day in a cheap lodging house at las South
Clark street.
He had been in straitened circumstances

caused the business interests identified
with the fair to look with disfavor upon
so gigantic an enterprise as that pro-
posed by Proctor The great tower which
was TO be 1000 feet higher than the Eiffel
tower at Paris, was not built.

SPICER DENOUNCES RING
THAT CONTROLS 9Th WARD
Explains Why He Accepts Democratic Nomination for Alderman
With Former Councilman John p Famsworth.

In a pubic statement defining his posi-
tion. Alderman William A. Spicer of the
Ninth ward tells just why he and ex-
Councilman John =. Farnsworth are on
the Democratic ticket nominated in the
Ninth ward last evening.
Mr.. Spicer says:
Many people will naturally inquire
why i. a lifelong Republican. have APP
parently suddenly deserted the party and
allowed my name TO head the Democratic
council ticket Those, however, VINO
not be surprised. For years the Republi-
can politics in the Ninth ward have been
run by little clique OF three or four
men, and the matter is so absolutely cut
and dried that most of the self-respect-
ing Republicans have refused simply 10
go through the notions and so very
few OF them havo attended the caucuses
in recent years.
..Tha-twa- controlling members ef-the
Republican ward committee. instigated
by the newspaper man who acts as the
self-const' 'tuted boss of the ward, are
united with the worst elements of the
Democracy led by Thomas j. Dorney, TO
deal out the Offices and to exploit the
ward solely for their own interests. The
better clasq OF Democrats, under the lead
ership OF DIR. Carroll. DIR. John III. Black
and Mayor McCarthy's secretary, Mr..
McCabe, have by persistent effort and
against the greatest odds defeated the
Dorneyites in their caucuses now Tor TWO
years in succession, but the fight Is not
yet ended
POLITICIANS DISGRACE WARD.
'It therefore becomes necessary for
those citizens who have the municipal
welfare sincerely at heart TO put aside
the mere question of party names and to
join in the endeavor TO restore represen-
tative government to the ward. Only by
continued united enort can we nope 20
win back the good name OF the ward and
10 prevent the continuance In power of
this little group OF politicians who have
disgraced IL for so long
After referring to one member OF the
ward committee who attempted to make a
deal with him two years ago, he says:

Now, i am not anxious To run again

leading citizens that / believe there are
a large majority OF the voters who are
In sympathy with me. I also am firmly
convinced that, In view OF the peculiar
alliance between the machine Republi-
cans and the Dorney men in this ward.
IL is necessary for the elements in both
parties who are opposed to the present
policy of dictation and misrule to get
together in order to overthrow them.
''Mr. John p Farnsworth, a former
Republican councilman. has had a similar
experience with the powers that be.
Last year there was a vacancy on the
Republican council ticket. and petit
ton, signed by about $50 of the leading
citizens, was presented TO the ward com
mittee, asking them 10 place Mr.. Farms
worths name in nomination. The com
mittee promptly threw the petition in the
waste basket and nominated another per.

agreed TO ally himself with this union
movement.

our friends not simply TO vote for us, but
TO vote and work for all our associates >

Efforts are still being made by the Re-

name.

adjourned caucus TO be held Saturday at
