POLITICAL POINTERS
There was an enthusiastic meeting at tn,
Hickory club last night, +. w. Allender ant
B. E. Vickery being the principal speakers
| At the meeting of the Democratic execu
tive committee last night, there was a full
attendance, every one being most enthusi
astic concerning the progress of the campaign
and its triumphant issue.
In an interview last night DR.. Edelman
said that, so far as the Democrats are con
cerned, there is no trading going on in the
interest of any one candidate. The Demo-
Gratis are positive that they will elect the
mayor and majority of the council.
The report that Mike Collins, or any
body else, is slated for chief of police in
case the council is Democratic is entirely
without foundation. The question has not
even been considered up to date, nor is 1t
likely to be, as the councilmen nominated
have been left entirely unpledged in any
matter but their party platform.
Two Democratic meetings will be held
tonight A joint meeting of the Fourth
Fifth and Sixth wards, at Washington gar
dens, corner of Main and Washington
streets. and a meeting from the wagon, in
the Eighth ward, corner of First and Los
Angeles streets. At the Washington gar
dens Allender, Snyder, Dockweler Walker,
Hance, Dahl. Huber, Pessell and Wyhe will
speak, while in the Eighth ward Rogers, Kol-
ster, Wright, Winans, Harlan, Todd and
Ramish will entertain the audience
Only one Republican meeting will be held,
at Foresters hall, by the Scandinavian club
1t was rumored on the street yesterday
that betting was 10 to s on Eaton's being the
next mayor. Yesterday, at the Nadeau
cigar stand, $500 was offered against 1915
that Eaton would be the next mayor. Sew
