the amount OF work that these
women did without compensation

they were made to feel their good

M'KINLEY "REVENGED"
AT MOORE MEETING
Republican Nominee for Coun-
Gil Takes Crack at Co.'S
telIo, Who Presided

John j. Mckinley, Republican nomt-
nee for Council from the Eighth dis
trict, had his revenge
Congressman Moore had completed
his address last night in the Empire
Theatre, 1852 Frankford avenue, and
left the meeting, Congressman Peter
e. Costello. who presided, was running
things smoothly. The voters from the
Twenty third, Twenty fifth, Thirty
third, Forty first and Forty fifth
wards attending the meeting were sat
isfied.
Then Mr.. Costello introduced Mr.
Mckinley as speaker And in that
introduction Mr.. Mckinley was
''praised to the skies for his work as
the Ware leader of the Thirty third
ward.
The calm ana peaceful meeting
jumped to attention when Mr.. McKin-
ley mentioned the primary fight. and
how he polled his lowest vote in the
congressman bailiwick-the Forty
first ward.
Then he told of a visit Mr.. Costello
paid before the primaries to headquar-
ters at Eleventh and Chestnut streets,
naming Mr.. Mckinley as his candidate
The speaker did not say he had been
double crossed: he did not say Mr..
Costello was not loyal to the organiza =
ton. But he pointed out the congress =
mans son polled 1900 votes in the
Forty first ward, and that other candi-
dates polled 100, 1900 and 1900. Mr..
Mckinley polled 1000.
The speaker did not object to being
praised by the presiding officer. but he
intimated that support at the polls
meant more to him.
The meeting broke up.
Mr.. Mckinley laughed today when he
said:
II simply told the truth. and some
times the truth hurts. Certainly Mr..
Costello will support me at the elec =
tion. He is a Republican"
