Democrats al TomorroW's
Primaries.
THE ANTI-LooNKY SELECTIONS
Representative Men Chosen for In
dOrsement for All Places
of Homer.

Democrats all over the city are get
ting together in their respective wards
and organizing against Looneyism in
party control. In the First, Second,
Third and Fourth wards preliminary
caucuses have already been held. at
tended by old-time representative
democrats who have become thor
oughly aroused to the situation and
the peril to the party unless it asserts
itself in q manner not to be mis-
taken. The result is that pronounced
anti-LoOney aldcrmanic candidates,
delegates and committeeman are be-
ing selected, and representative dem
ocrats have pledged themselves TO not
only turn out and vote at the pri-
maries tomorrow. but many of them
have signified their intention to remain
at their primaries throughout the
proceeding and sec 10 it that fair play
is insured.
Democrats in the various wards should
remember that the lists of aldermanic
candidates, delegates and committee
men thus given are submitted for
their approval at the primaries to-
morrow. They are the anti-Looney
selections, and as such should be in
dorsed. Democrats in all the wards
cannot exercise too much care in vot-
ing the right tickets al the primaries
which are to be held between the
hours of ) and 7:3O p. IN. The places
of holding the primaries in the differ
ent wards are stated in the call APP
