Campaign on Business Principles.
Mr. LAWYERS address was a masterful
ana eloquent exposition of the issues at
STAKE IN the campaign. He held his au-
Clence bound in the deepest interest and
ms remarks were applauded as literally
by the large number of well known Re-
pubIicans present as by the Democrats
He said, in part:
This campaign means more than the
average voter is inclined to believe. There
nave been only three or four occasions
IN the history Of this country when 1t
made any real difference to the prosperity
and welfare of the country and people
Which party won in a national campaign
A municipal campaign is different. 1t is
business proposition. Nine-t enths of the
taxes raised in this city go to municipal
support. The greater portion of the taxes
goes to the support Of the police depart

nicipal court and engineers department.
1t is business proposition and 1t makes
great difference to every taxpayer how
his money is expended. Will you take up
llntrie0 who have hQen triad

in office men who can point with pride to
their record and surround them with men
who will stand by the principles in which
the people are interested? Men who are
pledged to be generous in the manage
ment of the public schools, men who will
not change the efficiency Of the police de-
partment, and who will enforce the per
cent gross earnings tax clause Of the
charter"

Neither Color or Character.
"Mr Doran announces that his platform
is repetition of his former administra-
ton and proper enforcement of the city
laws and ordinances. What laws and or
dinances does he mean? Does he refer to
the ordinance which makes it an offanse
to allow a blind mule to run at large in
Seventh street? Does he refer to the ordl-
nance which makes it a penal offense to
throw paper in the street or expectorate
upon the sidewalks? What in heaven S
