A large crowd of men and women of the
Twelfth ward gathered in a tent at the
corner of Senate and Kentucky avenues
last night to hear the speeches of Mayor
Bookwalter, w. n. Harding, T. j. Yount.
Republican nominee for city clerk, and
Judge Whallon, nominee for reelection to
the Police Court bench. The speakers were
introduced by Charles McGroarty, an at
torney of this city.
Mayor Bookwalter was the first speaker,
but owing TO cold and the noise made by
the locomotives he only spoke about fif-
teen minutes. The mayor said he offered
no apology for the way he had conducted
the city administration-all that any man
can do is to obey his conscience; that the
speakers were there last night to drive
one more nail in the political coffin of the
traducers of Indianapolis. He called the
attention of the audience to the noises
made by the passing locomotives and said:
Those noises mean prosperity; If you want
those noises to continue vote for me-" He
attacked the News for the stand it had
taken against the city administration and
said in closing: THE News says to the
voters of Indianapolis, Come unto us, We
oit xrbn in dnIlht Ind
ment and let us lead you through the will
derness which we have created from our
imagination. "
w. n. HARDING SPEAKS.
Mr. Harding was next introduced and
said: "It is a pleasure for me to be here
this evening. 1 am honest in my belief
that no m IN could have done more to please
the people of this city than Mayor Book
walter has done. The only thing a man
can do is to do his duty, this 1 belive our
mayor has conscientiously done. Maybe
he has done some things that we would
not have done, but he has done what he
thought was his duty. He has, by his
wisdom and forethought, secured for us
an interurban terminal station that will be
a monument to this city a century from
now. He sought to find out what were
the interests of the people-he acted for
no corporation He has done more for this
city by securing this magnificent station than
any mayor has done for this city in twenty
years. oh. but they'll say that came by
reason of the force of progress Not so.
1t came by the unselfish efforts of the city
combined with the struggling corporations.
The building of this station will make In
dianapolis the greatest interurban center
on the continent.
John w. Holtzman, If elected SAYS that
he will reform the city. | never heard
of Holtzman reforming anybody He was
the right hand bower of Thomas Taggart
for three terms. During Denny's admin
istration he was continually abusing him
for keeping closed town--now he wants
To beat Bookwalter in order 10 close up
the saloons and wine rooms. The News
is trying to beat Ed Logsdon. I have
known Logsdon since he was knee high
20 his mother. l have known his father
forty years. / have known his family be-
fore him. / say that Ed Logsdon is an
honest man. Logsdon never did anything
