TRY TO RAISE
BETTING POOL
Attempting Aged Election
Scheme to Further Boyd's Candi-
dacy--Ta|k Party Loyalty.

Frantic efforts are being made by
the republicans of the city today to
raise enough money to run a daily
paper for three or four days before
election day and to complete a pool
that is to be used for betting pur-
poses. So far the result is most I'M
satisfactory.
According to the plans of the pro.
motors the money was to be pooled
and later put into the hands of men
who should make a loud yell" on
Riverside avenue for bets. If Boyd
should win, the money would be di-
vided pro rata among the subscrib-
ers, and, If he should lose, they would
have the satisfaction of having put
up the money to aid the cause.
The chief cry of the republican
party leaders within their own ranks
at present is party loyalty the aim
being to prevent landslide to w H.
Acuff. This cry sounds remarkably
strange coming from the lips of men

ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT

The boldest robbery that has oc-

afternoon when a thfer grabbed the
pocketbook and bankroll of Mrs. Del
Dick, proprietress of a Riverside ave-
nue. saloon on the steps of the Trad
ers' National bank and escaped with
the money.
Al the time of the robbery the side
walk and steps were crowded with

on Second avenue near Lincoln street.

turned that the man had forced his

each others throats in the fractional
quarrels that have disturbed the party
for several years past.
A committee representing Rasher
has been busy today visiting the mer-
chants of Riverside avenue. They are
through with canvassing the saloon
vote. and their line of talk to the
merchants is very different from that
which was used in trying to capture
the saloon vote.
In small politics the detection of
Joe Daniel to the Rasher democrats
is one of the incidents of the past
two days. Daniel was appointed to
his present position of street superin-
tendent by Mayor Byrne, and it is re-
ported he is trying now to settle an
old grudge with the Federal Labor
union.

UNION LABOR APPROVES
MAYOR BYRNE'S COURSE
Alexander Smart l. S. fleskett and F. S. POTTS. of the
Trades Council Tell Why the Present Incumbent
Should Be Reelected.

Mayor Byrne Is the personal choice
or every official of organized labor
in the city to succeed himself, and
these are all earnestly hoping that he
will be so chosen. In Mayor Byrne
those who know him best see nothing
to find faul with. They know that
during two years of trial he has al
ways been faithful, has always been
consistent and has always given adj
vice that redounded to the benefit of
the men and in honor to himself. Not
once has he wavered from his duty,
and not once has he been influenced
by any clique or faction.
Alexander Smart, president of the
trades council, in speaking of Mayor
Byrne. said:
Personally, I have known Mayor
Byrne for long time, and have ad-
mired the consistency with which he
has held to all the promises that he
has made.
woRKINaMAN's MAYOR.
'There is absolutely no argument
against Mayor Byrne that will hold
water, as regards his treatment of or
ganized labor during the two years
that he has been in office. The least
that can be said about him Is that
he has proved himself the working
mans mayor.
Because Of his uprightness there
Is no doubt of the vote that he will
get from organized labor, and from
my own experience there is no doubt
but that he will also get heavy vote
from the working men who are out
side the ranks of organized labor. His
motto seems to be, Give the poor
man, the working man. every oppor-
tunity that will tend to his welfare,
and to the improvement of the condi>
tion of his family.

who are rot yet affiliated with organ

that have been organized, must know
