SNIPING.

The report that the purpose of the So
notation of assessments from the city
engineers office was to insure the cleo
ton of Sam Lowenstein's protege in the
Third ward was untrue. The Republicans
nave given up, hope of beating Andrew
Dahlquist. ~
1t seems as hard for the Republicans
TO agree on plurality for their candi-
dates as to pronounce a Boer name twice
the same way.
The cycle paths were run over by cows
and wagons during Republican admins
tration A bas Getchellism.
The day was long, the night was drear,
The figures blue from far and near,
But what cared Chester for returns?

For once the First ward Republicans
are scared. Honest, earnest, reliable
Charles Ferrier's canvass has been very
effective, and the exposure of the plot
to destroy the Democracy by foul nenas
has found, as it deserved, the contempt
of the honest voters of the ward that ad-
joins Lake Phalen.
Did the Republican city committee send
those chaps around the barber shops
Saturday night making bluffs about any
part of $50 on Chester? One of them was
called" In a Fourth street shop, and
he wilted like a hot collar at a Fourth of

ers-Picha-Petersen canvassing tour did
not net the amount 1t was expected to.

with fine Whit-comb.
A man whose neighbors cannot stand
for him should not have the effrontery
ito ask the citizens to do so. ''Chet''
Smith failed of an election in his home
precinct to his own convention. The men
who turned him down then were the ones

McCardy cannot carry his own pre-
'cinct, either.
| Otto Bremen is not as well known on

President Lowry's private car was side
tracked on Cedar street for several hours

! the interurban express 15-cent interurban
fare ordinance ever comes before Ches-

it before the ink IS dry.
Isn't 1t strange that Dar Reese Is not
shooting off any of his young Napoleon
speeches In behalf of Chester Smith and
| Harry Drake? Who was that great gen

battle was raging? There may be a shell
! or a. skillet, or something take the tor

/ a political campfire.
Charles Kartaks election as alderman
from the Second ward is absolutely sure
Republicans are supporting him, not only
because of his personal popularity. but
because they want to show their re-
| joicing at the political overthrow Of the
| veteran Tmeddler, Patrick D. Scannell
whose political obituary was written re-
Gently by the district court.

isn't it too bad that neither Ike Lederer
nor Conde Hamlfne is going to be may.
! or de faeto? One or the other would be
touching the button all the time If Chet
Smith were elected

addition to the regular performance, a
vaudeville programme of entertaining fea-
lures the personnel of which will be an

running against Murphy, but they will
all be laid lowa As a matter of truth
