of Republican Candidates
Swing Around City.

A variety of experiences was had by
Thomas L. Raymond, the Republican
candidate for mavor, last night. Mr..
Raymond attained the heights at s
o'clock, when he spoke in the Forest
Hill Presbyterian Church, but slipped
to the depths by midnight. when he
made a semi-speech at the Republi-
can Indian League in East Park
street.
Mr. Raymond. spick and span, was
introduced to the members of the
Mems Club of the Forest Hill Church
by Simon p. Northrup. Mr.. North
rup is president of the club. He had
previously entertained at dinner the
candidate and his managers.
-Four hours after leaving the Forest
Hill edifice Mr.. Raymond arrived at
the Indian League headquarters,
where he was introduced by "Bill"
Brown, O negro teamster, of 16S
Warren street. Mr. Brown told the
boisterous 'Indiansv that you white
folks should vote for Mr.. Raymond
election day just like us negroes"
Mr.. Raymond began the evening
shaking the hands of friends in the
Eighth ward, but he finished up by
leading dozen Indians" around a
room In lockstep style, all hands
singing those popular songs, includ-
ing 81 want to be, | want to be, Way
Down South in Dixie and For He's
a Jolly Good Fellow"
Not Very Pleasant.
Mr.. Raymond told his north end
friends how disasreeable it was to
have to campaign in all sections OF
the city for votes. He explained that
''in some sections of the city there
are more votes in house than there
are in whole district of the Eighth
ward, and it was necessary to make
campaign for those votes
II feel it great privilege to ad-
dress you, gentlemen of the Eighth
ward, after having spoken before so
many and such varied audiences" I"
began Mr. Raymond ut the Forest
Hilr Church Il doubt If you people
of this ward know much about the
parts of the city candidate must
visit in q campaign for votes, parts
of the city that in themselves con-
stitute little Germany little
ITALY and yes, sometimes. a little
Jerusalem.
Some of the audiences laughed and
Mr.. Raymond laughed with them.
Mr.. Raymond explained that he
meant when he talked OF good gov
ernment "a government that is cos
iuopolitan and liberal-minded and
government that takes In people of
the whole city and not any one sec
tion." Mr.. Raymond's tones seemed
to imply, a note of regret that the
Eighth ward could not govern the
rest of the city.
After giving some figures, which
he said represented salaries at tho
City Hail. Mr.. Raymond concluded
his speech by saying:
THE fact is that not only in the
Eighth ward, thank God, but in the
rest of the city the people have felt
the pinch of hard times and with the
high tax rate have decided to change
the administration.
The candidate. apparently unmind-
full of the fact that he has nclznowl-
edged inability to competently handle
two small companies of which he was
appointed receiver. went on to tell
his audience that he would handle
the $14 900 900 that goes into the city
treasury every year and disburse II
'in bnsiness-like manner"
Among those who beamed upon Mr.
Raymond from the audience and lent
his encouragement to the candidate
by his applause was former Sheriff
Frank II. Sommer Mr.. Raymond
said nothing about Mr.. Sommer to his
Forest Hill audience, but he did say
something of him when he dropped
down to the Indian League meeting.
He told the few who gathered around
him down there. including his friend
"Bilr' Brown: that he had not prom
ised Mr.. Sommer the job of city
counsel
Frank Has Good job
Crank has a good Job now" ex-
plained Mr.. Raymond, "and | doubt If
he would take the post Of city counsel
if I was to offer it to him." Mr. RAY
mond did not deny. however. that he
might ask Mr.. Sommer to succeed Mr.
Nugent. in case of his election. Fol-
lowing his usual custom of saying one
thing to the church clubs and an
other to other clubs, Mr. Raymond
did not tell the gathering of Mr..
Sornmer,s friends in the Eighth ward
that he would not appoint "Frank.'
After speaking at the church and
at another Eighth ward meeting In
the rear of a saloon. Mr. Raymond
and his campaign manager, Spauldiag
Frazer got into their automobile and
rode into that part of the city, Lit
tie Jerusalem as Mr. Raymond calls
it. in other words the Third ward.
where there is a large Hebrew popu-
lation Mr.. Raymond, naturally, was
very glad to meet so many voters
there. He made no reference to Lit
tie Jerusalem" in his speech.
After these unpleasant experiences,
Mr.. Raymond arrived at the Indian
