POLITICAL PoT-PIE

If the Democrats, the labor unions and the
Municipal advocates are not playing foxy
grandpa game on the Republicans then the
Pie-maker misses his guess. They have
caused the news to be spread throughout the
political circles Of the city that they would
not fuse, but would all go it alone in order
to throw the Republicans off their guard,
when every indication points to them en-
dorsing and supporting one man at the elec-
ton for the principal Offices. The combina-
tion hopes the Republicans will nominate
candidate for mayor that will be weak with
the people and then it will nominate or en-
dorse some man whom they believe will by
the united efforts of the anti-Republican
votes defeat the entire ticket Scott Cal
