E Of the two members in

Heery on behalf Of the two members in
the city council.
Joseph Csriley, Democratic candidate
for councilman from the Second ward,
is putting in all his time now working
up registration. He was personally in
charge of the dozen or more carriages
which were working yesterday in the
Second ward.
My people are IL fayor Of laws and
order not law and Order" said Griley.
What we want is a full registration
and a fair count. If the Republican
city central committee had not started
this fight on me. / would not have done
this extra work because / don't like
to hurt Bergundthal and realize that
all this work I am doing in my behalf
tends to hurt Bergundthal. All 1 want
is to be sure of election, and if the
Republicans would quit fighting me, /
would quit fighting Bergundthal.
Chairman II. Ward Page of the Re
publican city central committee said
today: We have a good fighting
chance in the Second ward. People
down there realize that Bergundthal
will be the next mayor. and they want
a councilman who will be in harmony
with the administration, and be in posi-
tion to do more for their ward.
BRIEF POLITICAL ITEMS.
There was nothing slow about the
Bergundthal rally held last night at
the colored Congregational church, cor
ner of King and Lincoln streets. A big
crowd was in attendance. and Mr. Ber-
gundthal made telling speech He
discussed especially the effect OF high
license on city finances. and showed
that the system of fjning Joints does not
profit the CITY In a material way. Other
speakers we're Mrs W. A McCarter,
Rev NJ. T. Hooks and Prof N Sawyer
1t was reported today that the new
law requiring that ballots be marked
with a rubber stamp instead of a pen
Gil will probably apply to the city cleo
tion is a mistake. The old law applies,
because the new law viii not take ef-
feet until published in the statute book.
There is likely to be a rush OF regis
tration during the next two days. The
books close on Friday at 10 p. m. Tt is
thought that 1000 voters may be regis
tered before the close.
