The hall was completely hlled with rep
resentative citizens Of the ward and the

full of interest. The principal speaker OF
the evening was Edward Rosewater, but
before he began his address short speeches
we're called for from several Of the can
didates present. The first speaker was w.
J. Hunter. candidate for city comptroller.
He thought that the recent ruling OF the
city committee was unfair and said: The
ruling is unfair to any and all candidates.
The right way would be for the people OF
the ward to make their own choice for
councilmen. Councilmen should be elected
by the people OF the ward they are to rep
resent. I believe this to be the only fair
way, and ask that the Sixth ward repub-
licans give me their support at the pri-
maries for the Office Of comptroller. II
elected will do my best to merit your
confidence"

A very largely attended meeting Of the
Seventh Ward Republican club was held at
27O9 Leavenworth street last night, when
city issues were DISCUSSED, Every mentor
OF Mayor Moores' name was received with
applause, and much enthusiasm was man
ifested over his candidacy. No effort was
made to secure a formal Endorsement OF
the mayor by the meeting. John P. Breer
was the principal speaker. He had for
his topic the general question Of municipal
government. He discussed municipal own
ership, and the attitude Of the local fran
chlsed corporations toward the city gov

A resolution adopted unanimously de-
nounces the action Of the city committee
in requiring that candidates for the coun-
Gil express a preference for the head of the
ticket on which their names are placed
and gives it as the sense OF the club that
the candidate for the city counc receiving
the highest number Of votes at the primary
be declared the candidate from the Seventh
ward, no matter which ticket his name
