Other Wards.

The Banner Democratic club Of the
Eighth ward met last evening at
BrandIs hall and listened to speeches
by r. N. Hare, A. N. Craighead and E.
c. Ives.
Mr.. Hare said the voters Of the
Eighth ward as we'll as other wards
were ready for a change in the ad-
ministration Of the affairs of the city.
The approaching campaign was not to
be run in the interest of any one man
or set of men, but in the interest Of the
people. The people were to do the
selecting and all that was necessary
was for the members Of the Democratic
party to stand together, nominate men
for whom no excuses would have to be
made and the entire ticket would be
elected.
The present mayor had been dismal
failure and was not even popular with
the members of his own party. What
was needed was honest and competent
men placed on the ticket. a united front
of all the voters and the victory was
certain.
Mr.. Craighead was positive that
every voter in the city, and more es-
pec1ally the Democratic voters, were IN
favor of better government. He ad-
Vlsed the selection of good men, not
only for mayor, but for members of the
council. Men, he said, who could not
be bought by the street railway or
other corporations, but men who would
administer the affairs of the city for
all and every class of the people.
The coming campaign was only the
slSirmish Of the greater battle to be
fought in the fall, and the effect of the
election in st. Paul would have much
to do with the result next fall. He
advised that candidates be selected who
would harmonic the party and also
bring to the ticket the votes of those
VINO two years ago had not cast their
votes for the Democratic candidates.
Mr.. Ives said the fight was a local
one and national issues should be lost
sight Of and if the party was to win
common sense and judgment should be
USED In making up the ticket.
The present mayor who was certain
to be renominated was not even popu-
lar with his own party. During the
two years he had been at the head of
city affairs his sole aim had been to
arrange things in order to bring about
his denomination. His appointments
had been far from first-class, and re-
Gently he had appointed as a member
OF the board Of education a man whose
name, two years ago, had been a jest
before the public.
All that was needed was to select a
competent man of good moral standing,
