not without effect on the sentiment,

Extending the Analogy.

II tell you" contended the 5oarder
with the bristling hair, "the man who
says we ought to live to be hundred
years old is right. Look at the horse.
1t takes horse four years to get its
growth, and 1t lives to be twenty.
1t takes man twenty years to get
his growth, and by the same ratio he
ought to live to be a hundred. There

DEMOCRATS DEMAND COMPETITION
IN THE ELECTRIC BUSINESS

According to a statement made by Can
didate Wright at Democratic meeting
in Gilbert hall, in the Seventh ward, last
night, the important issue now before the
people is one which relates to the public
lighting and whether OF not there shall be
one or two power companies doing business
in Tacoma.
Mr.. Wright said that in his relation to
that issue he stood upon the plank of the
Democratic platform which says: Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none."
'The Democratic candidates cannot
speak at length on the issues of this
campaign" said Mr.. Wright, "but we nave
a number of other speakers who will do
that for us.
Il have been charged with having the
support of the saloon element. That is
not true 1t is a fact, however that the
proprietors of the most notorious resorts
IN town are supporting Mr.. Campbell.
As far as / am concerned, | would suffer
no inconvenience if there were no saloons
in Tacoma. As for slot machines and
other forms Of gambling, people ought to
have better Judgment than to want to
patronize them"
Mr. Wrlgm reiterated tine statement
made in previous speech, that he was
meeting with much encouragement from
business men, and predicted his election
on April 5.
The other speakers were Messrs. Eshel-
man, Hiberly, Fletcher, Cole and Snyder.
An audience of over hundred greeted
the Democratic speakers in Hunters hall,
near East ID and Twenty-ifth streets, last
night. The speakers were John Leo,
j. J, Anderson, o. G, Ellis, and Candi-
dates Wright, ,Eshelman, Hiberly and Due
val.
Mr.. LEO opened the meeting with an
s,duress on the desirabiGty of making a
change in the city administration. He
said: 81 am opposed to a third term
