A sure THING.
Leader Davis Talks About
the Campaign for the
Mayoralty.
RTIETEsT ON RECORD

Met With Democratic
Facts and Figures.

1.-THE campaign is going along as
smoothly as could be desired said Lea
der Davis today. I'm all my experience
have never seen 50 little interest manifest
ed The Republicans apparently imagine
they are stealing march on US. We
know that they are making mail can
yass They are doing ii quietly. but we
have met that move already. There IS
absolutely nothing they can say that
will injure the chances OF Mayor ftooS.
The people have watched Mayor Hoos' ad-
ministration, and they know that he has
made the best Mayor the city has ever
had Mayor Hoos will, in my opinion,
lead his ticket. Alderman-at-Large Mid
lige is making an easy but effective hight
and / anticipate seeing him run up Wen
missioner Heintze apparently pleases the
public The record of the Commissioners
is an exemplary one. The Board OF
Works is a difficult office TO fill without
being criticised to such an extent that a
mans political future is jeopardized Mr
Heintze seems to have solved the prop
lem, however. His service IN nj that 4 !, de, e,
the estima ton of the people. Has vote
will be heavy one. and l am inclined 70
believe he will be a close second IN the
right | think. His one disadvantage IS
that he is new man. His running mares
have been tried by the. people and found
not wanting. That will be the decision
in Sullivan's case after he has. served one
term. Our candidates are all good men
men who may be trusted.
Our Aldermanic candidates are all
right and | expect to see eleven OF them
elected. The vote of the twelfth one,.
down in the Eighth ward, will be some
thing to astound the Republicans. I have
looked over the situation carefully and
can see nothing less than 5000 for Mayor
Hoos. 1t is all over but the shoutlnS
now. Next Tuesday will tell the tale.
Victory will perch on Democracy's ban.
ner and we will have continuance OF
good, honest, economical, busipess-llke
administration.
4 hope every Democrat will turn out
and do his duty. If that is done there
will be no doubt about the result.

for at least a year to come. AT the am

nine O'Clock last evening in the vestry
room, Mr.. Elmendorf was successful in
having nine vestrymen and two wardens
elected who have pledged themselves 70
stand by him through thick and thin.
The election was unusual in only one
respect. That was that a number OF
women who have upheld the rector
through the recent disturbances in the
church, brought about by the r1tuaiiStlc
tendencies of Mr.. Elmendorf, MADE a
canvass for votes through the parish

WANTED TO BE ARRESTED.
Grunwa1d Charged Himself With
Carrying Concealed Weapons.

Adolph Grunwald. a rather bright look
ing young man, of No. 50 Giles avenue,
is locked up in the Oakland avenue police
station in default of the payment of
$40 fine imposed in the Second Criminal
Court this morning for carrying conceal
ed weapons. Despite his bright looks
Greenwala acted queerly.
He approached a policeman about mid
night last night and asked him what
would the authorities do with him if they
knew he carried a revolver. The police
man told him he would be fined $40.
"But suppose l didn't have the money,
what would they do with me?" he asked.
Send you up, for sixty days and up
ward" replied the policeman.
Well then / want to be arrested.
Here's my gum.
The policeman took him in. He says
that Grunwald said in going to the sta
ton house that he wanted to go to Snake
Hill and study the crooks so that he
might become a detective. Grunwald
denies this.

Thomas ]. Mitchell has been named for
Alderman by the Second ward Republi-
between the stock yards and the foot of
Pavonia avenue. The ferry consisted
of one very treacherous rowboat. His
duties as ferrymaster, it is said, once
caused him to be prostrated. The men
tai strain was too great for him.
There was one time a Thomas Mitchell
who rowed boat from the stock yards
to the Pavonia ferry. He aspired to be
prize fighter until some clever pugilists
punched some sense into his head.
Candidate Mitchell is out denying that
he ever was the prize fighter man." He
is No. on the list of constant repudi-
ators Of loathsome names.

Brennan's Mistake Made Trouble
For Watson.

Watson, the Republican party's Mayor
atty candidate. is still in Florida. He will
not be back until Saturday. He has never
entertained the slightest idea of winning.
Efforts of Republican henchmen to extort
money from him have been of no avail.
When Watson returns he will be be-
sieg by the Republican shouters and inn
plored to go out and explain that he is
the real thing and not George Watson as
Fire Commissioner John Brennan led the
Republican convention to believe.
The fact that Breenan made such a mis-
take proves conclnsively that Sam Dick
inson made the nomination without even
consulting those lieutenants he manages
to keep in office against the wishes Of the
OeODle
