P. H. Mccarthy. union labor can
didste for mayor. will FIRE the first
big gun of the campaign tomorrow
night, but the cannonading will not
become general until next week, when
the Taylor and Ryan campaigns will
'be launched and steamed up under a
forced drsught, which will be main
tanned until the eve of election.
Ryan may open his campaign on
Saturday night, but unless he changes
his mind meanwhile, he will not
make his keynote speech until next
Monday night. The democrats are not
expected TO open their campaign for
Taylor and the combination ticket un-
I'll next week. and DR. Taylor will
open his own campaign under the aus
pices OF the Good Government league
on Saturday. October 10.
The delay in setting the Taylor and
Ryan campaigns in motion is due to
several causes. Neither the democrats
nor republicans have completed their
campaign organizations and the Good
Government league campaign man
ayers are preparing TO depart from
the conventional campaign tactics.
COMPLETING ORGANIZATION
The democrats viii compl4e the or
Canization Of their committee tonight
and Thomas ". Hickey viii remain at
its head as chairman of the city and
county organization. Ryan's organ
ization viii probably be completed to-
night by the appointment of a cam
paign committee and a finance commit
tee. and the formal Organization Of the
new city and county committee. The
campaign and finance committees Will
be chosen by Ryan himself and will be
small bodies. probably consisting Of
five or seven members each.
Ryan devoted himself last night to a
canvass Of a list Of names from which
he viii make his selections. which will
be announced upon the acceptances OF
the appointees. i. II. Dam of the thir-
tho chairman of the city and county
committee with its reduced member

belief, 7 an convinced that Perry II.
Newberry, secretary Of the Regular
Republican league. viii not he the sec
retary of the county committee nor Of
the campaign committee He will. of
course, be actively identified with
Rysn's campaign, but the honors that
attach to official designations will be
given out to the boys whose political
compensations never get beyond the
right TO do a lot OF hard work for the
cause.
Many OF the men associated with the
republican campaign are anxious TO
break into the hustings game imme-
diately, but they probably will be
forced TO defer TO Ryan's wishes, and
he does not care TO take the stump
until his campaign arrangements are
complete. II Is his intention to keep
up q continuous fire from the time of
his first speech until the polls open.
and he thinks three full weeks quite
enough of that sort of thing.
BIG MEETINGS FOR TAYLOR
So far as it has crystallized the demo-
cratic idea OF the Taylor caRpaign is to
have the mayor appear at only two big
meetings. one at the opening and one
at the close of the campaign. The
Good Government league, which will
conduct its campaign for Taylor, Lang
don and the combination ticket quite
ind ependently of the democratic or
ganization, has tentatively arranged
for two big Taylor meetings. but also
intends TO have the mayor appear for
short speeches at different district
meetings throughout the campaign. II

This meeting may be held at the Audi
