BIG MEETING HELD IN
THE FOURTH WARD
Voters Turn Out in Force and Declare
for Democratic Ticket.

Between eight hundred and a thou
SAND people gathered at Hiawatha
NAH, Sixth and Wabasha streets LAST
evening TO greet the Democratic can
dldates and TO affirm that the Fourth
ward VIII swing into line with A big
pIuraIty for Robert A. Smith and the
entlree ticket on Tuesday next. It was
one OF the largest and most successful
meetings OF the campaign. and cheer
after cheer greeted every candidate and
every IaVorlte speaker as they entered
the han.
James R. Hickey presided, and the
opening address was made BY J r
Covlngton. He was followed by Aid.
huber, whose brief but telling speech
was cheered to the echo. t. r. Kane
made one OF the most convincing argu-
ments OF the evening, instituting a
comparison between the public school
system under the Doran and Kiefer
administrations and during the last
TOUR years under Mayor Smith.
During the Kiefer and Doran admin
1strauons, he said, the school children
OF st. Paul were forced TO go with
only half-day's schooling to permit
the heads Of the city government to
make record for sO-called economy.
during the four years of Republican
rule but fifteen rooms were added to
the seating capacity Of the schools.
while under the four years of Mavor
Smiths administration more than $50
rooms We're added. Under the combfn-
ed administrations of Doran and Kiefer
only $4,000 was spent on improve
ments and new school buildings. while
during the four years of Mayor Smiths
regime S515,500 was expended for the
same purposes.
Mr.. Kane was followed by Louis
Betz, who was heartily greeted by the
immense audience. Mr.. Betz said that
he was just in receipt Of a letter from
the comptroller of Washington. d. c..

tire public, free from personal favorit-
ism and without that ostentatiOus dis
play that sometimes obtains in like
departments.
Naturally coming in contact with a
great many people in my capacity as
health inspector and as a private citi-
zen 1t has always been my pleasure as
a patriotic citizen of the city of St.
Paul to hear the police administration
of John J. O'COnnor spoken of in the
highest terms of praise. Not being
familiar with the inner workings Of
the department 1t would be impossible
to enter into a critical analysis of the
workings of the police force, but if the
report is true that he will sever his
connection with the department If the
election goes contrary TO his wishes I
believe that his resignation would be a
great loss to the city.
In Robert A Smith, the candidate
for mayor there is no term that will
fully express my admiration for him
and for his career-abounding as it
does, in noble acts Of self-sacrifice and
generous iberality to the needy. For
more than twenty years he has been a
personal acquaintance, during which
time 1t has been my displeasure to wit
ness him voluntarily give up to cred
itors, that he did not personally owe,
almost the coat from his back, and yet
do so without regret or complaint.

DR.. Justus Ohage, the health COM
missioner, is not a politician in any
sense Of the word, but in an interview
yesterday he made use OF expressions
bearing upon the present campaign that
will doubtless prove of universal in
terest.
In his opening statement he declared
in emphatic terms against a ''keyhole"
administration in the most emphatic
manner, and without mercy fayed
those persons who have in public
speech and for political reasons be-
smirched the good name of the city Of
St. Paul. While not purporting to en-
ter into the campaign in any sense DR..
Ohage makes use of the broad argu-
ment that the present and growing
prestige of the city abroad is of far
more Importance than the CARRYING out
of the scheme Of seIf-tnterest on the
part Of the politicians.
The affairs of a metropolitan city
like st. Paul cannot be administered in
the same method that are those Of a
village. In a large city crime will ex-
ist, as 1t has existed since the congre-
cation Of men begun, and 1t is not
within the province Of the officers of
the city to advertise the crime that
exists within the municipality, but, on
the other hand, it devolves upon them
to keep from the view of the public
ofTenses of an ordinary character. In
my estimation a great injury has been
done the city by the outcry that has
been made from various sources. and
in this opinion the conservative ele-
ment Of the city comedies. A person
who declares that a lawIess condition
exists within a city, perhaps uncon-
sciously. advertises crime and does a
greater injury than he knows
Praises Police Department
"As a layman and Judging merely
from a view as SUCH" continued Dr.
Ohage, the attacks upon the police
department seem to be entirely out OF
place. In my intercourse with this
branch Of the city government, both
as a public official and as a citizen. 1

