IDENTIFY farther of the thought with the per.
sons who started the story. His ideaas OF
his chances are given in his speech before
the city committee.
In the First ward, Collette, Democrat,
and Riley, Peoples party, will split the
Union vote as against the Republican. All
efforts to arrange matters in the ward failed,
and the failure is openly charged to Mr..
Riley's employer, Republican, who is run
ming for council in another ward. As the
employer could not be seen yesterday, it
would be unfair to give the story without
his side of it, but if the matter stands as the
Populists say, Mr.. Riley told them it did
a day or two ago, the chances are that the
employer of Mr.. Riley will hear more of his
action during the campaign, as the work
ngmen are angry over the position he is al
legged to have taken, regardless of Mr.. Riley's
rights to the nomination.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETS.
DR.. Edelman, chairman of the Democratic
city central committee, met with that body
as its presiding officer for the first time last
night. The meeting was a welcome surprise
to the chairman, and everybody else, both
in point of numbers and in enthusiasm. The
Democrats seem to have found out "who
threw that brick" and have apparently
started after him in Los Angeles with the
intention of returning the compliment.
DR.. Edelman made a brief but very
plain-in fact, extremely plain-talE to the
committeeman in opening the meeting.
After telling the Democratic committee
men what was expected of them in general
way, he said: I'VE must make another poll
of this city, for not everybody who voted for
Henry Gage will vote for Fred Eaton, not
by many hundreds. After we have rel -polled
the city the next thing is to get out the vote;
all OF it. In order to do this we must see
that every Democrat is registered before
next Saturday. These men registered; see
that they vote"
The lack of money and the need of Ger
tain kinds of special work was commented
upon, and then DR.. Edelman said: Il have
been told that there are men on this COM
mittee who have said they intended to work
against the city ticket. | hope that state
men is untrue. but if there is committee
man on this committee who intends to work
against the ticket let him send in his res
ignation at once. We won't stand it. We
have chance to win. and if we are to have
tidilois " Try anu ueicdt us lei DIS kiUN
them now. ct us know where every man on
this committee stands"
NEUHART'S MOTION
Dan Neuhapt, secretary O the Democratic
county committee, at once moved that ANY
committeeman found working against the
city ticket be at once removed by the eNecu-
tive committe OF the city central commit
tee and that body be empowered to ill such
vacancies if any occur"
Il make this notion said Neuhart. "be-
cause | agree with the chairman, for know
that there were members oil this committee
who openly worked against the state and
county ticket last Tuesday. | want such
men placed where they belong"
Everyone present seemed desirious OF GO
ing on record in support of Neuhart's mo-
ton, and after little argument the roll
was called and the tifty-two members pres
ent voted in favor q it to a man. The
absent committeeman will be given a chance
to go on record in the matter. if they so
desire.
