| Charles Bendheim. chairman Of the city
| democratic committee, referring to the
election the first Monday of next month
for representative in Congress from the
] eighth district, a state senator and dele
gate to the house of representatives, said
| today that the city democratic committee
| has perfected arrangements to bring out a
| large vote. The apathy which has here
] tofore prevailed in elections where there
, was no serious opposition to the democratic
candidates. he added, will in this contest
be entirely overcome. The committee will
endeavor to bring out the votes by having
speeches made throughout the district by
the nominees. Arrangements have been
made for series Of speeches by the re-
spective candidates at the opera house in
this city and elsewhere.
There is not the slightest doubt in my
mind. Mr. Bendheim added that all the
democratic nominees will be elected but as
we have some little opposition think it is
only right and proper that we should en-
deaVor to forestall anything the republicans
may do by bringing out big vote
Arrested on Suspicion.