Paul Martin the Only Repub.
Iican to Turn Out to "Mass"
Meeting.

widely advertised Republican
mass meeting was held in Martins
opera house, West side, last evening,
its advantage over ordinary gatherings
lying in the exclusiveness of those at
tending. The crowd was composed of
Paul Martin and A. r. Kiefer and A.
r. Kiefer and Paul Martin and Paul
Martin and A. R Kiefer.
The audience came early, Martin ar
irving some minutes in advance of
Kiefer. Both gentlemen surveyed the
immense cloth sign, attached to the
building, announcing the mass meet
ing, and bethOught themselves as to
the nature of the addresses they would
make to the immense gathering of
voters.
Martin bade Kiefer good evening and
kiefer did the same to Martin, and
together they seated themselves to talk
over the issues of the campaign. A
stray voter strolled in and was greeted
with avidity by Kiefer and with effu-
sion by Martin. the two gentlemen be
ing on the point of falling on his neck
and weeping when there occurred a
wild whoop Of enthusiasm in the Dem
ocratic meeting next door. Without
bidding adieu the voter b6ted for the
next door and Kiefer and Martin were
again lonesome
Hardly had the couple resumed their
conversation when a couple of other
voters arrived. accepted the salutation,
heard the speakers in the next room
and quietly went where they could see
somebody and hear something. A few
others came and went the same route.
Kiefer looked at Martin and sighed.

HALL TOO SMALL FOR
THIRD WARD MEETING
Democrats Turn Out in Force and
Pack Vasa Hall to Overlooking.

The Democrats of the Third ward
turned out in force at Vasa hall last
evening to hear the issues of the cam
paign discussed by a number of able
speakers. The hall was filed to its
utmost capacity and many We're una
BILE to obtain entrance.
County Attorney T. r. Kane made a
mastery address, reviewing the false
charges made and retracted by the des-
perate campaign committee of the Re
publican party. He said that owing
to the system of checking in vogue IL
this city, not a dollar could be appro-
priated wrOngfully or unlawfully with
out the direct connivancef of the two
Republican municipal judges and the
Republican state examiner Referring
to the charges of police corruption and
incapacity, Mr.. Kane said that at pres
ent there was not a prisoner under in
dictment in the Ramsey county fail for
felony committed In the corporate lin
it's of St Paul, and that under Demo
cratic rule the Republican sheriff had
little to do but trim the lawn. while
under the previous administrations Of
Doran and Kiefer there were from
thirty-five to fifty prisoners always
under Indictment for offenses commit
ted in this city.
Louis Betz, Michael Doran Jr. and
several other candidates addressed the
meeting. and Aid. Dahlquist, in an en-
thusiastic speech, pledged his whole
support To the ticket and denounced
the lying statements of Republican pa
pers that he was a traitor to the party.

VOTERS OF NINTH
PACK HEDMAN'S HALL
Democratic Speakers Are Enthusias-
ticaIIy Received by Large Crowd.

