 No Hip. Hip! .Hooray. P. F. King, assisting in MT. Pelton's s candidacy for mayor, was called upon for remarks He has been associated in business for a number of years with MT. Pelton, who he has found to be very capable man in all respects Some time ago he was approached and asked to assist in securing the nomination for mayor for MT. Pelton. l called a reporter and informed him that MT. PeltOn sought the place When l read the accounts in the pa- pers that evening l saw where MT. Pelton was in the race with both feet. Well, was glad that he departed from that WOrn-Out "hat-in- the ring method anyhow. I will say that MT. Pelton is not schooled in the political Hip! Hip! Hooray" fashion, but is earnest in his desire to serve the city for it's best interests.
 Tumultuous applause greeted the announcement that MT. Pelton was to be the next speaker It was the first opportunity that many of the mem- bers of the ward had of looking on the man who will no doubt wage the fight for the democratic election as mayor on April II, and judging from his re- ccption he will prove to be a heavy vOte-getter in the democratic baili- wick
 For Business Administration.
 Mir. Pelton said that since he has been in this city he has done but little political SDeechmakin2 He however would say on this occasion that he be- lieved that the time had arrived for a victory for the party, and he was confident that it would be achieved. The city has been democratic before, and has rendered service that was sat isfactOry in every respect, and he was sure that this state of affairs was to exist again this spring. In the va rious wards, the speaker said cOnsid- erable work is being done in the inter ests of the party. A large vote is eX- pected in the Third ward and also in the First ward, where the democrats are more active than ever before. The demonstration of the evening previous in the Fifth ward had satisfied him that the ward had been returned to the party. He believed that with a democratic mayor. surrounded by a capable set of commissioners the city can be conducted without the aid of explosions and noise. He assured his audience that he wished to see the strongest candidate chosen to repre- sent the party, and if some other can- didate, who would prove stronger than he. appeared, he would gladly lay aside his desire for the place and lend his strongest support in electing the can didate.

 Fired? No, Raised
 Although Town Chairman Mangan was indisposed he was present at the meeting and gave a stirring talk on the misadministration of Mayor Quig- ley. He scored the childish claims ad- vanced by the republicans at the fourth ward club supper the evening previous.
 "Quigley has told you he has been mayor" How has he been mayOr?" ''I'Wo years ago the poor unfortunates at the aims house were set up before the public as one of his claims for fine work should be be elected mayor He told you that he wanted the removal of Superintendent kibbe. That was his fight while alderman in the inter- ests of the poor people at the poor house. What did he do" He was elected mayor, then appointed his board of charity commissioners, who turned around and raised Superinten- dent kibbe's salary. He has been the boss. he has removed men from cOm- missions, and in the case of Joe An dreWs, as clean a man as ever lived, something may be told that will show this case up. I have heard democrats say. 'Quigley is good enough for me But what the democrats want is a man like Pelton, who is the best for the city. Many claims have been made that the registration method is wrong and should be changed. The speaker said that it was impossible by law for the registrar to approach any person and seek their name for the demo- cratic list. The democratic party was not picking any candidate for mayor. The name of Mr. Pelton had been be- fore the public for some time, and this gentleman has come out openly and told you that he wanted the nOmina- ton for mayor and if his record is looked up where he is employed it

SIXTH WARD DEMOCRATS
 HEAR FACTS AND FIGURES
Ward Candidates Make Favo rable Impression Voters Mangan Raps Mayor for Almshouse Fasco-Pelton
 Doesn't Favor Explosive Administration

With their teeth chattering and col lars of their oVercoats buttoned up
 tightly around their necks, a large
 gathering of members assisted in pry- ing off the lid of the campaign of the sixth ward democrats last evening in the Ruthenian hall. Although the temperature out doors was sprng-like e those in the interior of the hall felt that the winter was about to play a return date here for a time. One lone republican who had got past the lines and secured some of the enemy's po- l1t1cal ammunition, was discovered along the middle of the meeting. and he was about the only person present. who seemed to find matter very warm. The meeting brought together the various candidates in the ward. and the short speeches delivered by these men rang with enthusiasm and seemed to strike encouragement in the minds of the voters.
 Going to Show Elm How
 Chairman George Le Witt presided at the gathering. At the outset he said that it was the first of the series of meetings that the club proposes to conduct. It was the first meeting VI AeHo hlitt IO Ut Ilcld III the nall. and he hoped it was an omen for a sue ceSsIul elecuon. When I entered the hall and looked at the stage thought that we would have some moving pictures, it resembles a local theater so much, but we are going to leave the picture exhibitions to out political opponents who at present are furnishing plenty of them," MT. Le- Witt said.
 The chairman spoke of the contest that was being waged for alderman m the ward, and added that the Sixth Ward democrats would show the re- puollcans how to conduct a clean cam palgn. He urged the formation of permanent club, where gatherings could be held monthly, and in this manner the voters would become bet CT acquainted with each other. i
 me chairman then called upon councilman Paonessa who in his in- :, rooucuon said had furnished plenty l II fireworks in the council, and had ! 'l"ays been found to deliver the i ,oods.
 Angelo Is Regular.
 Councilman Paonessa, said that it .ieaseu nm to see such representa- we gathering present. He was not olng to assume the attitude of the laEor and issue a challenge to his op- onents, but was going to conduct iean campaign, and if he was beaten ! e would lead his strongest support in Sslstlng in the election of the party ominee. He said that present con- itions proved that he was a member the best party, as was shown in the 'ess, through the fight that Mayor uigley and Councilman Curtis are a aging on each other One is try g to defend his administration while le other is attempting to show it up, | Ut during the administration of ] le democratic mayor, there was no eed of so much turmoil, and better asultS were attained
