QUIGLEY CHANGES PLANS
Campaign Win Not Open Until Next Week. Republican Officc Aspirant Statcs-Marsh Not Candidate Under Any Consideration. He Says.

Henry F. Gardiner, chairman of the local branch of the labor party and candidate on that ticket for the office of mayor, two years ago, announced this morning that he would accept nomination for mayor this year If his party sees fit to so honor him. His candidacy as yet Is uncontested.
 Capital and Labor
 In announcing himself as candi- date for the labor party nomination. MT. Gardiner pointed out the salient points that will make up his campaign plan, should he be the party's choice. He promises conservative drive for the vote of the laboring class and all those interested in uplifting those who must toll for an existence; also an honest endeavor to bring capital and labor together for the mutual bene- fits to be obtained therefrom. The prospective candidate feels that neither capital nor labor can benefit from continuance of antagonism. but that much can be done to relieve the situation by bringing both forces to- gether, and it is planned, if elected mayor. to work toward that end.
 Candidate Two Years Ago.
 A In the last campaign, MT. Gardiner received financial support from the late Isadore Simons. He conducted an energetic campaign, addressing gath erings in halls and on the streets One of the most conspicuous features of the candidates activities was a wagon covered with banners upon which the party's principles were outlined. In this way, the wagon also serving as a rostrum from which he delivered his campaign speeches. One>of the ban ners, upon which there were pictures of a bottle and wine glass, the fol- lowing lettering appeared:
 Firing back beer and light wines for the working man." N
