voters who are living in another
precinct from that in which they ap-
pear as registered have but four days
to make the transfer before the regis
tration clerk, and if they fail to do this
they will lose their votes at the primary
election"
Ferdinand Parmentier for chief mem
Der of the board of public works is the
slate agreed on by w. C. Mushet, ac-
cording to statements made by mem
bers of the Liberal alliance at a meet
ing held by that body last night 1t
was intended primarily as a Mushet
meeting, and he spoke, being introduced
by Gesner Williams as the speaker of
the evening, but the gathering was in
reality an enthusiastic ovation for DR..
A. D. Houghton for the council Those
present yelled for DOC Houghton' un-
til he made a speech, and then yelled
themselves hoarse. Several other can
didates received hearty cheers, includ-
ing l. Margolis, Henry Lyon and w.
e. Mckee.
Mr.. Mckee, who is the regular Re
publican candidate for council from the
Second ward and is supposed to be
heart and soul for George A. Smith,
created some surprise by coming out
openly for Mr.. Mushet as his choice for
mayor. II am for the man you have
Endorsed for mayor" said Mr.. Mckee,
land indorse all he says"
Members of the Liberal alliance spoke
In behalf of different nationalities rep
resented in it's membership-Ferna
Parmentier for the French-speaking
voters, Oscar Norell for the Swedish
Hans Zoellner for the Germans, Henry
Xarstadt for the Dutch, Frank Herald
for the Irish and H. Von Meincke for
the Danish voters.
Mr.. Mushet thanked the Liberal alli-
ance for assurances he had received of
their support, and in return indorsed
the Liberal alliance views. He devoted
considerable time to answering the at
tacks made on his attitude regarding
the school bonds which he said had
made his blood boil.
IT was opposed to those bonds" he
said, mot because ] am opposed to the
school children, but because I did not
want an unnecessary burden on the
taxpayers of the city"
Mr.. Mushet said he wanted the board
of education to sell the Mercantile place
property, which he thought it had no
right to retain, and to turn the proceeds
into school expenditures instead of us
ing the income.
Gesner Williams, who presided, said
that the policy of the Liberal alliance
was emphatically for a fair trial of the
direct primary provision of the charter,
which he said the Republican party and
other candidates were not willing to
see. He called on H. H. Yonkin, Henry
Lyon and w. e. Mckee, straight tick
ct" men who were present, to stand
UP like men and come out against this
prostitution" | t they did not take
kindly to the suggestion and talked all
around it.
