Tall Pine-AnthOnyY OerE Learns
Facts About School Finances.
The Scannell Republicans will make
a campaign that will be unique In this
part of the country. Mr.. Erwin pro-
poses to follow the example of his great
prototype. Mr.. Coxey, Of Ohio, and
make circus of his candidacy.
Coxey used circus tent for his cam
paign. Mr.. Erwin is more modest and
he will do his talking out of an ex-
press wagon adapted for the purpose.
The wagon will be decorated with ban
ners calculated to distract attention
from the $4,000 fee that Mr.. Erwin in
sisted should be paid him before he
would leave the city for the Homestead
trial. 1t will be driven about the city
by a horny-handed jawsmith and
wherever there is a number of people
gathered on the street corner the
apostle of liberty will make a speech
about the decadence of humanity.
In other respects the campaign will
be on the CoXey order, except that the
good roads feature which was pre-
eminent in the CoXey circus will be
eliminated in this one. to the end that
Mr.. Kaldunski, Of the Eighth ward,
may not be interferred with.
Anthony Yoerg Is doing some figuring
on the administration of the finances
OF the city, and has already discovered
that the present conServators of the
school finances are $50, 900 short Of the
money needed to keep the schools open
all the year. He says that a PROPOSE
ton recently made by a member Of the
board to close the schools this spring or
insist on having more means for run
ming them was suppressed until after
the campaign; that the schools will be
run during the spring term and closed
in the fall, when the $4J,U00 deficit that
is now unavoidable becomes tangible.
The claim Of Mr.. McCardy that the
delinquent taxes will make the school
appropriation whole is absurd, for a
glance at the tax collections for years
shows that the payment of arrears has
never equalled the delinqueneies of the
current year.
The mass meeting that will be held at Mar
ket hall tonight. for the purpose of filling up
the petitions Of the candidates on the Demo-
crat-Citizens ticket should call out the largest
attendance OF any political meeting that has
been held this year. The meeting has been
called so.eiy to expedite the matter OF getting
names, but it Is probable that it will go
further than that and Will resolve itself into
ratification meeting.
The city committee has purposely refrain
ed from arranging ward meetings for this
evening to the end that every one may at
tend at Market hail. There will be q num-
Der OF speakers in attendance.
The first Of a series of meetings that will
be held every evening until May 2 will take
place at Twin City hall, University and Rice
street, Thursday evening. 1t is proposed to
make these meetings the important events
OF the campaign and the best speakers and
most prominent CT the candidates will be in
attendance at each of them. The Ninth
ward meeting. scheduled for Thursday, will
be addressed by DR.. Schiffmann. Judge Willis.
Pierce Butler d. F. PEBBLES and F. L. Nc
Chez 1t will be properly the opening of the
platform campaign.

was nominated he took contract to get a
Hebrew Endorsement for him. Now this has
failed. and Tankenoff and Shapiro point to
him as man without party.
There was no contest in the election of off,

Zion which was held Sunday. The officers
who had been prominent in the Endorsement

to take it off Sodinis hands.
