ITO the Democratic Voters and Citizens

Your attention is again called to the
deplorable condition OF affairs that exists
I'm the Ninth ward and your cooperation
is earnestly sought by the Jefferson club
I'm order to alleviate the conditions which
now exist and have existed for a long
period Of time because Of the apathy on
the part OF the Democratic voters and
citizens In neglecting TO attend and exer-
else their right OF suffrage at the Demo-
cratic caucuses.
THE Jefferson club Is composed OF
representative citizens OF the ward and
was formed last May. Its object is TO
further the interests OF the Democratic
voters and citizens and TO oust from
control the disreputable element that have
dsgraced the Democratic party and the
citizens Of the ward by their conduct and
their methods.
THE present regime I'm control Of the
Democratic ward committee Democrats,
so calledl have been kept I'm control by
the board OF canvassers and the police.
Ballot box stuffng and other illegal acts
on their part has been the means by
which the present regime has been held
I'm power. and they have been openly and
publicly supported by the police and the
board OF cauyassers.
The Jefferson club at the next Demo-
cratic caucus will present TO the voters
Of the ward n ticket OF representative
men, and asks your assistance and sup
port for the success of the ticket. The
success Of the ticket means the elimina-
ton from the Democratic ranks OF that
element which is doing the bidding Of the
bosses of the Republican machine.
1T is urgent that you and your friends
should attend the caucus in the interest
Of decency and good government Of the
Ninth ward and vote for the ticket pre-
sented by the Jefferson club.
