SURPRISE THEIR PASTOR


Monday evenings have been set

toner's of the First Congregational
church by their pastor, Rev. Clement

day evening large number Of his
congregation gathered in front of his
home, COL Sixth street Sc, and carried.
out a well-planned surprise party, call
ing in group of about 300 and spend
ing the evening pleasantly with their
pastor. The party was, given as an
evidence Of Fellowship and cheer
and was the outcome Of the many meet
ings during the past two weeks, which
have in q great degree brought the
members Of the church and the pastors
into closer touch than ever before.
There was no regular program, but

all renewed old acquaintances and as

Over Mayorality charges trickery
in connection with
the count, and has announced that he
will run as an independent candidate.
On the face of this it would appear that
the election of John F. Fitzgerald was
assured, and it has been even intimated
that the democratic candidate knows
something about the source of Judge
Dewey's campaign funds, which the lat
ter has declared amount to at least $780,
900. AS Judge Dewey's popularity is
very largely among democrats, it is OK
pected that if any such arrangement
has been made it will react on election
day. All Of which speculation is adding
to the interest of the contest. One of
the first breaks made by Judge Dewey's
advisors was to announce large meet
ing in Mechanics building, at which
the speakers would be District Attor-
ney-elect John B. Moran and District
Attorney jerome Of New York. Judge
Dewey had hoped to secure these, but
the premature announcement of his
plans and denials from both men came
