dunn Of bill already passed by the State
legislature He urged all his hearers to
vote for the bill.

could be said against any candidate

one Of his Enthusiastically eloquent

urged his hearers to get out and hustle
for both the city and county tickets. He
created the impression that he will win
honors on the floor of the State Assem-

Mr.. Beisner, candidate for Alderman
from the Ninth Ward, was lifted to the
shoulders of mass Of friends who
fought for the honor and hustled on the
platform. He modestly said he had no
speech to make and left that matter to
John J. Ryan, who said many nice things
about Mr.. Beisner
James T. Fielder followed in an ex-
eellent address in which he discussed the
subject of equal taxation as he had
studied it as a member of the New Jer-
sey Assembly, and that was from the
Democratic standpoint of a strictly Dem

Eugene Y. Leake made quite a hit
when he remarked in the opening of a
really interesting address, in which he
discussed all the issues of the campaign,
that he, was glad to see "a few Demo-
Gratis" left in the Ninth Ward. Necks
were craned to size up the extent of the
audience and when it was found that
thousands were present there was wild
outburst of applause.
A. NJ. Henry, who is conducting a
strenuous campaign, arrived just in time
to say a few words to the audience.
He had covered several meetings and
was on his way to cover another. He
was warmly cheered and greatly pleased
at the ovation given him.
