for Evils Consists Of.

With Chauncey NJ. Depew and Louis
V. Aronson leading the list OF speak
ers. the Republican County Central
Committee fired its first big guns in
the campaign last night at Kruessr
Auditorium. The hall was nearly filled
and the gathering at times waxed en-
thusiastic.

he was given a great ovation. He
began his address by saying that he
wanted to speak a word or two in
behalf Of those who were running
with him on the city ticket. For you
all know" said he, I'VE want to wrest
control of our city administration
from the Democratic machine"
He said:
Suppose, for sake of argument,
our Board of Works candidates should
be defeated. That would leave one
solitary Republican in the board
againstfon Democrats, enough OF a
Democratic majority to override the
veto of a Republican mayor.

see the imminent danger in such a
condition. Independent voters are be-
coming aroused because OF the
menace that confronts them and are
preparing to do what they can to pre-
vent the Board of Works from becom-
ing. like the Common Council. a mere
tool in the hands of the Democratic
politicians. DO you know why the
Progressfves didn't put anv candi-
dates in the field for city office? Be-
cause they thoroughly realized the
existing evils in our present admin
istration and didn't want to impose
the slightest handicap upon the effort
to overthrow the Democratic machine.
