Henry S. Sternberg, of the Third ward,
said as a committeeman from that ward
he was willing to do what he could to
interest the voters of the ward in the
adoption ofthe charter
Patrick Butler, of the Fourth ward,
also favored the adoption of the char
ter.
John ]. Gleason, of the Fifth ward,
was of the opinion that the hardest work
would have to be done on election day,
| as the majority of the voters were apt
| to give but little attention to the PAM
phlets containing a synopsis of the new
charter, and it would require personal
talk with each voter to call attention
| to the question.
Herman Oppenheim, Of the Seventh
ward. said there was opportunity for "a
| new charter, as the present one was very
unsatisfactory, and there was no chance
| for change through the legislature.
Prof. ]. A. Hartigan and G. o. Magnu-
son, of the Eleventh ward, were in fa=
vor Of the charter.
W. p. Murray was of the opinion that
| 50 per cent of the business men favored
| the adoption of the charter. He suggest
| ed that at each of the ward meetings the
| speakers call attention OF voters to the
| fact that it allowed the city to have home
| rule.
| E. c. Stringer explained that circulars
| giving reasons why the charter should be
adopted would be printed in English,
Swedish, German and French, and dis
| tributed in all sections of the city. In
addition to this, the judges ef election
| would, on registration day, have copies
| of the circulars at each polling booth,
and all those who registered could secure
| one.
II. W. Childs, who was one of the char
ter commission, said the new charter de-
! parted very little from the present ones

as few innovations as possible. But It
