Carrying the war into the heart Of the
enemys country, Fred Hoye and several
OF the other candidates yesterday after
noon addressed strong republican
gathering OF the Lithuanian voters in the
Old Settlers hall at Thirty-siNth and =
streets.
The meeting was held in the Seventh
ward, which is admittedly one Of the
democratic strongholds and the local re-
/ publicans claim that there has never
been such an enthusiastic outpourins at
a republican meeting in that section.
Captain Lynch was chairman of the
meeting and introduced Judge Ben :
Baker, who emphasized that the repuo-
| lican candidates were friends OF labor. lie
/ showed that while Felix McShanc was
regarded as n good fellow by his
friends and intimates, his friends ana
ntimates had always been OF the gilded
youth, and not of the horny handed sons
of toll. The speaker In closing admonished
the laboring men to remember that cleo
ton day would show whether they were
true TO their own friends, or deluded by
those who had never protested or shown
their friendship until the days OF cam
paign.
Following Judge Bakers speech, the
chairman introduced Fred $. Hoye next
sheriff Of Douglas county. Hoye's APP
pearance on the platform was greeted
with applause and many Of those present
voiced their loyalty to him and the ticket
Hoye Makes Address.
Mr.. 1Ioye recalled tnat the first posi-
ton ever held by him was that OF
laborer in a packing house. lie recounted
Il - Il al
struggle of his life, when, as a boy, he
had been forced to spend in toll the days
and hours that other boys had been
privileged to spend in the school room.
For fifteen years he said he had carried
the hod and worked on the wall as a
bricklayer With the assistance OF the
tried workmen with whom he had sur
rounded himself he had risen to be a
contractor who never forgot that he was
first a laboring man.
Hoye asked the audience II they, in
their good Judgment, could afford to elect
TO office McShane, young man. rich
man, a man who had never been forced
to look at a dollar from the wage-earner' $
point of view.
The speaker concluded by telling the
audience that he had come TO talk TO them
i'm the plain blunt speech as one man to
another. He had not sought TO influence
them by the use of high sounding terms
or lurid rhetoric. Just as one friend Of
labor to another ne asked their vote at
election.
Hoye's speech was listened to atten-
lively by those who were present and
his emphasis on his fealty to labor won
much applause.
