sioner than a man with years OF ex.
perience who is devoting his time to
the work and depending on his pay

never be much Of success.

Endorsement by the Republican con-
vention followed. In the state house
OF representatives he was chairman 81
the labor committee and fought for
many bills in the interest of the work
! ingmen.
Joseph NJ Weiss has done an I'M

His legislative career has made him
known to the reading public. and his
civil service bill was supported by the
best elements Of the city.
| Thomas Farrell has not finished his
campaign for county clerk. The finish
will not come for him until the polls
close next Wednesday evening, and
| his hundreds OF friends will be busy
hustlng for him every minute until
then. He Is the betting favorite for
the place and the influential support
he has received makes the choice
seem a natural one.
