Ryan, Democrat.
Thirty.nfth ward. John Q. Clark.
Democrat.
Poor but honest men who have add.
! ed to their modest incomes In the past
by acting 40 judges Of election are to
be superseded In every possible IN.
stance by millionaires.
This Is in accordance with the or.
ders Of the Harrison board Of elec.
tion commissioners which 10 now en-
gagged in showing OF.
Like the historic monkey climbing
q pole, the higher It climbs the more
It shows Of Harrison.
| The poor but honest voters Of Chi
cag0 deeply resent this last Harrison
Ian insult.
Harrison is an aristocrat by train.
Ing and by instinct.
He inherited his wealth.
He never did hard days work
outside OF ONCE holding In his life.
No wonder then that he prefers
aristocrats to poor men for Judges Of
election.
Two hundred men Of wealth have al.
ready been summoned by the Harri.
son election board to take the places
Of poor but respectable men recon.
mended by the regular Democratic or
ganization.
The Harrison election board will
stick to it, fad and will supplant
every poor man election Judge with
rich man whenever II 70 possible.
Mr.. Graham issued statement
dealing with the campaign Of the aa.
ti.saloon forces to make Chicago dry.
II have taken occasion several
times to assert that I believed in per.
sonal liberty In Its broadcast sense"
said MIR. Graham. in view Of these
statements It goes without saying
that am unalterably opposed to the
effort to make Chicago dry territory.
and that the influence which will OK.
ert when I am elected mayor will be
against such attempts.
Before any such revolutionary
project should be submitted to the
people the greatest care should be
taken to see that the petition which
calls for its presentation 10 genuine.
for to bring 1t before the people nj
the present time in . mayoralty cam.
paign IL apt to confuse the issues and
prevent the subject being given the
consideration II deserves"
There is no scarcity In the crop of
Aldermanic candidates this year.
10 the Democratic party to be de-
prived Of all representation among
the judges of election? This 10 too
. much even for . Harrison move.
The hotel politicians will get left
in this fight. They put too much con-
fidence in "gum.shoe" methods and
are losing friends every day. Robert
r. Burke can use red-hot.lacer tc
great perfection when he wants man
to carry water on both shoulders in
outlying wards and he seems to have
no trouble in picking them up.
Harrison men swear that they vii
!. break up the United Societies unlesi
they endorse their man for mayor
!, This Is nervy.
The Harrison barnacles can be
heard all over Chicago crying for their
long lost jobs.
The heart of Denis j. Swenie, the
veteran fire marshal. was broken wheI
Harrison removed him during his las
: administration: the heart of William
Musham, the veteran fireman who
: succeeded Swenie. was broken wheI
Harrison removed him. Both diet
= soon after their removal. But WHIT
knows how many hearts we're broker

Iroquois fire? The coroner's jury Il

and his building commissioner 10 tn,

}. The astonishing frauds which Al
derman Merriam end his commission
