ALARM IN WARD FOUR.
Friends of Bousquet Fear Their Man
Will Be Out in Ward Seven.

WIN DC N(uI IN WdrQ OSNen.
Rumors to the effect that w, Levi
Bousquet, a republican candidate for
alderman, would be cut by voters in
ward Z on election day have spread
without seeming foundation, Leaders
in the ward say that talk of repub-
licans going back on nominees of the
party is mere imagination on the part
of few men who think they have a
grievance. There are plenty of men in
the ward who think they have been
sighted so far as getting an alderman
for several years past. but there is no
general feeling of revenge,
The report that the candidate from
ward 4 was to be selected for slaughter
some of the friends of Bousquet never
theless, and yesterday George Bou-
chard made the following statement of
the conditions in the case:
Being informed that there is a ru-
NOR afloat that there was an under
standing entered into with the ward
delegation to the municipal convention,
whereby the ward men were to cast
their votes for the ward man, and
that the ward 4 men did not live up to
their agreement. and that in conse-
quence of this Mr.. Bousquet is to suf-
fer the loss of some republican votes
in ward 7, I wish to state that there
was no deal or understanding of any
kind whatever; that our vote was not
solicited by any one, except after the
first ballot, and then only one of our
men was spoken to by a man from
ward Z Under the circumstances the
ward 4 delegates did the best they
knew how, and l do not really believe
I
but that the blame should be placed
on some delegates other than those
from ward I. This the ward delegates
know for a fact"

Il am a teetotaler, but l do not be-
lieve in the farce which would prevail
under no-license.
From moral standpoint, l
believe in no-license, but as l am con-
WINGED that it is not practical in this
or any other city, 1 am out for license
and am eager to go on record as a Ii
cense man. A prohibitory law that
would prohibit would find me an
anxious worker in the no-license ranks,
but as it is, l must repeat, l am a Ii
cense man through and through, and
do not relish the statement made in the
