 Is Elected Mayor-A Turkey Feed
 Without the Turkey.
 While a black and white orchestra perapired. while all the sentimental songs popular in the last decade were "sung" and while Thomas ('Tfppy') Fay orated from the platform, the Expressmen's union, Ink, held forth ill Bardeck's hall last evening at one of their big turkey suppers. Alas. the turkey existed only in the fertile i'm agination of the Hon. "Tippy" But of other good things there were aplen- ty and all one had to do to get some was to sit quietly. while the walters passed through the throng.
 The big speaker of the occasion was Tax Collector Howard M. Steele, candidate for the republican nomina- tion for mayor. Next to the feadliners came a dazzling array of lesser stars, some of whom showed their lusterg
