Dr. Schiffmann makes an ideal can
didate. He was not even consulted
about the nomination before 1t was
rendered him, but when he did accept
he said he would do the best he could
to secure a victory for the ticket
which he heads, and he is doing 1T.
He has a famous physical constitu-.
ton and is doing an amount Of work
that would kill the ordinary man in
middle life He is not much of a.
speech maker, but all the speeches the
mayor of this town has to make might
as well be neglected entirely. He does
make a little talk at couple OF meet
ings every evening, but they are incl
dents to the work Of the day.
He is an early riser and he gets to
his private office at an hour when most
politicians are yet in bed. His private
affairs are disposed of in a couple OF
hours, and then he starts out in a
spring wagon to see the people in the
outlying wards and in the shops.
For five days now he has been at this
work and there is that about the doc
tor that makes every one he meets his
friend. He cannot Jolly" like the
colonel, but he is evidently sincere and
he impresses people as being that. If
:
he would be elected, if he could meet
all Of the voters.
In each Of the wards he has couple
of friends to go along for the introduce
tons where they are necessary, and he
has been pretty thoroughly through the
Eighth, Ninth and Fifth wards.
"How do I feel" he said in response
been out in the rain for a few hours,
why, fresh as daisy. A fellow
couldn't feel otherwise meeting SO
many people who are glad to see him.
OF course, 1 understand that a candi-
date will not meet many people who
will tell him that they are against him,
but those that 1 have met are good
enough fellows, so that am the better
for knowing them and I'm glad to get
about and meet them; it would do me
good to know so many citizens, If I
never held any sort of office. However,
I'm not at all fearful about the result,
and if anything should happen, why,
the experience has done me a lot of
good and I know it won't do the people
1 meet any harm"
DR.. Schiffmann proposes to allow his
committee to dispose of his time as
they see fit from now until the end of
the campaign. He will not be hamper
ed in the daytime, but will be expected
to make at least two five-minute talks
every night. The five minutes will not
In any case be devoted to the discus
sion of the policy of the European
powers.
The mere announcement of Republican
rally is an effective way of pumping winter
down in the lap of spring
Everybody knows what McCardy can do with
figures, but it is hardly likely that he will
nave the nerve to suggest figures at time
when people are interested and may try to
find out what they mean.
If any voter can satisfy himself as tn

he is in duty bound to vote for him. Two
years ago he was Democrat, now he is a
Republican, and utterly repudiates the Prohi-
bitionists, who first discovered him. He
ought to have coed time running with a
clsan-cut man like F. A. Pike against him.

1t has been decided by the Republican poll
ticians to organize a monster Kiefer club

proposition will become apparent when the
seven Kfefer men get together.
Give Eddie Hinebaugh a typewriter and
plenty Of paper and he can pass more reso-
lutions and hold more meetings than any man
who ever dallied on the edge Of politics.
Ii i!S1o ;h., says to H: W: Mcdonald;
"All right, Ed; consider it all over with.
You go and write it up for the paper
That is g sample of Hinebaugh's meetings.
Earlier in the campaign, Ed kept furnish

meetings. Finally, one night, reporter was
sent to one Of the advertised affairs. No.

Donald and two reporters.
The other Ave were Seannell Republicans.
They tossed Hinebaugh in the air, and when
he came down he found himself in the Kiefer
ranks, but with his penchant for holding

strong as ever.
81 don't Think said John L. Townle
the other evening at the Sixth Ward Dsmo
cratic meeting that there will be any chance
of an endorsement being given to McCardy
