DORAN'S SIXTH WARD NEIGH
BORIS STAY AT
HOME
CANDIDATES ARE ALARMED
Promises of Good Speeches to Close
Fails to Hold "CrOwG" at Open
ing of the Republican
Campaign.

masse last night to assist i'll the much
advertised formal opening of the Doran
campaign in his own ward. The meeting
at Paul Martins hall was attended by 14O
voters, including representatives of most
of the wards, enthusiasm manufacturers,
representing the former police depart
ments and few curious Democrats and
about twenty-five boys, who assisted in
the spasmodic applause. The crowd"
was swelled by the presence of ten can
diGates
There was splenty of speech-making,
but it was not received with the roof
raising applause that would indicate that
the Sixth ward to a man is for Doran.
E. E. Mcdonald, who presided, announce
ed that he had good speakers-E. G. Rog-
ers and Dar F. Reese-for the finish. But
even these good promises failed to hold
the crowd" which had appreciably
dwindled away before Rogers got a
chance to explain the direful effects Of
splitting the ticket. The candidate speak
ers were Frank Arnold, Robert Q. Hine,
+. B. Doran, Henry Wolterstorff, a. T.
Rosen, III. W. Phillips, Howard Wheeler,
H. l.. Mills and
Col. Kiefer Told Irish Dialect Stories
The remarks Of all the candidates would
indicate that their travels have given
them the scent of a large-sized mice
and several of them were vociferOus in
their denunciations of the disposition to
split the ticket. Frank Arnold said the
practice some Republicans make of vot-
ing for Democrats is very bad and liable
to lead to most disastrous results, and E.
G. Rogers said if President Roosevelt
and the Minnesota delegation in Wash
ington find out that the st. Paul Repub-
hcans won't swallow their MEDICINE grace
fully there Will be much disappointment
and even discoura cement in the halls of
the national capitol
Arnold was the first speaker. He told
a comical if unconscious, truth, but the
humor of the situation seemed lost on
Doran and the seriousness of the speaker
failed TO brig out anything like an ova-
ton. He announced that ne would say
nothing about the head of the ticket 1t
would be. he said, like carrying Goals
to Newcastle. You know him and you
know what he will do If he is elected.
Evidently the magnificent gathering diu
not know what he would do if elected,
but no gloves were split in the glad ac-
claim which Mr.. Arnold waited for.
Enthusiasm Was Not Intense.
Indeed there settled down deep gloom
enc of the twenty-five in the middle of
the hall, failed to dispel, even to visibly
jar
Mr.. DcFSn modestIv stated that =, is
not entitled to any special credit for be-
ing good man. He just cannot help it,
and said that no man would be entitled
to any bouquets for pursuing a course
similar to the one he follows. But it is,
he said, time to elect a Republican mayor.
@ \
would have been born q Republican if
the foundation of the party had not been
several years late. He was not response
BILE for the dilatory methods of building
the party but since it is present in the
land he would, by it's grace, like very
much to be mayor. Besides being mayor
he wanted McCardy to be comptroller
for the ensuing twenty-five years, be-
cause. 1T is really great thing to have
a watchdog of the treasury"
Mr.. McCardy stated that taxes are
usually higher under Democratic admin
istration, but did not explain why, or any
specific instances.
