The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-12-01
Did James the
Heavy
FORGET HIMSELF
In the Presence of Ladies
and Good Newspaper Men.

He might die and then that d
Spy man would make hit of il"
Thus spoke the Honorable James
| Heavyweight Mellen member-elect of
the great and glorious house of repre-
sentatives in general session to be here
! matter assembled.
May God save the commonwealth of
Massachusetts,"
James loves The Spy even as cat
loveth hot soup. OF course he doesn't
read it, his news of the day is CLEANED
from the abiding place of the gilt-edged
bulletin board and the bottled brains
with the odds so strongly in favor of
the bulletin board. This explains a
great deal, but James knows that The
Spy is a good paper, a real good family
paper-for political family. tel start
the hottest kind of fire political or 9TH
erwise. James knows from experience
| that it'll keep the dust OFF any old shelf
he ever ran against in his political ca
reer. And carpets! Jim knows that with
The Spy under It, political vermin stand
a poor chance of getting on the car
pet.

The Spy. he naturally does considera-
BILE thinking about it and incidentally
about the men who work on it. Yes
terday he thought out loud; the only
disagreeable feature Of the show being
that 1t took place in the city clerk
Office and in the presence of the lady
clerks. Personally, The Spy man didnt
mind being referred to as that d
Spy man" The qualifying d." lent

up the weak spots and the whole N&s
accompanied by such hearty laugh
dixie a champagne bottle slipping It's
cork) that barring the ladies present,
1t was really worth the price of admls-
sion. 1t came about this way The
Spy man was in the clerks Office at
tending to his professional duties 1t
was then about AIS James came in
| accompanied by John H. Meagher.
As chairman and secretary of the
meeting yesterday morning at winch
! the nomination for mayor was given TO
| Captain Churchill, it became the joint
| duty of the officers to file the captains
certificate of nomination. They were
| there to do 1t and wanted to do it quick,
for the honorable representatives, ELECT
| had to keep an appointment at 4.SO. The
| certificate of nomination had been
| sworn to when it was discovered that
| the certificate, which was typewriter
and not ON one of the regular forms,
! contained no reference to the power of
the committee to fill vacancies. The
representatives elect was in a hurry to
60 and Mr. Meagher suggested that one
| of the clerks get up the clause on
| typewriter slip which could be affixed
| to the margin of the certificate of nom
nation, the original signatures answer
| ing for both sections of the document.
This was done and James started but
/ ~ hack
| him. The fact that The Spy is printed
! every day in the year was borne home
upon him, and dashing breathlessly
| back in the clerk office he seized a pen
and affixed his name to the vacancy
| clause, sWore to it, and as he started to
go out of the door, he explained, 1t
may be all right, but he might die and
then that d Spy man would make
a hit And the d Spy man smiled,
! the lady clerks looked thoughtful the
! door slammed and James Heavyweight
/ Mellen went forth into that world which
is so distinctively his own.
The last of the certificates of nomina-
! ton were filed yesterday afternoon, the
! last one in being that of the democratic
