 burdens each year on the taxpayers. many of whom have no property but their own little homes"
 Mr. Donne1ly said the entire tic ket was worthy of support and de- | cIared he felt certain democracy would triumph next Tuesday. At the end of his talk MT. DonneIly,s audi ence fairly how1ed it's approval and he had to bow his thanks
 William IL. zepp, :. candidate for town clerk, characterized the Citizens ticket movement "a drive at the. Wilson administration" l tsMayors Wilson is being repudiated by these men of his own party he said. s.They are tired of high tax rates and the suicidal policy. of bond ing to the limit
 @ ssThis policy of bequeathing an in l heritance of debt to poster1ty is bad business. We are pi1fng up debt and soon the limit will be reached if the Republican administration is allowed it's run. It is time that men who have the interests of the city at heart be placed in power.
 .sThe Democratic party promises a conservative and econ omica1 admin istration of city affairs"
 ! John w. Grant, nominee for town treasurer, cited Alderman Walker as possessing three essential quahfica- tions of an aspfrant to the mayoralty. He is a taxpayer; he is a good bus pOSSCSS90 tperience in public life,'' said the speaker.
 MT. Grant decried the extravagance of the present administration and pointed to Henry Lees broken prom fises relative to the trolley crossing man Walker, as mayor would serve the city as well as he served his con stituency in the Fourth district dur ing his term as alderman.
 Attorney Daniel B. Brennan, candi- date for alderman from the Seventh district told the voters in his eloquent way that the Democratic platform fairly meets every issue that has been presented by the Republicans.
 Daniel B. Walker is in the race to stay, {" the speaker declared. Despite the fact thaf there is a newspaper1 campaign against him, in which every effort is made to preveFt the truth so that the interests of the opposition will best be served. MT. Walker is steadily gaining strength with the voters.
 1T want to state right here that MT. 1 Walker is not opposed to commission government as some of the opposition 1 papers would have you believe. He 1 takes the same stand that I and all | other Democratic candidates take the | same stand that and all other Demo- ! cratic candidates take. T am bound 1 to listen to the voice of the people If | they say by their votes next Tuesday | that they want commission govern | ment I, as we'll as MT. Walker and all | Democratic standard bearers, will, if elected, be obliged to give the city the i commission form Attorney Brennan compared MT. 1 Walker to the candidates on the Re- publican and Citizens tickets for mayor and asserted that the Demo- l cratic choice is a better main for the | rfJe h 7.oifT iz 1feFi The speaker closed with a few words l of praise for the rest of the Demo cratic tickets and at the finish was given a big cheer.
 Attorney John A. Cornell .Jr., can didate for alderman in the Eighth | district, was next introduced. s'After listening to such an eloquent speaker as Attorney Brennan he said. My remarks seem almost uncalled for. We have a curious situation before us this election. There are three tickets in | the field. One of these, the Citizens | ticket, is composed of discarded goods placed in the political shop window and marked Dollar Day Sale The other, the Republican ticket, is in pretty bad shape. The old G. O. F. bearing sign Tn Hook. John T. King holds the ticket fNs
 seThe platform of the Democratic party meets the issues of the day square1y and definitely. You can rest assured, too, that if our candidates are elected they will carry out the blanks of that platform. We can't give the E people commission government unless they want it but if they signify by their votes that they favor this form the Democratic party will lose no time in doing as the citizens say In con clusion desire to say that our party has presented a fine list of candf- | dates They all deserve your support and hope you will vote the ticket straight P
 Attorney Hugh J. Lavery. followed i Attorney Cornell after the applause had subsided- This ticket of o1rs.,' he said, .-fs composed Of tried and tr11e Democrats. Their work in the past has been successful and we all know that 1T electedthey will continue, to do their utmost to serve the. people we'll.
 We are facing newspaper corn b1nat1on in this campaign. The or- position has denied us a fair expres- sion Of facts so we have gone forth In these rallies to offset caIurnny by presenting some facts. The opposition will tell you that Daniel E. Walker | can't give the city commission ssovern- ment But you know that is a lie MT. Walker stands pledged to obey the W1shes or the voters and he will ' carry out any promise he makes
 MT. Walkers record is one of con struction. The outpourine in the Fourth district "Wednesday night. when the Casino was packed by-voters, shows how highly MT, Walker is re-,i, garded in his own district I also want to say a word of praise for .Jobn M-sDonnelly for his efficiency while in |. the collectors office in pasteeears He Is a man whose excellent records speaks for itself' In closing. Attor- l. ney Lavery gave the other candidates high praise and pleaded with the crowd to give each man full sI1DnoI+ on election day.
 Former Alderman Robert G. De- Forest, of the Fourth district. made an earnest plea for the voters to use the most careful judgment in the ex- ercise of suffrage.
