Standing exactly on public questions
where he did two years ago, Mayor
Jacob Haussling last night announced
his candidacy for denomination in
letter to the Democratic County Com
mittee which had it's first meeting in
the present campaign. The Mayors
letter excited an enthusiasm that had
every indication of being genuinely
hearty. At the call of the chairman,
Tyler Parmly, three cheers for the
Mayor were given vociferously. Frank
M. McDermit offered motion that
the county committee iiadorse the
Mayor, but Chairman Parmly ruled the
proposition out of order because the
rules of the county committee prohibit
any Endorsement for local candidates.
Indications are that there will be no
other Democratic candidate to oppose
Mayor Haussling.
In the letter the Mayor gave short
summary of the work accomplished
during his administration and promised
a continuation of the policies he had
adopted, lending special Importance to
the principle of home rule in this city,
and concluding with the statement:
Mayors Declaration Cheered.
s'To assert that the people of this city
cannot deal successfully with these
questions is to doubt their morality, in
suit their Intelligence, and to deny their
capacity for seIf-government."
This sentiment evoked the greatest
applause, although the reading of the
letter by Secretary Washington Cross
had previously been interrupted by ap-
plause for other statements.
More enthusiasm was exhibited when
resolutions were adopted indorsing the
national ticket and calling on the men,
bers of the party to support the nomi-
nees, Bryan and Kern. The resolution
was presented by Benjamin Seligman,
of the Second Ward. 1t was as fol-
lows:
National Candidates IndOrsed.
Whereas, The Democracy of the
nation in general convention assembled
has placed before the voters of the
United States candidates for President
and Vice-President, William Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, and John w.
Kern, of Indiana,
"Be 1t resolved, That the Essex
County Democratic Committee indorses
the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, for President, and
John w. Kern, of Indiana, for Vice.
President of the United States, and
the platform of the Democratic party
adopted at Denver, and pledge the
candidates and the platform the hearty
support of the committee and the Dem
ocratic voters of Essex county.
"Be 1t further resolved, That copy
of this resolution be forwarded to
William Jennings Bryan and John w.
Kern"
Preparing for Primaries.
That there is considerable interest
In the work of the party was shown
by the reports from the wards and
townships. In all of them, it was an
nounced by the representatives, prepa-
rations for the primaries are under way
and a generally healthy condition of
affairs was said to exist.

quarters opened soon in store in
