sway In the mayors office and Chippy
Davis ruled all the precincts OF the Cen
trail station district. 1 recall that the
children went to school halliday ses-
sions; that our boys ran the streets be-
cause the schools were denied them And
if you want return of those conditions,
why, elect Doran.
Disrupted the Fire Department..
ct recall the fact that Mayor Doran
dismissed from the fire department, the
pride of the city Chief Jackson and in
stalled in his stead Hart n. Cook. / re-
call a $1,O0O,O0O fire in the Midway district
and 1 recall that the firemen and citi-
zenS hunted high and low, far and near,
for their chief of the fire department to
direct the battle against the flames and
the work of caring for his dead and
wounded subordinates, but could not ind
him..
T. D. OBrien deprecated the campaign
of Vi4ifcation inaugurated by the repub-
licans. He said the campaign is one OF
business interests and should be settled
upon these issues. The Republicans
refuge behind wall of mud-slinging prov
ed the hollow foundation of their claims
to the suffrage Of the citizens of st. Paul
Mr.. OBrien said in part:
For forty years the city was in DEM
ocratic custody. 1t grew and fourished
When hard times came upon us the peopel
fretted under the taxes and listened to
the Republican cry of gang and eX-
travagance." The Republicans came into
power under a promise to revolutionize
things, thugs and disreputable classes of
the entire country decided to assist in
the revolutionizing and did 1t with such
rare good will that the city became a
place Of unsafe habitation and notorious
throughout the country as the meeting
place of crooks"
RevOIutlonized With Dire Results.
THE Republicans revolutionized until
they deprived the children of their ner-
itage of education. They revolutionized
until the teachers were the poorest paid
in the country. They revolutionized to
the disruption of the police and fire de-
partments. The citizens arose and re-
pudiated their revolution. Now they cJme
with the same old plea for power, gang
and personal abuse of Mayor Smith.
Mayor Smith has been a part of the
growth of the city and an important fac
tor in it's success for nearly half a CEN
fury. In all that time no one can recall
a single unkind, cruel or dishonest act of
his. He became wealthy and honestly.
He was one Of the largest real estate
dealers. The records of the register of
deeds office will show that he record d
more real estate mortgages than any man
in st. Paul, but l defy any man to show
that he ever fOreclosed a mortgage on a
poor man"
Senator John Ives severely arfaigncd
the administrations of Doran and Nc
Cardy, and demanded that DOran explain
how he intends to remedy the mistakes
of his former administration before he
asks for return to office. He also ca led
the attention of his audience to the man
ner in which McCardy has at times play
ed the watchdog of the treasury" How,
when the legislature passed an uncon-
stitutional law providing for a commits
sioner of public works instead Of a board,
McCardy, knowing the law to be uncon-
stitutonal, audited the commissioner S
bills and the city lost the money.
Irvine Wellborne said the Republican
party has proved the colored mems dam
nation and accused McCardy CT anar-
chism. He said the Republican PAL ty has
for forty-f1ve years kept the negroes in
toXicated on political promises, and is
now trying to sober them up on disap-
pointments. He charged that McCardy,
| in speaking of the burning of a negro at
Leavenworth, Kan, by a mob, expressed
his approval of the deed, and stated
should 1t ever occur in St Paul he CMc-
Cardy) would lend his assistance
