now point, that the men whom the d0u-
bic forces are trying to defeat will be
elected.
Among those who are acquainted
with the situation 1t Is said that Far
mum and Nohe are expected to be elect
ed, the latter relying mainly, 1t is said,
on the "plumping" system at the ex-
pense of his colleague on the ticket.
Mr.. Weare. This will give Richard 4.
Burke, Democratic candidate for Rep
resentative, chance to utilize the
same system ut the expense Of his col
league, James r. Prendergast. Be-
tween the regular parties, therefore,
the slate Is thought to be Frank Far
mum for state Senator and NOhe and
Burke for Representatives.
With regard to Mr.. Weare and the
place he Is expected to get off ut, 1t
may be said that Mr.. Weare and his
friends are very far from counting that
gentleman "out Of It." ON the con-
trary, The Eagle understands he Is
very much Gin It," as will be demon
strated conclusively before the fight Is
over As regards the Pumping proc
ess, Mr.. weare's friends are just now
saying that's game that two can
play at"
Is 1t possible that the police authori
ties are unable to cope with and put
an end to the intolerable automobile,
otherwise known as "the devil-wag'
| on" nuisance? We have accounts set
forth in the press day after day Of
accidents involving the loss Of life ana
vet It seems nobody Is ever brought to
punishment about 1t. Can 1t be that
because the owners of these machines
are usually rich people that the police
imagine they are not amenable to law?
The talk about the Republicans put.
ting up candidate against Hon. John
Powers In the Seventeenth Senatorial
District Is absurd. There r. a normal
Democratic majority Of 1000 In the
district, and Mr.. John Powers has his
foot Oh his native heath there and will
command his full party strength and
vote.
The Health Department Is now blam
Ing the rain for the recent heavy NOR
tally among infants. The department
says the heavy rain has made pastur
age watery and has consequently af
fected injuriously the quality Of thu
milk. 1t Is a cold day when the cheal
Health Department fails TO find an ex
cuse for prevailing conditions.
