ELECT DR.. Schiffmann and that, will
be done, concluded Mr.. PEBBLES
Pierce Butler was the next speaker.
He was greeted with cheers. Mr. But
Ter said the Second ward had done it's
duty in the past, and he believed its
voice would be heard for the right
on May 3 next.
st Paul should be, and 1 believe is,
proud Of her Democratic adminisara-
tions,' said Mr.. Butler. ION the other
hand, there has never been a Republic
can administration that cared after
ward to discuss it's record
Mr.. Butler spoke of the reign of ter
ror under Republican rule in st. Paul
of the inefficiency of the police, of the
poor administration Of city affairs I'M
der the Doran regime.
Mr.. Butler gave the office holding
record of Col Kiefer from wharfmas-
ter up: Col. Kiefer wanted to be mayor
for the good it would do Col. Kiefer.
He spoke Of Col. Kiefer's insurance
scheme to guarantee farmers against
the effects Of hail storms.
The first storm caused Col. Kiefer's
company to collapse" said Mr. Butler.
All that had been heard of Col. Kie-
fer the first time he was in congress
was when he got lost in: the basement
or the national capitol.
Mr.. Butler concluded by paying a
glowing tribute to the peoples choice
for chief executive of the city Of St.
Paul.
DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann. "Elect him."
said Mr.. Butler, land he will give you
an administration that will rebound to
the credit of the city, the party and
DR.. Schiffmann."
Before retiring Mr.. Butler said that
Anthony Yoerg would be the next
comptroller Of ST. Paul, and would fill
the office acceptably to all. He hoped
the entire ticket would be elected for
the good of st. Paul. "And don't for
get Dick McNamee."
Mr.. Butler wanted voters to consider
the council ticket. The people of st.
Paul don't want all their streets given
away to street car companies. To pre-
vent such a result the present council
must be ousted. The Democrat iti-
zens had nominated nine of the best
men to be found in the city and if the
people wanted reform they would get
it by casting their votes for those men,
Conrad w. Miller, ex-city treasurer,
said he considered it scarcely necessary
to recount the many good traits of
DR.. Schiffmann, for all good citizens
of ST. Paul knew his worth. The Sec
ond ward should give DR.. Schiffmann
big majority.
'Now as to Anthony Yoerg," said
Mr.. Miller, "the opposition is claiming
that his education is not up to the
standard for comptroller. Why, that is
laughable," said Mr.. Miller, who then
recounted in detail the thorough course
of training Mr.. Yoerg had taken to fit
himself for business. His acquire
ments are so far in advance of Nc
Cardy's that there is no comparison"
Mr.. Miller said that when he became
city treasurer he found some discrep-
ancies, to which he called the atten-
ton OF Mr.. McCardy.
you said the people should know
such things" said Mr.. Miller to the
comptroller.
"'Oh, that was before the election,
was the reply Of Mr.. McCardy," said
Mr.. Miller. That was to get in. We
are here now, and let us stay'-and,"
concluded Mr.. Miller, 81 challenge Mr..
McCardy to deny this
Mr.. Miller arraigned the administra-
ton of Comptroller McCardy and made
telling hits against the misadministra-
ton of the Republican party in St.
Paul. Mr.. Miller concluded by saying
that Mr.. McNamee would make a
splendid treasurer. No man should
vote for the Republican candidate,
against whom there was suit now
pending for risking taxpayers money
without taking bond.
A. B. Ovitt, candidate for the as
sembly, was greeted as "the cyclists
candidate" The members of the Cap
ital City Cycle club arose and gave
their club cry for Ovitt.
Il am proud to be designated the rep
reseatative OF the cyclists" said Mr..
