The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-20

tbo French-Americans of the city said
Yesterday that the field of possibilities
was narrowing down to John r. Jan
dron of Ward four. A number OF men
have been mentioned for the place
prominent among them John u. SIM
ard of the Bay State Coal Company
but all have some reason, business or
otherwise, why they cannot take the
nomination Mr.. Jandron is Wen
known lawyer with an office IN the
Walker building, and, while there are
individuals opposed to MIN, II Is
thought he will be met with as great
a degree of favor as any mentioned
thus far.
An effort has been made to have w.
Levi Bousquet stand for another term,
but he declines. There are those who
say the candidate to be endorsed at
the meeting Tuesday night has not
been named Whether this is true re-
mains to be determined.
The candidacy of John P. Munroe,
candidate for senator in the second
district looks brighter every day. In
the towns especially the Munroe SEN
timent increases steadily, but If predic-
lions of the wise men amount to any
thing it is we'll enough to safeguard
the result by getting out every Repuo-
lican vote in the city wards OF the as
trict.
Men who are handling Mr.. Munroe's
campaign re9lize this fact and are VIII
ling to wait until the fight is ovar
before indulging in too marked en-
joyment The Republican candidate Is
one of the sort who believes in keep
ing at work until the polls close and
the men who are interested in his well
fare have been imbued with the same
spirit. Along this line the doctrine
impressed is that every Republican
voter should go to the polls Nov. 5,
and cast his ballot for John P. Munroe
for senator and the other candidates
of the Republican party.
The opening rally in the Walsh cam
paign did not create any great amount
of sentiment. In fact the Munroe men
incline to the belief that the meeting
fell rather fat Mr.. Walsh's defence
of his attitude on the subway bill has
caused not a little amusement among
local politicians.
Tomorrow thousands of circulars
printed in the interest Of the RepuSli-
can candidates will be sent to Republic
cans all over the district. The cir
cular bears an excellent half tone like
ness of John P. Munroe on the title
page and gives a sketch of the candi-
dates career. In addition the circular
conveys this message to voters of the
district
To the Voters of the Second Worcester
Senatorial District:
John P. Munroe Of Ward two, Wor-
cester, the Republican candidate for
senator in the second Worcester dis
trict. is one Of Worcesters best known
citizens. He is exceptionally well fitted
by natural ability, extensive acquaint-
ance, years devoted to the study of
public questions and lifelong habits
of industry, to render valuable service
to the people of this district
He has thorough and exhaustive
acquaintance with the needs, not only
of the city Of Worcester, but of the
towns of the district, especially those
which are situated in and about the
Metropolitan water basin. He is farni-
liar from their inception with the de-
tails Of this great scheme, which has
impoverished Worcester County towns
for the benefit Of the Metropolitan dis
trict and he is in hearty sympathy
with that public sentiment which de-
mands ample compensation for individ-
uals and towns which have suffered
damage by reason of the destruction
Of water rights and the construction
Of the great reservoir.
IG tOuliOl u TIE OF
Massachusetts is in the hands of Re
publicans. The Senate especially is
Republican by more than three to one.
1t is a simple business proposition,
therefore. that a Republican senator
can render more effective service for
his district than can one who is not
in political accord with the great ma
jority of his associates. Mr.. Munroe
will always be found ready to maintain
zealously all the rights of his con-
stituents and to urge with ability and |
persistence their just claims upon the |
attention of a Republican Legislature /,
and a Republican governor.
For the senatorial district committee, |
A S. PINKERTON, Chairman.
OSCAR f. DODGE, Secretary.
The chances of Representative John
G. Hagberg securing a reelection to 1
the Legislature from Ward five never
were brighter. The work put in since
the caucuses by Hagberg and his
friends is yielding splendid results. In
the assurance from practical
" every Republican voter in the ward
that they will come out and vote cleo
ton day, friends of the candidate feel
that victory Is theirs.
Another thing which is considered
significant is that men in the ward
who incline toward sport are making
vagers at fve to two that Hagberg
