association, acted as chairman and r. A.
Larrimore was secretary. Previous to the
appearance Of the various candidates some
routine business was transacted. G. j.
Dahl, candidate for city auditor, was intro
duced and made a speech, in which
he gave a short story of his life and the
creditable manner in which he had con-
Quoted the position of boiler Inspector dur
ing the present administration. He had
had sufficient experience, he thought, to fill
the office to which he aspired, and he re-
spectfuly asked for their support. Mayor
Snyder entered at the close of Mr.. DahPs
remarks and he was received with three
rousing cheers.
Mayor Snyder spoke to the members o.
the association on the ordinance regulating
the hitching in the streets. He referred to
how he had been in favor of them and had
given the association his support in the
past and done what he thought and what
they realized was for their best interest.
They had at first thought he was not with
them during the campaign two years ago,
but they had speedily learned that the
mayor was for them. He said that he was
IN favor of all those who had to work for
living uniting in a protective association
in order to aid their interests.
| Frank Walker, candidate for assessor,
spoke briefly. He said that the hacks would
not be worth so much if they were located
away off on some hill from the center of
the business part of the city. He expressed
himself as being in favor of the hackmen.
| Charles G. holster, candidate for street
superintendent, told the association that If
they elected him he would see that the
streets were put into proper condition and
kept so. All Of which would be of benefit
to the hack drivers and expressmen.
George Harlan, candidate for city tax and
license collector, spoke briefly and said that
he would transact the business of the office,
provided he was elected, in a courteous and
efficient manner.
]. Henry Dockweiler, candidate for city
engineer, made one of his characteristic
speeches, in which he related many anus
ing "reminiscences, based on his own expert
ence and that of others. He also referred
to the water question and explained con-
| Cisely the issues at stake.
| Lieutenant Joy Winans, candidate for
city treasurer was introduced by Mr.. Dock
weller Mr.. Winans appeared in his uni
| form as an officer in the volunteer army.
He said that he did not ask for the vote
of any one because of anything patriotic he
ment. He had done nothing which any
other man would not have done for his coun-
try. He thought he was qualified to hold
the place, and would, he said, conduct it in
an efficient manner. n
DR.. Edelman, chairman of the Democratic
city central committee, made telling
speech, in which he urged the association
to support the Democratic nominees, for the
lfen hat ilx-.o
the Republican party had put up and in
many instances little better Frank Fin
layson spoke on behalf of various candidates
urging their election and giving excellent
reasons why they should be chosen to office.
AS the campaign progresses it is evident
that Mayor Snyder and the Democratic
ticket are gaining strength every day. Con-
servative men claim the election of mayor,
street superintendent and five coun-
cimen as sure shots, with chance
of making it seven for the council. Betting
is not brisk, but some bets have been made
at to | on Eaton, with more takers than
BETS Democratic money is plenty at such
odds. Even bets are plenty on the street
superintendent fight.
There will be three meetings tonight in
the interest of the Democratic ticket, the
First, Seventh and Eighth wards being in it..
In the Eighth the meeting will be in the
hands of Henry Bickel, chairman, with j. 4.
McInerny, William Rooney, Henry Olsen.
Robert ENNIS, Gustave Larsen and Joseph
Lindsay as vice presidents. The First and
Seventh ward meetings are in good hands,
and are expected to be record breakers John
Kearney will be the presiding officer in the
Seventh, and r. j. Adcock will probably be
in charge of the First.
Justice Morgan filed his bond and took
oath of office yesterday. Although num-
Der of his friends were willing to go on his
bond he had it given by one of the surety
companies, as he wished to be under no OBJ
legations.
Notwithstanding rumors to the contrary,
the position of adjutant general, will prob
ably go north. A prominent Republican
yesterday said that it would, for the reason
that none of the candidates from the south
were big enough men for the place. There
was good timber down here, however, for as
sisant adjutant general, and undoubtedly
Southern California would get the place.
