 A significant feature of the meeting was an incident that occurred just be- fore adjournment. George M. Cough lin, candidate for city clerk. gained the floor and said:
 HfAt this time, it seems to me only just and fair that attention be called to the untiring efforts of our chair man, MT. Lavery, in bringing together various factions of our party and pre- senting to the electorate a ticket back ed by a united. party. MT. Layery has worked unceasingly, and every one will admit that he has had a. a<good sized job on his hands. How we'll his efforts, have succeeded is attested in this ticket and this meeting.
 Continued applause greeted this statement, and Mr. Layery was com peIIed to express his appreciation of the expression of confidence. He promised the meeting that, his efforts for the success of the ticket would be doubled and foresaw. victory at the polls if everyone gave a hand in the work
 The meeting was called to order by sChaifman Lavery, who urged that eV- cry Democrat join in working for the success of the whole ticket.
 we have got a, ticket that can be elected he said. All that it requires is a. whole lot of good work properly directed. We have the material with which to work and believe by a sort of whir1wind campaign. we can attain victory on November 2.''
 Alderman Walker was, then called upon for remarks The nayora1ty candidatet expressed himself as in fa- vor of a series of district rallies, where the candidates and voters might rub elbows
 Tn this way, we can accomplish a. whole lot" he said We have more able speakers in the party than myself, but doubt if you will find any more earnest workers. am in this fight to win and I believe I am going to win
 Tt is the duty of everx Democrat to do his part This can be done in personal canyasses as we'll as in public rallies. United work by everyone will spell success on election day.
 George M. Cough1in, candidate for city clerk. spoke next. He made a. brief but earnest address in which he advocated united work by the entire party as a means of bringing the cam paigu to a successful issue
 We've got the chance of lifetime party is torn asunder by internal dis sension, while theN Democratic party presents a front that is practically united We, in the party, have had our differences. eW have fought hard over those differences, but now is. our time to call it 9 fffty-ffty' break and bury past differences.
 q would urge a series of rallies in the districts where our arguments may be presented direct to the voters. eW %have plenty of campaign material and should make the most of it. If ew can keep the Democratic vote in line-and know we can-straight vot- ing is going to elect the ticket from top to bottom"
 William zepp, nominee for town clerk, followed. He, too, expressed himself in favor of district rallies.
 MT. Coughlin has sounded the key note for us in the campaign, when he urged a fair and forceful presentation of the real issues by a party that is united We can win and I believe we are going to win Hard work and continued work right up to the time when the polls will close is the way to bring victory"
 ffGo after Wilson and Lee on their public records was the suggestion of John M. Donnelly, candidate for tax collector, who spoke next. There are plenty of issues we can present, and issues that will mean the election of the entire Democratic ticket.
 Let us tell the voters the truth about the present administration. Ii has made mistakes and many of them grievous mistakes. Let us tell them why Henry Lee, candidate on the Git izens' League ticket, was once repu- diated by the electorate by 5000 votes.
 ffThe Citizens League will take away 35 per cent. of the Republican vote. TheN Democratic party has bur jed it's differences. We have a party that is united. We can win and we're going to win.''
