Mayor Present at 9Th Ward
Democratic Meeting.
Or. RAMSAY SPEAKS

Sweet music has charms, as every
one knows, but last night the power
OF harmonious tones must have been
unusually strong, as the sound of a
band drew William H. Fullerton, the
republican candidate for mayor, into
a rousing gathering of sixth ward
democrats in Garfield Hose Com
pany's house in Amboy avenue,
where he listened to his opponent,
Mayor Albert Bollschweiler, speak.
Mr.. Fullerton, who stood with Mag
nus G. Larson, former school COM
missioner and a prominent sixth
ward republican, In the rear of the
place while the mayor and DR.. Will
liam e. Ramsay, democratic candi-
date for the assembly, delivered
addresses, told a NEWS man that he
was there by accident. I'VE heard
the band playing" he said, land
went inside to see what was doing.
We didn't know it was a democratic
meeting"
When Mayor Bollschweiler arrived
at the meeting, accompanied by DR..
William e. Ramsay, County Clerk
Bernard M. Cannon and City Collec-
tor Richard F. White, Mr.. Fullerton
was standing just inside the door
listening to Henry w. Kehoe, demo-
cratic candidate for recorder, speak.
He greeted the new arrivals and
shook hands with them. A few min
utes later Mr.. Bollschweiler, was
called upon to speak and cheers and
applause greeted him as he walked
to the front of the room. Mikolajc-

Mayor Makes Address.
In addressing the gathering the
mayor thanked the voters for the
support he received from the sixth
ward when elected for his first and
second terms. "If you think, gentle
men," he said, that l have done my
duty as chief executive of this city,
| would like your support ono more.
Someone said the other day Mayor
Bollschweiler has been a good mayor
for two terms, but he should step out
and give someone else a chance,
Now. gentlemen, If you buy meat
from a butcher and he always serves
you we'll and gives you what you ask
for, is that any reason why you
should stop trading at his store. That
seems to be my position. | have al
ways lived up to my promises, as you
well know, and if returned to office
again l will continue to serve as /
have in the past"
DIR. Ramsay Advises Boys.
g The address of the evening was
delivered by DR.. William f. Ramsay,
of this city, one of the three demo-
cratic assembly candidates. Noticing
that there were a number of boys
present, he addressed his remarks to
them for some time. He told them
how necessary It was for boys to
have political education as well as
the general branches, and advised
each n to talk to his father when
he went home on the subject. The
speaker added that in order to grow
up to good citizens every boy should
study the Issues of both parties so
that they would, when they reached
the legal age, be able to vote for the
party and men who would best serve
their interests. While a candidate
speaking to boys is something new
at local political meetings, the effect
of DR.. Ramsay's words were not
wasted, as the eager look on the
faces of his auditors indicated.
In speaking to the men DR.. Ram
say told of the extravaganza Of the
republican party and how 1t had ex-
hausted the state treasury by Great
ing a lot of useless Offices. He laud-
ed Woodrow Wilson, the democratic
candidate for governor, and declared
that he was, contrary to Infamous
stories manufactured in republican
headquarters, a friend Of the labor
ing man. DR.. Ramsay referred brief
ly to his own record in the assembly
and said that If reelected he would
continue to serve for the benefit of
the public. He said he vas a friend
of the laboring man and had, and
would In the future, always be mind
full of his interests. Cheers and ap-
plause followed.
The meeting was enthusiastic
throughout and there was hardly
available standing room In the place.
Dennis j. Flynn acted as chairman
and introduced the various candi-
dates and speakers.
