When the campaign started, Kelly
said that he dint want TO rum but
that if he just had to, there would be
plenty of singed cats jumping hither
| and Won. The cats are jumping all
right, but he has found he has jumped
on a wildcat
Most everything has been started
by Kelly, according to his own ad-
mission Why 1 was coming to town
the other day and 1 met a man on the
train who had been reading one of the
ring patent medicine ads He read It
through and then he asked me if 1 was
from I'll Paso L told him ] was. Well
he said, I'd like to meet the ring
candidate: He must have started the
European war, he's started everything
else.
Kelly Not Due for Poor Farm.
Poor Kelly, he's causing lots of
heartaohe by his touching appeal to be
allowed to keep away from the poor
house He tells US how he came here
poor French peasant from New Or
leans to clean out a drug store and
finally clean up drug store don't
think any of us should really get un-
easy about his going to the poor farm.
But / will tell you why he is put
ting up this humble whine for votes
now. The reason is that he is not
game loser. / never saw a man Of
Kelly's type that was not a coward in
a crisis. He began this campaign big
and arrogant as q bull dog and now
he's the smallest Chihuahuita L ever
saw.
My heart feels warmed when I see
this audience and think that II years
ago when L was almost alone in this
movement, but dozen or so could be
got to attend meetings. Today you
have a standard bearer who is clean.
who is strong, and who will win. Let
the watchwOrd remain More business
and less politics.
Lawyers Blacklist.
They tell me that Kelly keeps tab
on young attorneys and that he has two
lists in his office, one black and the
other white said r. =. Thomson. IF
the attorneys don't walk a chalk line,
they go down on the black list There's
Judge Holiday. who walks like Burgess
and talks like Turney. heading the list
on the white slate and clustering close
behind him come Judge Elfers and
Judge Murphy and judge Pool and
wish to be judges. And right at the top
of the black list is judge GOggin, with
plenty more under him.
Did you all see that ad in the
paper that was written and printed
by the ring that says that Kelly is
the best man in the city for the may
Or's office? That is an insult to the in
telligence Of the community. 1t is the
most colossal piece Of egOtism 1 have
ever heard perpetrated-'
Mr. Thomson then quoted from the
speech made by mayor Kelly, print

language regarding the opposition. is

"They say the schools are out of poll
