GET A
FROST IN THIRD WARD
Barely Fifty Men Including the Party
Candidates Turn Outfon Meeting in
Columbia Hall Seating 800.

There was such a chill at the re-
publican mass meeting in Kish's Col
umbia hall on State street last night
that it might be termed a frost. The
meeting was for the purpose of ex-
planning good government" to the
Hungarian voters of the city and un-
der the auspices of the Hungarian Re-
publican Club plans were made to
hold a Tousing session.
DR.. Michael Singer, of New York,
was secured to speak in Hungarian
and was on hand at O'Clock, but at
that hour there was not over ten peo-
pie in the place, and most of them
were Americans. DR.. Singer is edit
or of Hungarian newspaper, which
is largely read by the foreign element
in this city and for that reason 1t was
expected that there would be a large

harmony meeting, which men,
bers of the Italian-American Citi-
zens' Club and those Of a new Ital-
ian club about to be formed, will

purpose of uniting two factions of
Italians who have been at odds for
some time. The object of the gath
ering will be to form one organiza-
tion of all the Italian voters in the
city.
The Italian-Ameriean Citizens
Club has been in existence for some
time and has already endorsed a few

NAMES OF
CONTESTANTS
will Be Published Every Day Be-
ginning Monday Raca for
Evening N ws Prizes.
ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS COUNT

Seldom before have contestants
shown so much interrst as is man
fested in the race for the EVENING
NEWS cash prizes which is now on.
Every contestant will be interested
in the announcement that all sub
scriptions, whether new ones or re-
newals, will count. This change is
made because of the difficulty in de-
Gliding just what constitutes a new
subscriber. We want to be fair to
everyone and as some question has
arisen We fear that should we decide
that one is a new subscriber and
someone else should have had a sim
liar case but had not brought it in
thinking it was not a new one, there
would be trouble at the end. We
therefore will make the counts as
announced for all subscriptions paid
In advance, whether new or renew
ais.
Beginning Monday. we are going
to publish the names of the contest
ants every day and together with the
number of votes each one has receiv-
ed. This is bound to add interest to
the contest. You ought to have
your name in when the list is pub
lished for the first time. 1t will help
you start right and you can keep up
with the running so that when the
squirting is done at the close you will
be ready to make every vote count.
