In response to the insistent demands
Of the meeting, Mayor Smith made A
brief speech. He said the results of the
campaign depended largely upon the eff
forts and vigilance of the precinct or
CARNATIONS, and Especially recommended
that the committeeman use every effort
to prevent colonization and the polling of
a single Illegal vote. = Continuing, he said
III part:
Mayor Takes Doran to Task.
II regret exceedingly the character Of
the campaign which has been forced upon
us. In all my former campaigns my re-
iatlons with the opposing candidates have

ran against Mr.. Smith, 1 frequently met

respectful l want to call your atten-
uon to few of the remarks in an ugly
ana uncaiied for personal vein made by
MT Doran. He opened his campaign by
stating that / am not mayor, and that
the city affairs are in the hands of Mr.
n L. OConnor. That is untrue, but for
the sake OF the argument, assuming that
IL is true, l wish to call Mr.. DOran'S at
tentlon to the fact that the city's affairs
are much better administered than they
We're during his incumbency when he
was managed by Mayor Reddv Griffin. =

Doran Responsible for Reese Speech.
Mr.. Lawler administered stinging r.
Duke to the methods employed BY the Re-
publican campaigners, and like Mr. Kane
called the attention of the meeting 10 tho
TeIutauon of their metAC d by the r pub
mean press. He reite, ated his statements
made at the r. A. Smith Business Mems
cruz meeting, and charged Mr. Doran
with accepting responsibility for Recess
SpIeCH Uy HIS aC(lulGSeICe ana silence. He
said the attitude of the Republican press
strips the veil of hypocrisy from the
Doran campaign arguments. BY the adj
missions of the Republicans it is proved
that the increases in the tax budget were
made with Republican support and with
out political division or political discus
sion. He said:
If the Republican candidates wish to
make the tax budget an issue we are
willing to admit that the Democrat
party caused an increase of $450010 IN the
tax budget to insure an education for the
children of St Paul. 1t was for an edu-
cation for their children that a majority
of our citizens from foreign landes came
to this country. They understood hat
the priceless boon of education was in
separabe from American citizenship In
these days of keen comme rcial rivalry,
when fortunes are sometimes swept away
in a night education is the most Valu-
able heritage we can provide for our
children and we are wiling if necessary
to build twice as many schools in order
that the children of our city may be
equipped for life's battles"
willing to Sacrifice Charter.
The Republicans argue that Mr.. Doran
if elected. would not destroy the present
police board because the charter prevents
him from interfering with the police. AT
his request he was placed on the sub
committee which drafted the police board
clause of the new charter. He worked
against bipartisan policy and Sneered
at the idea that a Democrat could be
elected to Office. Then fearful of Col.
Kiefer, a good Republican, he tied up
the charter with the forty-day clause
After the election and the ratification of
the charter. Doran and the men at his
back and who are again at his back, in
Stituted suit after suit to destroy it. In
their anxiety to wipe out the police board
they were willing to sacrifice the whole
charter. They were defeated in every ac-
ton in the district courts and in the SUI
preme court Dy unanimous votes of the
bench. His willingness to sacrifice the
charter proves what he would do IF he
We're given the opportunity.
The master is responsible for the acts
Of his agent and servant. When Doran
and his associate candidates sat in 81
plauded its sentiments he became moral
ly and legally responsible for an address
such as was never before delivered in St
PG,il. An appeal TO the lowest, meanest
and most contemplate passions of men.
A speech which was high treason to the
liberties OF American citizens. The time
has gone by when the people will submit
to attempts to stir up Old-World strifes
and the hates engendered in the old world
by opposing men who Worshipped at diff
ferent affairs. Our fathers came to this
country to escape the old world hates
which they left across the seas. Forever
be accused and forever be paralyzed the
tongue that for moment attempts to
stir up the hates our fathers left behind
We are all Americans here and | say
again to E. b. Doran that the man who
will be an A. T. A. to an Englfshman
Will be an A. j. A. to a Bohemian a
Frenchman, German, a Scandinavian,
