward clupS ana gel

candidate for Street and Water Commls-
siorler will make his first appearance
and will pledge himself, if elected, to
give the city a clean, honest, economical
government. The record Of Of Colonel e.Is
lican nominee, John H. Weastell, has an
odd record. 1t will be laid before the
several organized labor societies and
unions in a few days. The Republicans
entertain no hope of electing him, and it
is not likely very vigorous campaign
will be waged for him. Colonel Smith
and his supporters will make an aggres-
sive fight :,

looks that way, however, is no reason
why our workers should remain idle. We

The people have not believed what has
been charged and it is my opinion that
they will demonstrate that fact with their
ballots on April II. Colonel Smith should
be elected by large majority. His cleo
tion means that the Street and Water
Board will remain in Democratic control
for two years. 1t is a department which
the Republicans converted into hospital

they did is that the water account is de-
pleted

publicans that the Democratic Street and

involved our International relations, that

Although reticent as to the details a
member of the Cabinet said after the

1t Is undoubtedly true that Spain is will
ing to make important concessions to the
United States and is willing to go even
so far as to withdraw her troops from
Cuba on conditions which, if not satis-
factory to this government, are more
liberal and conciliat tory than anything
hitherto received, and clearly indicate a
purpose to avoid war even If to attain
that end she is compelled to make sacri-
fees never before considered.
Notwithstanding these hopeful signs
the negotiations have not passed the
danger point, nor is it believed that this
government will accept any compromise
that does not involve prompt cessation OF
hostilitieS, even if the question of the fu-
ture government of Cuba be left to fu-
ture negotiations.
