SAD TIME WITH The SANS

Tonight will be red letter night in
the history of the Third Ward Demo-
cratic Club. The club meets and will
elect one hundred and thiryt-one new
members, who are at present members
of the Bernard G. Foley Association, of
Grove and First streets.
The action of the Foleys was prompted
by tie standard bearer himself, who be-
came a member of the Third Ward Club
two weeks ago. Said Mr. Foley to a re-
porter for The News" last night
"Yes, the Foley Association, one hun
dred and thirty strong, is going into the
Third Ward Democratic Club tomorrow
night 1t is something the like of which
has never occurred before in this city
or county. There are one hundred and
thirty-one applications up there at the
club house on Sixth street, and the initia-
tion fee for each one has been paid.
ALL WANTED TO JOIN.
I was greatly surprised when l asked
the members to join the Third Ward Club
telling them l thought it would be for
the best, and saw how wiling they were
Democratic Committee and the Davis AS
sociation and broke away from them be-
cause / was antagonistic to their ways
and ideas. I became a member of the
Sammy Dickinsons just before Fagan's
election. l went up there and found out
that I was in the wrong place. l inteud-
ed 20 bolt the whole Democratic ticket
Did l? No. / voted the straight Demo
cratic ticket from top to bottom. / wore
the Republican mantle for exactly forty
eight hours and that was enough for
Iae. 1t took just forty-eight hours for
me to have my application approved and
my resignation accepted.
Il have learned more and more lately
about the Democratic party and have
discovered the folly of fighting it. All
the Foleyites think as l do, and the
membership comprises some very promi-
nent business men. They are with the
party this time heart and soul.
FOLEY ADMITS MISTAKE.

/ nthe past, but will try my best to stop
making any more.
