or 25S Republican ward workers,
representing about 100 OF the 1876 pre-
cincts In the city, who have been
called I'm by Hugh Shepherd, presi-
! dent OF the Wayne County Republican
/ club, within the past few days. TO re-
1 port on conditions, every last man is
! for owens, according to Shepherd. All
| but one OF these 25S workers are
| pledged TO vote for DENLY for con-
gress and 80 per cent OF them profess
/ TO believe that he will win. Many OF
these workers are members OF the
various election boards.
Aid Heating is determined not to
be forgotten by the voters OF the
Fourth ward when they go into the
booth on election day. He has issued
campaign cards which are about three
times the length of the ordinary card,
with his name In letters an inch high.
John c. Nagel. chairman OF the
Democratic county committee, ID
sending out several thousand letters
to voters throughout Wayne county,
urging them TO support the Demo
cratic county and state tickets. He
argues that there should be a change
in the county as we'll as I'm the state
office.
Proctor X. Owens political stock
appears TO be slumping as the cam
paign nears its end. His continual
TRADE OF abuse is beginning TO react
in some quarters and the shallowness
of some of his arguments is also cost
ing him votes. In an effort TO arouse
enthusiasm, Wednesday night, he
wildly assailed "autocracy, plutocracy
and greed" but drew only laughter
for the most part, He gradually cool
ed or, however, and by the time he
reached Wheelmans hall, where 400
members were gathered for a social
/ time. he was ready TO discuss the is
sues OF the campaign in a cool and
temperate manner. He was well re-
ceived by the Wheelmen and made
good speech. Sheriff CASTOR and City
! Clerk Nichols were among the other
! candidates present as invited guests
OF the club

Far from breaking down party

The most effective campaign dodge
Yet hit upon by Proctor X. Owens is
one-page circular, on which is
printed conspicuously a strip OF 10
for-a-quarter tickets such as the D.
Z. X. offered for time as a part of
It's campaign OF education In behalf OF
the Codd-Hutchins franchise. The
reading matter calls attention to the
fact that the people might be using
these tickets today had II not been
for the opposition OF William Is
Thompson. Owens and his workers
have distributed thousands of these
circulars among the workingmen and
they are attracting no little attention.
The circular concludes: I'VE will
never be able to get another franchise
equal to the Codd-Hutchins franchise.
therefore municipal ownership of the
street railways seems TO be the only
way now to settle this problem. Mr..
Owens has been an advocate OF this
plan for years"
