the city's chief executive. or because
he is a representative citizen who has
never sought public honor or compen-
sation. No. not at ALL but because
they want to get him out Of the way
so they will have a clear path toward
selfish ends. Kiefer, without job

from poundmaSter to United States
. senator, and because these men who
! try to make you believe he will be u
I good mayer, want him out of the way,
\ they hope to fool you into voting for
him.
[ "Can such a man, with such claims
I for support. compare in any sense with
the honest, straightforward, unselfish
nominee Of the Democrat-Citizens'
party? Not a man seeking the office,
but man sought by the office"
In concluding. Mr.. Townley impress
ed upon the voters the necessity Of
making a clean sweep and casting their
ballots for the entire Democrat-Citi-
gems ticket.
John Ives confined his attention
I largely to Mr.. McCardy and shattered
the Republican claims of the watch

\ I'VE want a watch dog" said Mr.
Ives, that will protect its masters
( property alike from friend and strang-

the masters friend goes by so that the
friend can steal a pair of chickens"
Louis Nash dissected the Republican
platform and declared that 1t did not
contain a single sensible or honest
declaration. Men nominated on a plat
form meaning so little" declared Mr..
Nash, have no right to ask for your
votes, no matter how good they may
be personally.
1.-THE Republican platform pledges
the party to the best interests Of the
city. Is the open collision of the police
department with the keeper of that no.
torious resort, "Reddy' Griffin, sub
serving the best interests of the city ?
And one plank of this platform reads,
We point with pride to the record of
: the last two years."
Mr.. Nash contrasted the Democrat
4 Citizens platform with the alleged plat
form which he so thoroughly riddled
and ELECTED the most enthusiastic ap-
plause as the audience emphasized
4 every point made.
There has never been a public en-
tEprise started in this city," said DR..
A. ]. Stone, that DR.. Rudolph Schiff-
SlSCh has LOl gone TO dlu the
movement. He has ever been interest
ed in the public good and the advance
ment Of st. Paul's welfare" In COM
/ parison with this undlspured record let
me ask you if Mr.. Kiefer has ever Civ
en- one cent or one minute Of his time
that he was not paid for to advance
any Of tie many enterprises undertaken
by our citizens? l defy him to show
one single instance
n Compare the records of the two men
4 when you are to cast your ballots and
vote for the man who has proved his
loyalty to your city. the man who has
Il never sought or received a public office
or emolument. A choice between two
such men is not difficult and the great
. majority of the voters have already
made their selection, and when the
votes are counted 1t will show DR.
!. Rudolph Schiffmann to have been the
choice"
II, John O'Toole was introduced as g
! representative of the laboring people
He said Erwin was not factor in the
Tnayorality race and emphatically
denied a statement made at the Erwin
meeting in Market hall last Thursday
n night that Erwin was the candidate Of
organized labor.
"Mr. Erwin has tried every effort tt
secure the Endorsement of organized
labor" said Mr.. O'Toole "but there 1:
not one labor organization in the city
that has Endorsed his candidacy. Thi.
being the case, how can he be labor:
choice?
''The ballot for the laboring man tt
vote is the one offered by the Demo
crat-Citizen party. This party ha.
recognized the laboring man on n,
ticket and has inculcated those prin.
csples in its platform which will bet
$ ter the condition Of the laborine
classes"
Richard McNamee, as the last speak
er of the evening, made but a brie
address, in which he advised eyer,
/ working man and friend of organize;
labor. to vote the Democratic itIzer
ticket from toY to bottom.
