WHY NEGRO SHOULD
VOTE TIE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET

The negro vote is=no longer the
property ot the Republican part. There
was time when that party counted ON
their vote as thing whether it
was question of cleeting a constable
or a president of the United States. and
IL made no difference what the issue
was. or the character or the ability oi
the men to be voted for, In this city
and in the larger cities of the west the
negro is now found in both parties.

The managers of the Republican
party, it appears, have at last awakened
to the fact that the Waterloo that their
ticket is about TO succumb to will also
overtake their candidate for comp
troller, J. J McCardy The people feel
that that is one OF the Offices where il is
necessary for change, SO the books
may be opened and the records gone
into. Mr.. Louis Betz. the Democratic
candidate for comptroller. has been
making telling campaign OF every
ward in the city since he has been

WHY THE ELECTION OF THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET is
DEMANDED

The campaign now about to close is
remarkable ior the interest and enthu-
siasm manifested by the citizens of St.
Paul from every station in life. The
dissatisfaction so generally observed
concerning the present city administra-
tion, equalled only by that OF the two
previous Republican administrations. is
an indication of an overthrow OF Re
publican party rule in this city For
six years a horde of hungry office-seek-
eTS. barnaCaleS time-servers and ward
heelers have been feeding at the public
crib-boring gimlet holes into the
public treasury and enlarging them into
augur holes Taxes like death has con-
tinued 10 increase but not a single
movement; in the way OF public inn
provement can be pointed out during
the administrations OF Messrs. Wright,
Doran and Keifer.
The city is flooded with circulars and
the hustings are bedecked with So
called statesmen of local and nation
al repute as a means OF rounding up
the Republican voters. The election OF
Republican mayor or constable. in
/. this. d presidential year, wilfAerve as a

ment at Washington. in the interest oi
combined wealth.

composed of the very best material.
There is every reason To believe that 1t
will be elected because the people
have had enough OF Republican rule,
while the personnel OF the ticket rep
resents the push. the integrity and all
the progressive tendencies that have
helped to build mp this city
The Democratic party has selected a
candidate for mayor who is an old and
tried public servant The Republican
press say that he has held office for
forty-one years. but they do not point
out one instance where he has nlisap
propriated a single fartbing OF the peo-
pies money. He has lived in the city
upwards OF half century and his pri-
vate and public life will bear the closest
scrutiny The plain people as well as
the aristocrat meet Robert A. Smith on
a common level.
The election oi the Democratic ticket
means the expenditure OF money for
needed public Improvements The build-
ing oi more school houses. Improving

public improvements furnishes work for
