Candidate Parker's trip to Springfield
for the purpose Of adding slightly to
the wages Of his street railway en-
ployes there must be regarded as a phil
anthropic tribute to the toiling masses.
OF course, his being a candidate had
nothing to do with it. Somebody will
ask why the toilers did not get Justice
before; but that is carping criticism of
our Peter Cooper the Second. He only
forgot 1t before. When he is defeated
for the mayoralty he will have time to
go down and raise wages again. Watch
him do that. Maybe he will u%nionize
his railways on the same trip.

SPIRIT OF VICTORY.

There was every justification for the
prevailed at Monday nights mass meet
ing of voters Of the Twenty-second
Ward, held at Uhrig's Cave and adj
dressed by Mr.. Wells, the Democratic
nominee for Mayor, and other candi-
dates on the Democratic city ticket.
The st. Louis Democracy has named a
winning ticket on a platform that ap-
pea1s with irresistible logic for the sup
port Of every st. Louis voter who is de-
sirous of good government during the
Worlds Fair period. The ticket was
named In direct and willing obedience
to the public sentiment, which demand
ed a choice Of the best mel for Worlds
Fair municipal office. 1t was placed In
the field at an early date-also in obedi-
ence to the popular within order that
the people should have ample time in
which TO assure themselves Of the wor-
thiness of the candidates named. The
people have assured themselves that the
Democratic ticket is worthy.
In opposition to the ticket nominated
by the st. Louis Democracy the local
Republican organization has named q
ticket that fairly reeks with the faint of
the Ziegenhein machine. 1t was afraid
to name this ticket until the last mo-
ment. The ticket was nominated by
Ziegenhein and his City Central Com
mittee, its opponents being either dis
credited or forced from the field out
right. The head of the Republican
ticket is George W. Parker, for whom
Tub" Becker, a leading Ziegenhein
gangster, is raising a campaign slush
fund, and Mr.. Parker has promised in
return that in the event of his election
the spoils Of municipal office during the
Worlds Fair period shall be distributed
to 1.-The boys of the Ziegenhein gang.
A confident and enthusiastic aggres-
siveness on the part Of the local Democ-
racy is well justified. The Democratic
ticket is the good government ticket.
The Republican ticket is the gang ticket.
The people Of st. Louis demand good
government. They are wearied with
gang misrule. st. Louis Democrats
should strive for an overwhelming vic
tory at the polls lex month. The peo-
pie are with them.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-03-13
ZIEGENHEINISM

1t is because st. LOuisans have come
to q better realization Of the cost Of
four years OF Ziegenheinism that they
are so resolute In their determination to
defeat at the polls next month the
mayoralty candidate whose election
would mean four years more of Ziegen-
heInism.
Coincident with the %Ziegenhein admin
istration of municipal affairs, beginning
with It's beginning and continuing as the
~arch-example Of gang misrule In a great
city, the scandal attaching to the local
lighting situation has existed to the sac
rifice of the public good and the infinite
humiliation of the fourth city in the
Union.
For four long years. the four years
during which Ziegenheinism has been
dominant in st. Louis, there has been a
vain attempt to secure city ordinances
which would cur for the municipality
and for its citizens the improved modern
methods of public and private lighting
enjoyed by other American cities. The
attempt has been in vain, because the
Ziegenhein gang was determined to loot
the city by means of these contracts.
Numberless ordinances providing for
proper contracts for public and private
lighting have been prepared by the
Board of Public Improvements. They
have been defeated by the Ziegenhein-
lied Municipal Assembly as rapidly as
they were introduced in that body. Year
by year and month by month the time
drew near when existing lighting con
tracts would expire, and when the city
would be at the mercy Of a monopoly
owing to the failure to provide for time
ly competition on q basis Of the neces-
sary protection Of the city's rights.
This shameful condition reached its
climax in the organization Of what was
virtually a Committee of Public Safety,
composed Of indignant citizens who WIS.,
tied the Municipal Assembly in a body
and compelled action that in some meas
ure provided for the lighting of the city
without the utter sacrifice of its rights
for a long term of years. The situation
was desperate. The town was In dark
ness. 1t was dangerous to be abroad at
night. The municipality was shamed
before the world. The Municipal AS
sembly was obdurate up to the very
point where personal fear prevailed to
compel the Ziegenhein obstructionists to
break the deadlock which they had or
ganized to prevent the letting Of proper
lighting contracts.
The people of st. Louis justly charged
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-03-13

the lighting scandal to the account Of
Ziegenheinism. They will hold the gang
responsible at the polls for st. Louis's
calamitous Age of Darkness. They
know that the lighting scandal, shame
full as it was and is, will be surpassed
by greater scandals if Z~iegenheinism
shall prevail during the Worlds Fair
period. They are determined to over
throw Ziegenheinism. The public safe
" demands this action

There seems to be needless confusion
about the exact title Of the corporation
about to be organized to conduct
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Of
1903. There is really no occasion, how
ever, for misunderstanding about the
name. Congress fixed the title def
nitely and finally when it passed
the bill making the SIS, 5000 appropria-
ton. In this bill the corporation is des-
ignated as the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position Company. The word "the" is
not a part Of the name, the whole name
being Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Company" Under this title the COM
pany must incorporate to conform to
the act of Congress.
