ELECTRIC WIRING
DELAYS OPENING
EDISON COMPANY FAILS TO
FULFILL CONTRACT
Schools Ready for Occupancy Cannot
Be Used Until VsntiIating
Fans Are Fixed for
Operation

Failure of the Edison Electric COM
pany to wire several of the new schools,
which have been delayed so long, is re-
sponsible for the present unoccupied
condition of half dozen buildings. The
schools are ready for occupancy with
the exception of the heating apparatus.
In addition to the furnaces, the
schools are equipped with electric fans
which drive the warm air through the
buildings. Without these fans to keep
changing the air it becomes so bad as
to be unhealthful. Mr.. Monlux said
last night
Eyes, the failure of the Edison COM
pany to wire these schools has pre-
vented our opening them. 1t doesn't
bother them when they finish the job.
They are not anxious to live up to their
contract"
The schools affected are the Euclid,
Second Street, Hobart, Magnolia, Lo-
gan and Fifty-second Street. William
Downey the foreman of schools, said
last night: eff the Euclid and Second
Street schools were wired they could
be opened tomorrow. AS there are only
four more days of school before the
Christmas vacations we are not push
ing them very hard. The schools will
positively be opened when the rest of
the schools open, January q"
Some discussion arose over the heat
ing problem at the Fourteenth Street
school. The original specifications for
heating the building, as ordered by the
board of education, called for changing
the air every eight minutes. The Phil
lips Heating and Ventilating company
submitted plan of it's own to change
the air every twenty minutes, the plan
being accepted. Now Foreman Downey
claims that not even this agreement is
being lived up to. The air is bad and
complaints of suffering among the pu-
pills are frequent.
Joseph Scott declared:
"The children there are entitled to as
much consideration as those of any
other part of the city, and 1 am In
favor of doing something for them at
once'
Mr. Scott succeeded in passing a mo-
tion that the secretary be instructed
to secure a ruling from the city at
torney If there was any way by which
the board could enforce the penalties
of their broken contracts on some of
the recreant contractors who have been
derelict in their duty
The question was brought up as TO
whether the board was willing to go to
lawsuit to bring the contractors to
time, and Mr.. Scott declared that it
was about time they went to the bat
with some people.

Weary after two and a half hours
work on the canvass Of the~city cleo
tion returns, members of the council

recess until 10 o'clock this morning.
At this hour, and after they have
secured a nights rest to recuperate
from their two and a half hours labors,
the councilmen will begin the canvass
Of the returns of the city election.
Many people who were directly or in
directly Interested i'm the canvass
flocked into the council chamber early
in the afternoon. but as the council
proceeded with other business nearly
all the spectators disappeared before
the question of the canvass was taken
up.
There remained principally those who
are interested in the result in the Sec
ond ward, where it is charged that
fraud was committed in the contest for
councilman.
r.. A. Clampitt, who, on the face Of
the returns, was elected councilman
from the Second ward was there with
his manager and with whom he held
whispered conversations.
Van Degrift and Llssner There
A. S. Van Degrift, the non-partisan
nominee, was also present, and he con-
ferred with NJ. Lissner, secretary of the
ncn-partisan committee, who is guard
ing the interests of Mr.. Van Degrift
and gathering data with the expecta-
tion of securing an order of court for
a recount of the ballots in the Second
ward.
George Keym, the Democratic candi-
date, who, although acknowledging his
defeat, isdetermined upon securing an
honest count, was present with his
manager, =. A. Weiss, and Jack
Wright, secretary of the Republican
city central committee, remained until
the council voted to take a recess until
today.
Secretary Lissner and other members
of the non-partisan committee are
energetically at work securing evidence
on which to base a request for a re-
count, and it is reported that they have
been highly successful.
One man is said to have boasted of
the fact that in one of the precincts
of the Second ward twenty-six ballots
were lost to the non-partisans.
Those who are interested in an
honest count are determined not to
stop at a recount if fraud is shown,
but to go after the men responsible for
the affair.

tives sent from the central police sta

POLITICAL AND OTHER TRUTHS

1t is pretty well conceded that in
order to beat the Americans in this
county in the coming election there
will have to be flocking of the op-
position to either the Republican or
the Democratic ticket in other words
a concentration on one or the other
of those tickets. The Republicans
claim that their party is the logical
one with which to beat the "Ameri-
cans" for the following reasons:
The National administration, with
Theodore Roosevelt at it's head, Is with
the regular Republican organization,
and is opposed to the Kearns outfit.
The State and County administra-
lions are with the regular Republican
organization, and opposed to the
Kearns outfit.
The regular Republican organiza-
tons, nationally and locally, are in
perfect harmony with each other. They
present a force vastly greater than
either city or county with which to
war on the corrupt Kearns gang; for
they include State and National ad-
ministrative forces.
The Democrats have no administra-
tive power in State or Nation.
On the other hand the Democrats
claim they are the party with which
to beat the common enemy the Amer,
leans" and in substantiation Of their
claim they point to the figures Of the
municipal ELECTION of 1905 when the
votes Republicans polled only about g.
900 to nearly 5000 of the Democrats,
They also cite the dissentions which
Hoo nc
and which they argue will be carried
to the polls this year. The. Demo
Gratis claim they are the stronger and
that those who desire the defeat of the
Americans" to accomplish that end
must come to them. In the meantime
the Americans are confident that in
the absence of coalition they will
slide in as they did year ago.
- ~
There are those in the Republican
party who advocate the nomination on
the county and legislative tickets of
an overwhelming number of Gentiles
in order to induce the Republican
Gentiles who have gone over to the
Americans" to come back. 1t is ar
gued that the Mormons should vote
the Republican ticket anyway so as to
beat the Americans" who have made
it an anti-Mormon religious fight and
that the Mormons in self protection
are bound to get together irrespective
Of political Affiliations to down their
avowed enemies. The latter part OF
this proposition is alright. The fight
has been made on the Mormons with
out. cause and If they don't get togeth
er in defense of their rights they are
very foolish. AS to putting all or near

ly all Gentiles on the Republican tick
ct to catch American" votes we
haven't much faith in it. Very few
Americans" would be caught with
that bait Those in that party are too
ardent Mormon haters to be easily de-
Elected. They are prejudiced to such an
extent that they can't see anything but
bitter opposition to Mormons or to
anyone who is inclined to deal fairly
and justly with them. The Republi-
cans we believe would catch more
Democratic Mormon votes by dividing
the nominations equally between Nor
mons and Gentiles. By doing so we be-
lieve they would draw 10 Democratic
votes to one american" vote they
would catch by the other plan. Votes
are what counts in an election.

TO the holiday times of the past and
recall dear, old days now but fond
memories, when We too hung up our
stockings, when brothers and sisters,
cousins and other relatives, Joined the
merry crowd about the family board
which groaned with the good things
mother made. Time makes chan es

sadness connected with them when we
note the vacant chair and miss the
presence of it's one-time occupant. But
Christmas is intended to be time Of
rejoicing and it should be. We have
much to lie thankful for in this old
