WRIGHT'S GRAFT STORY
FAILS TO IMPRESS
Tale of Bride Offer Is Taken With

IF Wright told the truth about be-

was mayor" said one of the Republic
an county commissioners who has been
classed as a CRATER by the Repub-
lican candidate for mayor, ''it seems
peculiar that he did not cause the ar
rest of the man who made the propo-
sition."
1T is remarkable. that he can set
himself up as a model of integrity and
yet permit scoundrel who would make
such a proposition to escape proper
punishment. Probably this is some
thing like the story that we'll known
business man told of an experience he
had in Wright's office, in which the
conduct of the candidate for mayor
was not above criticism
1.-The business man had been appealed
to by a man from out of town, who
had been robbed in one of the East
Third street big mitt joints The bust
ness man thought he would go to the
mayor direct, hoping to get better re-
suits by pursuing this course. Just as
the last of the story had been told to
Wright in walked the then chief of
police.
See here said Wright to the chief,
this man has been robbed in one of
those places on Third street.
This would indicate, that Wright
was aware of the existence of the big
mitt joints, but did not seem to be
angered at the fact that they were per-
mitted to run. After hearing this / am

REPUBLICAN WORKERS
WATCHING EACH OTHER
Disappointed Committeeman Are Be-
ginning to Suspect Fellow Members.

Anything but peace prevails in the
Republican campaign committee The
fealty of several members of the COM
mittee has been openly questioned in
the meetings, with the result that
there is much bitterness.
Why" said one of the members of
the committee, 81 was called onto the
carpet and charged with disloyalty.
When l asked that something definite
be charged, I was told that upon sew
eral occasions | had been seen talking
with Democrats, and that, as the Sc
crets of the committee had afterwards
been made public, I was suspected of
having divulged.'
Jake Stadfeldt has been engaged to
watch those suspected, and has already
reported what he regards as suspicious
circumstances in several cases. Stad-
feldt is being given this preliminary
training, with the idea that he will be
made a detective if the Republicans
win. His success as a HawkshaW is
openly commended by the members Of
the committee in whose employ he has
been for some days.

years ago, using from fifteen to twenty
precincts, taken at random, for the
purpose. The per cent of the losses
and gains in these precincts will be
carried out throughout the city with
little deviation. The result can be
figured in this manner almost to a GER
tainty, and there will be no reason to
worry after the first few precincts
have made returns.
If, for instance, the first fifteen pre-
cincts heard from give Mayor Smith
the vote they did two years ago, or
increase his vote, his election is GER
tain. If his plurality should be re-
duced the percentage of the reduction
applied to the entire vote of the city
will come within a few votes of show
ing the result This plan has been
tried in previous elections and has al
ways proven reliable.

FOR COL. WRIGHT

fiuenCes He Complains of.

Mayor Smith grew 'caustic in his
speech in Federation hall last even
ing, when he appeared before a gath
ering Of Hebrews, the meeting being
held under the auspices of the West
Side Independent Order of Birth Abra-
ham. The mayor was greeted with
loud applause when he appeared, and
said in part:
"Mr. Wright, who is the candidate
against me, says that he was offered
$1,000 a month if he would permit
gambling while he was mayor. Through
a friend he was offered another $10,-
900, making in all $4,000 to let the
game of-what is it you call it"
Policy" called a number of persons
in the audience.
Eyes, that's it, To let the game of
policy run. That must have been
great temptation-a greater temptation
than any other mayor Of the city has
been subjected to. 1t would be too
bad if he should again be laid open
to such offers. 1t would be best to
allow him to remain down on Fifth
street in the paper store. It would be
wrong and even dangerous to bring
him up to the city hall and again have
MN subjected to such gross insults"
IIS IIdyOE T6du from sermons de-
llVered While Wright was mayor show
ing that the present Republican can
d1date did not stand well with the
churches. Quotations were made from
the sermons of Rev. Frank DOran and
DR.. 5. @. Smith, in which it was
claimed that there was gambling, pros
titution and other species Of offense
common in the city, and also asserted
that the police protection was made
quate to protect life and DrOnertv

and during lecture to his class one
day, said: After making extensive OBJ
serVations in different sections of the
country, l am compelled to admit that
st. Paul is one of the best governed
municipalities in the world"
L. r. Kane made an eloquent plea
for the Democratic ticket, contending
that the party really made ST. Paul
what 1T is, and that the city has al
ways been more prosperous under
Democratic rule. He went into the
school question, showing that during
the six years that Smith was MAYOR
$4,000 was spent on permanent
school improvements; $4,000 was
spent for the same purpose while Doran
was in office, and $4,000 during Kie-

JOHN H. ALLEN DEAD
Well Known Wholesale Grocer
Passes Away.

