of his followers yesterday afternoon in the

A plan Of campaign was mapped out, and
Neustadt announced that he would surely
win.
Il came within a few votes last year,
he said, "but will surely do the trick this

goes, the Mayor promised that an Ea st Side

but, IL you can't, come along yourself with
your friends"
Stiebling could not be located. The
candidate hired carriage and. with three
friends, drove TO the City Hall.

Let me see the Mayor at once. He just
telephoned me that should come down

The Mayor had gone away, and no one
had heard anything about the appoint
ment. The party went back to the East
Side somewhat crestfallen.
A day or two later Louis Kremer OF the
Fourth Assembly district got the place and
the politicians OF the Twelfth district shook
their heads.
