Dear Sir--The streets of Chicago
Just now are Overrun by vagmntA dogs,
some of which are vicious ana danger.
Ous.
None Of these animals have tags. and
the natural inference is that no II.
cense has been paid for them by any
body.
Yet II one were to shoot one of these
animals on the thorOughfare Tor any.
where else for that mattcr) the act
constitutes. l am told, serious Of
fense under the law.
Now. would ask why II IL that the
City Clerk does not see to 1t that all
dogs are licensed and the fee paid up
In full.
That would reduce the number Of
vagrant ours In the streets. and would
remove II constant menace to pcdcs-
TRANS.
By the way. II would also add very
materially to the police pension fund.
which. we are told. has been so seri-
ously depleted OF late.
Very respectfully yours.

Dear Sir--If anybody believes thnt
the withdrawal from the mayOrnlty
race OF Hon. Clarence =. DarrOw means
that the organized labor vote Will ~
to Carter II. Harrison, he is vastly
mistaken.
Harrison II generally recognized as
''the gatllng gun candidate among or
ganixed labor men, and he will he NO
remembered by every union workman
on election day.
\ Mayor of Chicago who parnded u
park Of artillery under the nose Of Or
ganlzed labor. for the purpose of over
awing the labOring men Of this city,
can never get It's vote. The gatling
gun parade was cheap and unwar.
ranted insult to the peaceful, law-nbid-
Ing wOrkingmen of this city.
The wOrklngmen are just ns. much
Interested In the good government. the
peace and prosperity OF this city as
Harrison IL. They realize that the en-.
ployer must prosper IL the employe is
to he prosperous and happy: they
respect the flag and the institutions Of
this country. ana they need no parade
OF gatling guns to remind them that
there aIp laws and u government In
this land which must be upheld.
The union wOrkmen of Chicago will
have ample satisfaction for the Hairi-
sOn gatling gun insult OH election day,
no matter who the other candidates
for the mayOralty may be. Yours very
truly. A UNION WORKMAN.
