ITS astonishing" said an elderly
gentleman, who declared that he was a
Republican and had always been orc,
yesterday afternoon, "hOW things have
changed politically in st. Paul in the
last ten years.
1T used to be that the Republicans
had to go around and force men to run
for mayor. Now it looks as though
some half a dozen candidates would
have to be forced to quit running
Over forty residents of the Sixth

NJ w Fitzgerald and NJ. J. Costello
We're conversing together last Saturday
afternoon in the Washburn building,
when Edward Feldhauser, one of the
Republican candidates for mayor, APP
preached them.
Mr. Fitzgerald, after greeting Mr..
Feldhauser, introduced him to Mr.. Ccs-
tello. AS the two grasped hands, Mr..
Feldhauser remarked:
81 am pleased to meet you. Mr.. Cos
telio. L knew your father quite well"
All" reJOined Mr. Costello, lis that
so? 1t is indeed a rare pleasure to
meet an acquaintance of my father in
these parts.
You see," explained Mr. Costello to
Mr.. Fitzgerald. my father was born
in the county of Galway, Ireland,
where he lived and died"
Mr.. Feldhauser looked somewhat en-

the exception of the mayor and comp
troller, are opposed to the new charter.
Those drawing salaries from the city
have not until the past few days paid
much attention to the charter. Since
the adoption of the salary chapter the
howl has commenced
To man the employees Of the city are
against the adoption Of the new chap
ter. All kinds of arguments are used
to show that the salaries as fixed are
too low.
On the other hand those who have
been disappointed in securing city po-
sitions and the average workingman,
are inclined to the opinion that the
salary chapter of the new charter will
be the one thing that will secure it's
passage.
One of the features of the coming
campaign will be the fight made es-
pecially by those in city positions to
prevent the adoption of the new char
ter.

The committee from the peace con-
ference of the Bimetallic union report
ed that conference committee from
the silver Republicans and Peoples
party would meet with a conference
committee from the Democrat-Citi-
Zens' convention the day on which the

ties by placing on the Democrat-Citi-
Zens' ticket candidates which will be
acceptable to all of them.
One Of the members of the commit

phase Of the proposed unification of the
reform forces, said:
There is no use in beating about
the bush and talking unity and har-
mony without distributing some of the
loaves and fishes in the shape of Offices

stands for better city government,
lists and silver Republicans by placing
on it's ticket several candidates recon-
