ance being present, and the speakers
were given hearty welcome. Squire
Ben Schulman presided and in the
address of welcome called attention
to the showing made by the Fourth
and Fifth wards, from which the club
derives its membership, and also
stated that their ranks were increas-
ing daily through a systematic can
vass of the district by the club Off
GERS, hoping thereby to make a
strong permanent organization.
Mayor John H. Buschemeyer was
the first speaker called upon, and
paid high compliment to the Dis
trict leader, John ]. Barry, for his
untiring work and energy in behalf
of the Democratic party in that sec
tion. He would always be grateful
for the splendid showing made in
the election of 1913, when he and
the balance of the ticket were given
nice majority. other speakers
were Judge Muir Weissinger, Jacob
|Sollinger, ex-Tax Receiver Charles
w. Milliken, Police Court Clerk VIII
Holley and others, all paying a nice
tribute to the Social Democratic
Club for its genuine hospitality and
also for the work of its members in
the past two elections, as well as a
personal tribute to Chairman John
j. Barry and his able assistants,
Squire Ben Schulman, the President,
and Councilman Al Rosenberg, the
clubs Secretary.
In prefacing one of his introduce
tory remarks Chairman Schulman
called attention to the presence of
Frank Dugan, the sterling leader of
the Tenth ward, and cited the fact
that by the unanimous vote of the
Advisory Committee the club had
secured banner for their headquar-
ters announcing Mr.. Dugan's candi-
dacy for the nomination for Circuit
Clerk, which practically means that
the club indorses his candidacy.
An elegant buffet luncheon was
served Immediately following the ad-
dresses, everything in the food and
drink line being dispensed with a
free hand. The officers of the club
are Ben Schulman, President; Jer-
ONE King, Jr., Vice President; AL
Rosenberg, Secretary; William Con-
nors. Treasurer; Charles Cherry, Ser
| geant-at-Arms, and John ]. Barry.
Chairman Advisory Committee.
State Auditor Henry Bosworth
has SHE'D his hat in the ring for the
nomination for Governor, following
close on the announcement of Lieut..
Gov. Edward ]. McDermott, and his
Louisville interests are being looked
after by Henry Schwieters. The an
nouncement of Commissioner New
man is expected any minute for the
same office, but II is the consensus
of opinion that the quarantining OF
Kentucky cattle has practically killed
whatever chanes he had with the
farmers, while the laboring classes
had been after him in the cities since
the dismissal OF Ben Sand as Labor
Inspector. Senator Camden may an
nounce after his term as Senator ex-
pires. but many think he will be
bitterly fought by both Senators
James and Beckham. as they do not
want a man for Governor who would
probably want to graduate into the
Senatorial ranks later on.
The possible candidates for the
Judgeships In these columns last
week caused quite a deal OF gossip.
and IL Is now a surety that Judge
Muir Weissinger will contest with
Judge Ray for the nomination in the
Fourth division Of the Common Pleas
branch, while Tyler Barnett has
many admirers for the nomination
for Judge OF the First division OF the
Chancery branch.

imously opposed to the proposed
