clerk attached 10 the Democratic State
Committee went To the park offices ana
asked 20 see the books. Mr.. Schubert
knew what he was after and was ready
for him. The secretary furnished the
politician with the information request
cd. ana also handed him n few memo
randa of the ante-clectlon pay rolls OF
the board when Altgcld was Governor.
In 1894 the September pay roll amount
I'll TO Sl7,SSl and the October pay roll
jumped to 100000. According to the
books 700 extra men were put to work
in those two months. In 1896 the Sep
TENDER pay roll was 2502l ana the De-
tObcr pay roll $?6.3i6. The reason the
~ pay roll showed the larger increase
Is because u certain Democratic Sen
ator was then running for reelection.
This year only 165 extra men have been
p,it 10 work, which Is regarded u small
number when the extensive improve
ments like the Humboldt Park sewer
and Douglas boulevard are considered.
The Democratic emissary pOcketed the
bitter and the sweet information, and
now the Republicans are wondering II
iholr enemies will open fire.

Very little has been said about the
candidacy of Robert Redlield in the
Fifth District, because he Is supposed
10 be safely elected, being n minority
candidate The fact OF the matter is,
that Reddeld should have great credit
for the work he Is doing. lie was born
in the district and Is making special
canvass among his friends for the
county ticket. Rcdheld'S campaign
means M least 900 more votes for
