DEMOCRATS BEGIN
 FACTORY SPEECHES
Dr. J. E. Martin Says People
 Should Give Party a Chance

pr. J. F. Martin, democratic candi- date for mayor, conducted a noon- day rally a the gates of the North & Judd Mig. Co. this noon, praising the Democratic ticket and arguing against the continuance of the Republican regime as conducted by Mayor George A. Quigley, nominated last night as the G. o. P. standard bear CT,
 That MT. Quigley and his machine must be beaten, Is the slogan of 75 per cent of the Republicans and Democrats in this city, Dr. Martin declared, and added that even the Republican party does not see any reason why Mayor Quigley should be returned for third time. Added to this opinion, the speaker said that the many bIunders made by the ad- ministration during the past four years has increased the opposition to the Republican leader. He called at tention to the potato question and likewise made disparaging comments upon the condition of such streets as Lafayette Myrtle and North Stanley streets, to say nothing of the town
 farm barn expose by c. F. Curtis.
 Dr. Martin also declared that all of the people have suffered from the
 mayors advice on the coal question, and called attention to the "admtnls-
 tration school boy conduct in regard to the raising of the official salaries.' In conclusion Dr. Martin reiterated the previous statement that Quig- lCy's administration has shown many dismal failures and as 8 result he should not be returned to office. but on the other hand the Democratic administration should be given a trial.
 Last night the Dem ocrats conduct ed street corner rallies at Arch and West Pearl streets, East and Dwight streets and John and Park streets. 1 Tonight an open air rally will be held 1 at the corner of Washington and ] Broad streets, and another Demo 1 cratic rally is to be held in Ukraln- l ian hall on Erwin Place.
