The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-10-12

matter personal, and we will show
Arostn that he laid the way for his
own defeat when he forced John Jack
son out. I'm not q member of the
board now, and never held any po-
htical office, but am interested enough
in this affair and in the welfare of the
city to do the best I can to keep a man
who showed the disposition that Arosin
showed out OF an office where he might
do more real harm"
There is a general kick by all par
Ties against city and county employees
being appointed as judges and clerks
of election, particularly in the Fifth
ward. In the Twelfth precinct of the
Fifth ward Street Foreman Sladek,
who runs a grocery store In connec-
ton with his duties as street foreman
Is named as an election Judge. In the
Seventh precinct Henry Mandehr. who
conducts a cigar factory at the Seven
corners and who Is also employed in
the health department to inspect gar
page, at a salary Of $50 per month, but
who devotes most of his time, 1t is
SAID, to canvassing for his cigars and
polltlcs, is named as q Judge Of cleo
ton. 1t is contended and justly, too
that no city or county emp1oye should
be permitted to draw double pay from
the city, when SO many men are idle
and only too anxious to be appointed
to these positions. Engineer Rundlett
and Health Commissioner Stone and
other city officers should make a note
of this, and not permit their depart
ments to be run in the interest Of any
particular party, or the city council
will be called on to do so.
A peculiar way Of catching votes was
inaugurated two years ago in the
Ia T
Barta'S particular friends. Instead of
purchasing the flowing lager and send
Ing 1t around to the various precincts,
as is the custom in this ward, they
sent around buckwheat in ten-pound
bags. Barta's friends will have to pro-
duce something more substantial this
time in order to defeat John Ives.
Barta is known now as Buckwheat
Barta, Of the Fifth.
1t is currently reported that Secre-
tary Selb's record in connection with
the Seven corners band has been sent
to Washington. Why not send Parker's,
too?
The men in the Omaha shops will OPP
pose Thauwald almost to a man. They
claim, and 1t is backed up by facts,
that he was instrumental in defeating
y
ago.
j. Watson Smith and a few others of
the opulent candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket, are putting up for a blow
out of the ward and precinct organiza-
tons of the county Republican party
tonight at Mozart hall The Smith
campaign is so fast and so we'll sup
piled with funds that he had a band
q Third ~d mo
run by Sam Lowenstein Monday night,
and he will have another band out to-
night-this in spite of the fact that
the meeting is to be held outside of the
district in which he is a candidate.
The Republican county committee
has given 1t out that the members are
supposed to confine their attentions to
the county campaign and let Stevens
take care Of his own affairs. The con-
sequence is that Mr.. Stevens and J.
Watson Smith have Joined forces and
Stevens and Smith are running a cam
paign of their own. The action Of the
county committee was taken in con-
sequence Of the state central commit
tee taking in hand the work Of pro-
viding the spellbinders for the local
campaign in order that their work
should not be handicapped by the
uniting Of their candidates with the
congressional candidate In the district.
j. H. Meade, the Democratic candi-
date for clerk Of the courts, has been
assured by more than nine tenths of
the members of the local bar Of their
support in the campaign and has let
ters from almost all of these commit
ting themselves not only to support
MIN, but to lake the stump If neces-
sary.
