FAGER'S BIG If.
He Tells the Young Republi-
cans What Is Necessary
to Succeed.

The Republicans of the First ward held
their first ratification meeting last even
ing in the rooms of the Young Mems Re
publican Club on Gregory street. 1t was
attended by fully sixty Republicans. The
first speaker introduced was Mr.. E. w.
Woolley amid mild applause. He began
by roasting the Democratic platform and
that party's candidates, winding up by
praising the Republican party and their
candidates. He endeavored to enumerate
some good deeds performed by his party.
Then he spoke about the Shrievalty
contest. and praised Mr.. Erwin. who, he
said, is strong candidate, and one of
the best men the Republican party could
nominate The same Mr. Woolley who
spoke so nicely of Mr.. Erwin last evening
only short while ago at the convention,
whic Nominated Mr.. Erwin. used all his
influence and resorted to all kinds of
means to obtain the defeat of Mr.. Erwin,
who was not the choice of the machine.
When the speaker finished the applause
he received was very loud and he smiled
and bowed with a "How easy" express
sion up on his face.
Mr.. Mark Fagen, who wanted the nomi-
nation for Sheriff on the Republican tick
ct, was the next speaker introduced. He
was received very warmly. Mr.. Fagen
predicted that If the Republicans got out
this election and worked for the party 5
interests and in harmony, they would
meet with success. The other speakers
were Claus Basse John H. WeasteIl Geo.
E. Swain, E. s. Brown and John J. Er-
win.
Postmaster p. F. Wanser, who was also
scheduled to speak last evening at the
meeting sent a letter of regret announc-
ing that he could not be present as inn
portant business kept him away. 1t will
also be remembered that Mr.. Wanser OPP
posed the nomination of Erwin, and
that he felt very sore when the result of
the convention was made known and Mr..
Fagen was defeated

N'EWAN|TES At ODDS.
Not United in Support Of
Erwin's Candidacy.

There seems to be more or less ground
for the rumor published in THE News
yesterday concerning the disaffection
among the McEwanites over the endorse
ment of John j. Erwin for Sheriff.
The endorsement of Mr. Erwin at last
Thursday nights meeting of the central
organization of the MeEwan Association
was accomplished while but thirteen
members were present.
When this snap action was made known
to the members at large who are staunch
to McEwan there was great wonderment,
followed by greater anger.
J. D. Allen who is a member Of the
Ways and Means Committee. occupied the
exalted position of chairman of the COM
mittee which had charge of the demon
stration recently held at Greenville
schuetzen Park. in honor Of McEwan.
Altogether Mr. Allen considers himself
quite a leader in the McEwan ranks and
Thomas has hardly stauncher sup
porter.
Mr. McEwan refused to discuss the
situation, but Mr.. Allen put the case
clearly before the people. He is very Bit
ter In his talk against this action of a
bakers dozen," which, however, he de-
clares loudly docs not bind the 1000
members of the McEwan Association"
These members have always regarded
Mr. Erwin as staunch ring adherent
and they claim that In passing the reso-
luton endorsing Mr.. Erwin the McEwan
Association stultifed itself.
Thus far Mr.. Allen has confined him
self to talk, but it is not to be presumed
that he is not gentleman of action and
energy. Those who attend the meeting
of the McEwan Association will learn the
amount Of his energy tomorrow night.
Then will come the final climax and
trouble is expected.
On this occasion, Mr.. Allen declares, he
will demand that the whole proceeding
of the last meeting be rescinded, and If
it is not he will do what every good
and true McEwanite should do: leave the
association"
Certain members of the Twelfth ward
branch of the association are planning for
reception to the Republican candidates.
to be held on the evening Of october "a,
and they expect the standard bearer OF
the association to be present and make a
| speech. 1t is extremely doubtful If Erwin
ties will thus succeed in capturing the
support of the ex-Congressman. Friends
who are very close to him say positively
that the honorable Tom will not attend
any political meetings of any character
until after the next election.
Talk of harmonys There promises 10 pc
more scattered fractions and fragments
of Republicans after that meeting tomor-
row night than one can shake a stick at.

A BITTER PILL.
Grand Jury Totally Fails to
Find Election Frauds
In Hoboken.

The session of the Grand Jury yester-
day afternoon was comparatively tame.
No witnesses were called and the jurors
spent the time in counting the ballots in
the boxes from the Fourth Ward of Ho-
boken They are under the impression
that here must have been some crooked
work as nearly 1000 more votes were
cast at the spring election than at the
the previous fall. The fact that it was
the hottest Mayorality election ever held
in Hoboken apparently not taken into
consideration.
Ten boxes were counted yesterday, max
ing fifteen in all. The indications are that
the final count will not cause the indict-
ment Of anybody and that no fraud will
be discovered After the counting yester-
day the ballots were put in paper bags
and carried into County Clerk Fishers
office.
1t is not probable that any indictments
will come from the dragnet investigation
the Grand Jury is making of Hoboken
municipal affairs The Jury may con-
clude to make presentment but even
that is doubtful, as the evidence thus far
obtained is said to be mostly hearsay.
1t Is scarcely probable either that the
Grand Jury win either present or indict
in the face of an approaching election, as
men Of their calibre are not likely TO do
anything which would look like an effort
to make political capital.
The Jury will hold another session at
two P NJ tomorrow and take up jail
and bail cases. These will all be dis
posed of in order that the Hoboken in
vestigation may be resumed at the next
session after tomorrow.

Care of Growing Chicks.

The scratching season is nearly over,
and as many have a full supply of
young chicks, do not forget them.
They cannot find their living alone.
You must see that they are kept
growing from start to finish, making
STEADY progress toward maturity from
the day they leave the shell. Many
people take all kinds of pains with
chicks while they are i'm the brOOder
or with the mother hem. After that
they are allowed to rest on their own
dloppings in their brood coops for
weeks, ma yTbe a dead chick Or two,
nearly rotten, is filling their coop with
a stencil THAT would produce poison to
kill one hundred chlicks-the poison
passing through the lungs poisonin g
the blood, the effects of which would
STUNT, if not kill, the hardest chick
matched Thfs treatment should never
be allowed. Move your brood coOps
every other day at least; that is, if
your chicks roost on the ground; if ON
floors, sweep off clean and sand we'll
often. This Will keep your brood coops
smelling sweet. Be always ON the
alert for Things that are constantly
coming up in the poultry yard. If you
have one hundred chicks i'm two coOps,
reduce the flocks as they mature, Civ
ing twenty five Ito the coop. Many val
liable birds are lost annually by
smothel'ing, caused by the chicks grow
ing larger than their room will accom-
mediate.
Another most Important point is the
food pl oblem. Well dO [ remember in
my bOyhoOd days seeing mother feed
the chicks corn meal for breakfast,
dinner and supper, day after day. 1t
was simply the surviving of the fittest.
How they stood it l cannot TELL but
some pulled through, and What they
were l will leave you to judge. l feed

PuIverized charcoal and fine grit is be,
fore them, with plenty. of artesian wa
ter at all times.
These small essential Things done
systematically are not labOriOus nor do
they occupy much time. AS my chicks
mature | separate my pullets from the
cockerels and you cannot imagine how
the pullets will thrive. AIS fast as the
cOckerels mature the cJlllS are market
ed and my care and space lis given
my Show birds and breeders. These
should have all the care that you can
give to have them matured into strong
birds. Another point of Importance
to growing chicks is that proper shell
ter should always be provided for
them from the burning sun. If trees
do not abound ON their runs, erect
sheds for them. These will often prove
profitable i'm heavy rain storms, saving