The Democratic meeting last night
at Aedman's hall, Rice street, was in
point of numbers and enthusiasm a
distinct Improvement on the Repub-
ican meeting held in the same hall the
night before. The hall was packed to
suffocation last night and the speakers
were received with every mark Of ia
vor. The contrast which marked the
Ninth ward meetings was in evidence
throughout the city.
Clemens Diebald presided at the
Hedman hail meeting, and an audi
ence filled the hall seats and many
stood during the entire evening But
for the impossibility to secure speakers
the meeting would have lasted until
midnight, for the audience insisted on
more of the truth about municipal af-
fairs when the last speaker had con-
Guided.
Corporation Attorney J. C. Michael
made the principal address of the
evening, and he reviewed and answered
every charge that has been advanced
by the Republican speakers. He spoke
especially of Col. Wright's charge that
somebody twelve years ago had offered
him fabulously large sum of money
for certain gambling privileges and he
called on Col. Wright to say definitely
whether or not he had accepted or re-
Jected the offer. He considered it very
strange that the Republican candidate
for mayor should remain silent for
twelve years before exposing the plot
TO corrupt him. If Col Wright really
believed there was so much graft in
the administration of local affairs, he
said, it possibly explained his apparent
anxiety to become mayor
Edward L. Murphy, in a brief but
convincing speech, compared the pres
ent administration to those of the Re
publican mayors in the past and show
ed very plainly that Mayor Smiths ad-
ministration is better in every essen
tiaI than those Of Wright, Doran and
Kiefer. He defended the present po-
lice administration as the best in the
history of the city and challenged the
Republicans to prove any Of their as
sertions Of either its incompeteney or
its dishonesty.
Other speakers were J. J. Regan. DR..
E. H. Whitcomb, George Daley, James
Hanlon. John J. Brennan and W. j.
Preston, of the Eighth ward.
Mr.. Brennan, who is the Democratic
candidate for alderman in the Ninth
ward, was especially well received and
his brief remarks were Justify cheered
His friend say that he is as good as
elected in his ward.

REPUBLICANS AROUSE
REAL ESTATE MEN
Attacks on Good Name of City Are Re-
scented in Still Another Quarter.

The repeated ISLANDERS of the Re-
publican campaign speakers against
the good name of st. Paul are bearing
fruit, but in an entirely different man
ner from that expected by the SANDER
ers- The reiterated claims that St
Paul is vice-ridden city, that crime
and lawlessnesS go unrebuked, and that
taxes are out of proportion to the re-
turns given for the money expended,
all combine to give the city a reputa-
ton that intending investors viii bear
in mind before spending their money
IN improving the city and it's property
interests, while the damage that the
claims do TO those who would come to
St Paul to make It their homes cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents. The
men who have the best interests of the
city at heart, and especially those who
make a livelihood by dealing in real
estate and the rental of properties, are
up in arms at the continued charges
made by the Republican speakers. and
which are not substantiated in any
way. Said one prominent real estate
man yesterday:
THE injury that these traducers Of
St. Paul are doing the city cannot be
measured from a financial standpoint
and If their charges had not been com.
pletely met and answered by the DEM
ocratic speakers and The Globe, I
90 not know where the injury would
have stopped. The Republicans have
fouled the city by their baseIess
charges until 1t is high time that own
ers of property got together in a Wig
orous protest against the cheap trick
cry which would sacrifice the good
name of the city to serve a temporary
political advantage.
est Paul is not only the heaIthfest
city in the world, but it is one of the
best governed towns in the country,
while statistics show the cost Of its gov
eminent is no higher than many other
enterprising, thrifty, growing towns
throughout the union Of states. I am
willing to risk my political reputation

word against the opposition candidate
for the Office, and with no design on
my part to deviate from the duties ap-
pertaining to the Office which I hold, it
is a real pleasure to say good word
for a man who has done so much for
the city as has Robert A. Smith.
In what I have said it is not my
purpose to reverse the policy of nom
interference in politics that has OBJ
tanned since 1 was appointed TO this
office, but what I have said is merely
designed as a defense of the good name
Of the city of St. Paul, against which
much has been said of late. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to preserve the
fair name of the city with the same
zeal that he protects his own reputa-
ton, and this being true 1 have been
surprised at utterances that have been
made and widely circulated that re-
fleet upon the administration Of the
city and therefore upon every citizen
within its borders"

1.-THE affairs of a metropolitan
city like ST. Paul cannot be admin
istered in the same method that are
those of village. In large cities
crime will exist, as it has existed
since the congregation of men be-
gan, and it is not within the prov
ince of the officers of the city to ad-
vertise to the world the crime that
exists within the municipality, but,
on the other hand, it deVoIves upon
them to keep from the view of the
public offenses of ordinary charac-
ter. In my estimation a great in
jury has been done the city by the
outcry that has been made from
various sources, and in this opinion
the conservative element of the city
comedies. A person who declares
that lawless condition exists with
in a city, perhaps unconsciousIy,
adVertises crime and does a greater
injury than he knows."-Dr. Justus
