to whether the convention should relin-
quish its right to have a democratic
ticket in the field and allow this ticket
to go on as an independent citizens
ticket, but the large majority seemed
to be in favor of so doing. When the
motion was put to adopt the nomina tions
and report of the conference committee
for non-partisan ticket, it was adopted
without opposition.
Mr. Bird, the candidate for. mayor
was called upon for speech. He said
that he was glad, not for receiving the
nomination. but for the spirit of liber-
atty and good citizenship evidenced by
this movement in the interest of good
government and the general welfare of
the city. He was glad of the independ-
ence shown by the republicans who re-.
fused to be bound by the action of their
party convention he was glad that the
democratic convention had also shown
the same liberal spirit in giving way to
citizens ticket and that the populist
party bad stood by the movement, that
was everywhere admitted to be for the
public good. Mr.. Bird said he would
gladly accept the nomination under
those conditions, and was ready to go
out and put up a campaign that would
be a winner, because he was thoroughly
in favor of non-partisan methods in city
government. He would not care to hold
the Office for the honor of it, but be-
cause of the principle it involved. A
campaign must be fought, and he was
willing to give it his time, and if elect
ed would devote all the time he could
spare toward giving the city a good,
clean, business-like administration,
where the city's interests would be adj
vanced in every possible way and the
individual rights of all citizens be pre-
served. Mr.. Birds speech was very
able one and was generously applauded
by all present, democrats, populists, re-
publicans and others.
" .. NuTGlS Wdo CdI4Cu upOh lOh a
speech and made very happy response.
Mr.. Curtis said that it was the first OPP
portunity he had ever had to address
democratic convention, and the situation
was a very novel one for him. He said
he had no apologies to offer for the re-
publican party, but he had for the men
who had misrepresented it tonight in
the party convention. ''The republicans
have turned US down, but [ believe
majority of the republican party will
support this ticket, and it will be
elected by the largest majority ever
given any ticket"
G. D. Jones, another republican, was
called for and made short speech SIM
liar to that Ct Mr.. Curtis. He said that
the republican convention did not rep
resent the sentiment of the party and
that he for one would support most
heartily the citizens ticket headed by
Mr.. Bird.
G. M. Boyles, leader of the peoples
party, was called upon and said he be-
lieved that the action taken by the
democratic convention was a most lib
eral one and that all good citizens
would commend it and he believed the
ticket would be elected by rousing
majority.
All present We're then called upon to
sign the nomination papers of the ticket
put up, as it was necessary to have the
ticket put on by nomination papers, and
almost every person present signed the
