DEMOCRATS WILL
BRING OUT THE VOTE
Rousina Meetings Are Held In
Eighth and Ninth
Wards

At meetings in the Eighth and Ninth
wards last night the Democratic county
campaign was set in motion and a gen.
eral agreement entered into whereby
the full Democratic vote will be regis
tered With this accomplished it was
generally agreed that there is no ques-
ton of the success of the ticket at the
polls.
At the Eighth ward meeting John
w. Boerner presided, opening the meet
ing with a statement to the effect that
although the Republicans pretended
that they have received great encour-
agement from the vote polled at the
primaries. there is really nothing to
fear from the Democratic standpoint.
All that is necessary is to get out the
Democratic vote. To do this the pre-
cinct committeeman must be active.
Following out this idea, committee
of five was named, with Joseph Ma
cauley as chairman, to interview the
precinct committeeman now serving
and induce them to be active on the
two remaining registration days. Mr..
Macauley stated that there are great
number of Democrats who failed to
register on primary day because there
was an absence of contests for the
party nominations, but that he knew
that the vote can be brought out with
the proper amount of work.
Ninth Is Also Busy
In the Ninth ward much the same
programme was carried out. Stephen
McEllistrom was in the chair and call
ed attention to the small number Of
Democrats who had registered at. the
primaries. He was supported in his
contention that there should be greater
activity by E. L. Murphy, member Of
the board of public works. Mr.. Murphy
gave a rafting talk that aroused the
enthusiasm of his neighbors, in which
he stated that the organization and
every Democrat in the ward believes
that the state and county is to be torn
from the Republican party and that it
behooves every man to remain firm and
vote the ticket
Anton Miesen, the Democratic cam
didate for sheriff, received an ovation.
His talk to the voters met with the APP
prevail of all present. p. ]. Metzdorf,
Democratic candidate for county treas
urer, as an old-time member of the
Eighth ward organization, compliment

in the Ninth pointed to his admins
tration of the Office of treasurer as a

DIR. A. w. Miller, candidate for coro-
ner; Fred H. Beck, for county auditor,
made effective talks. J. D. Armstrong
appeared for Judge Bum and T. D.
O'Brien, the nominees for judges of the
district court and asked that they be
elected and a partisan judiciary
made possible in the future. Mr. Arm
strong stated that the candidates have
joined issues, and ask that all Demo-
Gratis cast their ballots for both. F. L..
McGhee paid attention to national is
sues, spoke of the hopeful features
connected with the state election, and
stated that all that Is necessary to
elect the entire county ticket is to see
that the Democrats register and vote.
He urged that the voters stand by
Messrs. O'Brien and Bum.
