POLITICAL POINTERS
velsrs oi ibs Fourth and FInh
 Wsr1 VIII Meet Te.s,shi.

The voters of the fifth ward will meet this evening In room 21 of the Holohan building. South Main street. All the voters of the ward who have an interest in the local politics and municipal matters are requested to be on hand at , o'clock, as the ticket will be made up that will be presented at the primaries next Friday afternoon.
 It is not probable there will be more than one ticket in the fourth ward at the coming democratic primaries. There appears to be no opposition to the administration ticket. A meeting will be held to- night to name a ticket. The meet ing will be held in room 23, Holohan block. South Main street. The dem ocrats of the fourth are in readi- ness to work tooth and nall for the success of the state and national tickets in the fall and the ward VIII undoubtedly give the ticket hand- some vote.
 Mayor" Slater of Wolcott who brides himself on being war horse democrat, says he never voted for Bryan and he doesn't think he will do so this time; neither will he sup port Taft. MT Slater is fine old gentleman and boasts of having sup ported the democratic ticket contin- uously for over half century. Hold on, your honor, on your own evidence you are convicted of making false statements and you will have to ex- plain or run chances of being called liar as you state George Lilley was dubbed by a congressnal committee. A man who claims to be democrat, but does not stand by His party's guns when the fight is on is rather pe- culiar disciple of democracy. William Jennings Bryan is a democrat and was his party's candidate for presi- dent at two national elections. You didn't vote for him MT Mayor" which is tantomount to admitting that you helped the other fellow. It is democrats of your type that keeps the g. 0. p. at the helm all the time. Come, MT Mayor" Slater, make amends for the misdeeds of the past by coming out flatfooted for Bryan this trip and getting as many as possible to follow suit. If not we'll stump Wolcott at the next city election and bury you so deep that your friends will not find you for years.
