rounded.
You've got to talk politics." he
was told.
The men wouldn't let him go, so
for an hour Mr.. Earle discussed De-
troit's future and the part which he
would like to play In II.
In the evening Mr.. Earle attended
the meeting OF the Newsboys' asso-
citation. and when that was well I'M
der way he slipped out and went to
Freedman's hall, Hastings and Sher-
man-sts., where q Jewish political
meeting was In progress.

make II worth while for him to get
votes for the aldermanic candidates.
II told him that | would not buy
votes In any way" said Mr.. Cohen,
and the crowd cheered.
Mr.. Cohen assailed the record of
men of high position In both old par
ties.
Senator Townsend was elected as
progressive statesman" he said.
He Is the worst stand-patter In the
senate. He In worse than Smith, be-
cause Smith has seen that Taft IL a
dead one and has lost enthusiasm for
him.
in Detroit we have the same situa-
ton In the mayoralty campaign as
exists in the campaign for the pres,
idency. We have In ONCE a man who
has made promises for 20 years and
who has never kept them. Do you
really think that he will keep the
Years? His past record proves that
he will not. He has spent all his
|. time In office building up q rotten
political machine.
Mr. Marx, or his friends, are
spending $4,000 to $4,000 to get
him elected They are spending mon.
ey for big vaudeville show Monday
night. with which to buy votes They
are willing to spend any amount TO
buy the office for Mr.. Marx. Even
the Marx newspapers admits that
Marx has q strong machine behind
him.
Earle has no machine, but he has
the best record OF the three candi
dates. II IL time We disregarded
party politics and stood for the man
with record"
Mr.. Earle's name was received with
great applause. The mayoral candi-
date spoke for half an hour and did
not mention local issues. He praised
Col. Roosevelt, told how the Progress
sive party stands for human rights,
and spoke Of his own notion OF an
: ideal man. II was the one hundred
and eightieth speech that Mr.. Earle
had made In the campaign. and by far
the most eloquent. He was cheered to
the echo.
On Saturday night. Mr.. Earle
startled Fort-st. Shortly after 1850
voice began speaking somewhere
over the heads OF the people. The
crowd stopped and craned their necks,
and finally the sharper-sighted made
out a man on the third-noor balcony
OF the Hammond building, who was
speaking through q megaphone.
When his speech was over, Mr.
Earle came down and was escorted
by a cheering crowd of newsboys TO
the Woodward-ave. steps Of the city
nall, where he addressed about 500
people. He was greeted with hearty
cheers. Two newsboys brought a
huge picture. OF Earle from the Pro-
gressive headquarters. and set II up
on the steps behind him Afr. Earle
talked OF bigger, better Detroit
under n new charter and with the
two city hail machines smashed by
the votes Of patriotic citizens.
