The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-11-06

committee is determined that it shall
remain so. Personally the republicans
| like James f. Ryan, but they say it
would be too bad to take him away from
his law practice by sending him to the
| legislature. The fight in this ward is SO
hot that confident as the republicans
are of victory, there will be no let-up in
the work being put in, up to the last
| minute.
| The republicans see a chance to win
out in ward 8 also. There is a four-cor
| nered fight in this ward. w. l. Nc
Loughlin, the regular democratic candi-
date, is being opposed by Peter F, Sui
! Ivan, and the socialists have a candi-
date in Dennis Doyle. The standard
| bearer of the republicans is Eleazer
! Desmarteau, and it is figured out that
| if the republicans stand back of him.
| the division of the democratic vote be-
| tween Mclaughlin, Sullivan and Doyle
will result in the
ELECTION OF DESMARTEAU.
The republican city committee wishes
| the voters to be sure and go to the
polls. The fact that Crane and Bates
are to bury Paine and Mack, may cause
some men to fail to vote, and this pro-
ceeding, it is pointed out, is likely to
| hurt candidates for other Offices, par
ticularly the legislative candidates in
wards and 5. Close watch will be
kept on the check lists and every voter
of republican inclinations in wards 8
and that does not come around vol
| UNFAIRLY is likely to find a hack chas-
| ing him up.
| There are some changes this year in
| the voting places. Precinct 3, ward 2,
| this year, instead of being at Belmont
street school house, as usual, will be
H. ,ha1~ Il on
Lincoln street; precinct 8, ward l, will
| be on Elm park, near the fair grounds.
precinct 8, ward 8, will be in the East
| Worcester school house; precinct a,
ward 8, will be at As Grafton street;
precinct 4, ward 4, will be at 113 Ward
| street; precinct 4, ward 5, will be at $40
| Millbury street; in ward 6, Freeland
| street school has been abandoned as a
polling place, in favor of the drug store,
1855 Main street, which is more central
] ly situated; precinct l. ward g. will be
at 81 Pleasant street.
The republican city committee is to
have meeting tonight, when final ar
rangements are to be made for the
election Chairman Partridge wishes
every member to be present.
The feeling
THROUGHOUT THE STATE
is about the same as it is in Worces-
| ter. The democrats are maintaining
a gigantic bluff, although they know
there is no more chance Of Paine and
Mack winning out than there is of Pc
land being returned to the map of en-
| pire.
In a statement for the press, Col. A
H. Goetting of the republican state cen
trail committee says that the democratic
vote comes out rain or shine, and he
cautions the republicans against stay
ing away from the polls. A large part
of the republican vote is miles away
from the polling places, and this makes
the weather a great factor. Wet
weather always tends to lessen the re-
| publican vote. He takes no stock in
the reports that anti-imperialism is go
ing to injure the republican party. Sen
ator Hoar, one of the stanchest of the
men that oppose the spread of empire,
is standing Loyalty by the party, and
his example is more apt to be followed
by the rank and file of the party than
that of the Bradfords, Atkinsons and
other little fellows who would make
the United States hermit nation such
| as Morocco now is.
