TWO CANDIDATES
 PLEDGE SUPPORT
Haloran and Paonessa Set RumOrS Of Split at Rest

All uncertainty as to how the two candidates for the mayoralty nomin- alton of the democratic party tied last evening with the appearance of both ex-Mayor Joseph M Hallor- an and Alderman Angelo Paonessa at a meeting of the Hardware City Dem- ocratic club, and their expressed pledges of support to the successful candidate at the prin varies.
 VIII Support Rival.
 This was the first appearance of Mir. Halloran at the club meetings and a large gathering was present to hear him. He spoke of the talk that has been rampant about the city of the unfriendly feeling which has existed between himself and Alderman Paore essa since the announcements of their candidates. He said that he wanted to go on record as saying that in case the democratic party saw fit to choose Mir. Paonessa as it's standard bearer in place of himself, he pledged him. self and all his friends to the support of the alderman and to the party. He urged the men present to forget per- sonal feelings and to work in harmony for the success of the democratic party at the polls.
 Paonessa Speaks.
 He was followed by MT. Paonessa and he reiterated the sentiments of MT. Halloran, saying that there has been and there will be in the future the warrnest feeling of friendship be- tween himself and the ex-mayor. He stated that he was pledged to the democratic party and would promise the support of his friends to MT. Hal loran if he was nominated.
 The remarks of both men were re- ceived with applause and with the knowledge that the leaders of both factions have pledged their support to the other in case either onS, was defeated, leaders of the Jeffersohians are resting easy from the fear that a serious split would occur in the par ty, and they feel sure that the party will present solid front at the polls
 Other Speakers.
 Other speakers on the program were Philip Mcintyre, William Earls Martin Kelley and P. s. McMahon They spoke on city and state affairs and their remarks were well received
 A pleasing entertainment was rem dered by members present ard re- treatments were served. The next meeting will be held Wednesday of next week.
