ether wards do not count; Phil Justus
must be good little boy, keep his mouth
shut and follow orders
That's the way the Eighth ward Repub-
1cans look at 1t and their sublime gall,
astonishing fighting qualities, pugilistic
linguistic abilities, and, above all, con-
fidence, is taking the breath away fronl
the rest" who are unfortunate to i've
IN other wards.
The Eighth Warders held meeting
last night at Eureka hall, University and
Western avenues. All the precinct COM
mitteemen were on hand, and a G | b o
reporter who wasn't noticed.
The meeting last night was very Babe
lesque and-well after a while q little
order was brougt out of chaos and eight
candidates were Endorsed. The Eighth
warders say they don't want mucll-o1Ily
everything Phil Justus has got to give.
Following are the men who received en-
dorsement: M. T. HaIIowelI, w. B.
Boyd, Henry Lang, H. Mantueffell, Geo.
G. Rehm, Albert Hoffman, Frank Eubank
and D. c. Campbell.
S. B. Carter was chairman for the even
ing and F. W. Boyer secretary. They
are probably ready to throw up their
jobs now, for things got SO twisted that
1T was almost impossible to find out
where they were at.
STARTING THE BALL
Peter Zimmerman, who was candidate
for alderman last spring, was the first
to mix up" Somebody had made
motion, at the end Of a long, heated dis
cussson, that the committeeman either
1ndorse or not indorse all Of the can
d1dates. Zimmerman stood up and made
another motion to the effect that they
1ndorse the candidates who Wire mon
toned in the papers last week. Then
another man made a motion that it first
be found out who the candidates We're.
Two or three other motions that didnt
mean anything followed. Zimmerman
then hollered, question" and "the mo-
ton" was put and carried. Which mo-
ton? One claimed the first, another the
second, a third the last, and SO. Just
about this time the mix up was at it's
height and a person couldn't hear him
self think.
ST say it was the first motion" said
one man.
20 forget it; I know better-ft was the
second" answered secretary Boyer.
We'll, let's commence all over again."
from Chairman Carter; Tets please
everybody
'I make motion that we don't in
dorse anybody" came piping little
voice
What's the use of having candidates
If we don't indorse them?''
Whats the use Of fndorsing when we
don't have top
You're a Democrat"
'Aint neither
Say, I want a little chance to talk
myself" cries Zimmerman: what's the
use of trying to BULLDOG us?"
That's right; don't let them bluff you;
jab away
1t finally came Zimmermans way.
81 say" he cried; ST make a motion
that we sponge the slate and commence
again"
ENDORSED ALL OF THEM
His motion was carried and then he
made one to have all of the candidates
indorsed. After another wordy war,
they were Endorsed.
What candidates?" from the crowd.
This was a sttcker so a motion was
made to make nominations This was
done and carried out. Then another
motion to indorse the candidates was
passed
Alex Nicoll was next fndorsed for the
position of engineer at the state capital
and August Boyer for janitor or some
other position in the building.
Louis NOrmandin stood up and appealed
to the precinct committee men to have
them indorse him for any position, ap-
pointive or elective. He wanted a com
m1tte6 to wait on a. X. McGill and ar
range for his political future. 1t was
agreed to appoint a committee and Nor
mandfn was happy.
Next in order was the passage of some
pointed resolutions which speak for
themselves. They are as follows:
WANT CONROY'S SCALP.
''To the Honorable Judges of the Mu-
nicipal Court:
I'VE, the members of the Eighth ward
Republican organization, believing in
rewarding only loyal Republicans in the
distribution of official patronage, no
tice with regret your action in retain
ing as clerk of your court Thomas F.
Conroy, who is not now and never has
been loyal to the Republican party and
its principles and who, by the repeated
acts of hostility and opposition to our
candidates, Justly merits the disapprov-
al of all good Republicans.
eve, therefore, the officers and members
of this organization earnestly request
that you now dismiss Mr.. Conroy from
this position and fill his place with some
good, clean, honest and competent Repub-
lican such as may easily be found among
those who have at all times earnestly
and Loyalty supported the entire Repubi-
action on your part will be of great ben
eft to our party in future campaigns
and will allay in q great measure the dis
satisfaction which now exists among the
rank and file of the party owing to Is
mans retention in Office. Respectfully
submitted.
