POLLIES GIVE FAY
THE HORSE LAUGH

General dissatisfaction has been caused
in the Democratic ranks by an attempt
on the part of Charlie Fay, acting pre-
sumably for his Honor the Mayor, to in
duce the leaders of the different clubs
throughout the city to submit 10 him a
list of the names of the delegates whom
they intend nominating for the coming
primary election.
A roar has gone forth throughout the
different precinct clubs in nearly every
district and it is safe to say that few
clubs have complied with Fay's re-
quest.
Several prominent politicians were sent
for bv Fay and he informed them that 1T
was the wish of the Mayor 10 peruse the
names of the candidates and advise with
them as to the candidates best fitted TO
serve the interests of the party and incl
dentally his own.
In most cases the request was met with
a fiat refusal. but there were some who
complied with the Mayors wishes and
Mr. Fay's request. The matter has caused
considerable hubbub in political circles,
and Fay is being severely criticised.
Whether or not the leaders of the clubs
will ultimately deliver themselves over
to Fay is a matter for conjecture, but
it is certain that the request has caused
some soreness and many laughs at the
expense of Fay.

well staged and the scene on the summit

worth seeing. and Lewis Morrison's fare