John H. Allen, a well-knOwn bust
ness man of st. Paul and a member Of
the park board, died yesterday after
noon at his residence, 335 Summit
avenue, from an illness with which he
had been suffering for over two years.
Though ailing, Mr.. Allen was able to
remain at his work till the middle of
last December, when he left for Cali
fornia. He returned to this city three
weeks ago, and had been confined to
his bed ever since, sinking gradually
till he died.
Retaining consciousness to the last,
Mr.. Allen was able to bid farewell to
his family and relatives, who were
present at his bedside when his death
occurred at 4 o'clock. The cause of his
death was cirrhoSis of the liver.
Mr.. Allen was in the wholesale gro
Gerry business in ST. Paul for nearly
forty years, coming here Immediately
after the close of the Civil war Born
June "a, 1888, at Galena, ILL.,, he was
brought up in Illinois and had his
first business experience in Chicago as
druggist. At the outbreak of the
Civil war he was member of the

stoned as an officer. On account of
illness with which he was stricken at

years, till 1885, when the firm of Allen

LUXEMBERGERS FAIL
TO HELP REPUBLICANS
Plan to Have Ticket Endorsed Turned
Down at Mozart Hall Meeting.

1t was expected by the Republicans
that the LuXemberger society, at the
monthly meeting held yesterday
would take dip into politics, prom
Use to this effect having been made the
Republican campaign committee.
No action was attempted, it being
evident that those favoring such a
movement were decidedly in the mi
nOrity. The usual routine business
was rushed through, after which there
was singing and other social features.
Speaking of the efforts of the Repub-
hcans to have their ticket Endorsed a
member Of the society said:
1--WE realize that quite an effort was
made by the Republicans, but there
was at no time any likelihood of ac-
ton being taken. This society does
not make political Endorsements, and
if a proposition had been made it
would have been ruled out of order"

DEMOCRATS PLEASED
WITH REGISTRATION
Claim Large Portion of increase
Was Due to Work of Cam.
pdign Committee.

At the Democratic headquarters yes
terday the utmost satisfaction was ex-
pressed as to the outcome of Satur-
days registration, this statement be-
ing made on the strength of the reports
received from the precinct workers:
There is no doubt that a considera-
bic portion of the increased registra-
ton was due to the efforts Of the DEM
ocratic campaign committee. This is
shown by the fact that the Republicans
did not attempt to cover the city, there
being only here and there an individual
hustler who got out a few extra votes.
A fair sample of what occurred may
be observed by the conditions in the
Tenth ward, where both parties were
making an effort to get out the vote.
It is known that the Republican car
riage did not take one voter in to three
carried by the Democratic conveyance.
The same facts were true in other sec
lions Of the city.
THE Republicans are figuring upon
a big majority in the First ward, but
our returns show that they will be dis
appointed. There was an increased
registration Of 1877, but this was large
~ brought out by the Democrats. 1t
is figured that it Will be impossible for
the Republicans to carry the ward by
more than 500. The increase in the
Seventh ward is so small that it will
make but little difference, and is in
significant in view of the fact that the
principal effort made by the Republic
ans to get out their vote was in this
ward.
Victory Promised Democrats.
Throughout the figures indicate a
Democratic victory by a pronounced
majority. Our workers report that
many Republicans who did not care
to vote in the primaries made the state
ment that they were registering for the
purpose of voting for Mayor Smith.
Our reports also indicate that Kiefer
will be one Of the worst defeated men
on the ticket. There was considerable
talk around the polling places to the
effect that Kiefer is not only incOmpe-
tent, but is not a citizen of the city,
and therefore not entitled to hold an
important office. 1t is evident that this
feeling is growing, and that when the
election is held it will have become a
positive factor that will cause Kiefer
to be retired to private life.
lotto Bremen has a WalkaWay for
city treasurer, being practically with
out opposition. Even in the First ward,
where Hedman is supposed to be pop
ular, it was found that he is a compare
tive stranger, never having associated
with the people ofmthe section.
CAS- to the city council, there is every
indication that the Democrats will
gain one or two votes as to the board
of aldermen, and likely carry the en-
tire assembly ticket. Throughout the
reports are most encouraging to the
Democrats, and will cause the last end
of the campaign to become an en-
thusiastic march to victory"

citizen, but persists in using the priVi-
leges furnished by our money. l have
not paid all my assessment and do
not propose to do so if it is to be used
to boom Kiefer, who is well fixed
financially and should be willing to
make a large contribution to the cam
paign fund"
The efforts of the Republican CAM
paign committee to save Kiefer from
the wreck has directed attention to
the candidate for comptroller, other
wise the city bookkeeper, with the re-
suit that it has been discovered that
he knows nothing about bookkeeping.
1t has been commented that it would
be strange if the voters should elect
man to such an important office who
is incapable of doing the work and
should be compelled to depend upon
Subordinates.
