A pitiful whine for help has come
from the mouthpiece of the local Re
publican party. Whether it is voicing
the sentiments of that once arrogant,
and oficious body, cannot be learned,
but the chances are that the idea de-
veloped in the bean Of the editor of
the "Ranting Rag" After years of
imposition upon the Democrats in this
city, the Times" has the. colossal
nerve to ask them to coalesce. with
the Republicans to beat the Socialists
at the next election. If they succeed
in getting the consent of the DENIES"
to form the, combination, then they
will suggest that "Brudda Sylyest" Cat

they wish the city government taken
away from the horrid horny-handed
municipal reins, and be returned to
the eminent respectables" to whom,
as they say, it rightfully belongs. In

anyhow, blood is thicker than water.

suggested fusion ticket last election,
which the Repubs shifted at. A coali-
ton ticket would mean the self ap-

double party suicide. i is far better
for party to have their influence
used against them, as their tactics are
disapproved by every one who stands

possibly be a chance for SThe Out

CUBS MUST PLAY
ON L GROUNDS

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Because Presi-
dent Charles Murphy has not secured
81 permit to build a new park, the
Cubs will perform next season at the
old stand. AS there is a law forbid
ding an amusement enterprise from
being conducted within a certain dis
tance. from a hospital. and as the
present park Is within fifty feet of tho
Cook County Hospital. the Cub mag
nate. it is said. has been unable to Sc
cure the necessary documents for the
reconstruction of the plant.
The west side magnate, while in the
S a few days ago. looked over the
new Brooklyn park to obtain some
IDEAS for the construction Of his
stands. He declares that he now has
new plans and it will take two or
three months before the specifications
are drawn up. AS this will be too late
to start building and have the plant
in readiness for the opening of the
season, there will be no new park on
the west side in 1913.
Before he left for the coast. former
Manager Frank Chance wanted to
wager some money that Murphy would
not break ground for q new plant
this year. The Peerless Leader as
serted the Cub boss never had any in
tentions Of building for another year,
at least, and the magnate's announce
ment bears. Chance out in this state
