DEMANDS ARE MET.
The back boys at the works OF the J. g.

and I'm all probability the mill will be

leave the management attempted TO get
other boys TO take their places and II was

MUST TAKE BACK SEAT.
According to the story that Is now GO
ing the rounds Alderman Felix z. Ben
nett OF the Fifth ward. after four years
OF service for the Republican machine
during which he has always been ready
TO do anything that was asked Of him
got TO take a back seat this year. The
machine hopes he will retire grace
fully" and make no trouble I'm doing IL
but IL he should happen To fail to see
the logic of the situation and conclude
that he wanted TO make a try for the
place why then a club will be used and
he will retire just the same. Alderman
Bennett is wondering just what he has
done TO deserve this treatment He can
not think OF anything that the machine
has asked that he has failed to do He
never has questioned the wisdom of any
mo rtfhf hfTh ha
He has voted just right on every meas
ure and now he is told that he must step
down and out while Councilman LHeur-
eux Is sent up To the upper Sranch OF the
city council.
Mr.. Bennett looks over the list of al
dermen which this city has had I'm past
years and realizes that after a man has
served his term In the board and return
ed TO private life he has been quickly
forgotten by the general public so that
he realizes that his career as a public
man is about to finish. IL makes him sad
but he will probably bow to the inevita-
BILE.

ward Smith this morning all OF the LIQUOR

vas done at the request of the license
