“In instances these representations
have been accompanied by evidence
i which, It Is claimed, will prove the reg

such evidence, or most of them, do so ■
with the request that the police tie- |

“I have promised that so far as the
police department can do so. there
shall be such rigid Investigation and
where the evidence warrants if pros

“I repeat that promise now. The
police department will do everything i
in Its power to bring the illegally reg- j
iatered men to trial. We are now
working on cases, getting up reliable ,
testimony. We will continue to do
so, bringing on trials as rapidly as
possible. I am sure that every raiidl
date for council will applaud the work
and that every good citizen will do all
tn his power to assist In the prosecu

“Friends of all candidates will wish

“It Is not my purpose to give warn

public statement if you had not asked
me about the matter as you have. The

go unpunished where It is possible to

j the talk turned upon the customs mid

lynching, the young man arguing

j the Texan exclaimed, In tones of hor

“Most assuredly not.”

Not let'him git loose?”

"Ah, here, young feller.” he exclaim

was so serious about it that the young

It Is » fact that there was not one
eighth of the talk In the Fifth ward
lust night about politics that there was
about the labor trouble.
I tried to secure for the Sunday ltcr
al.l estimates of the opposing parties
there—the Elliott party and the Mut
tlson party- -on the outcome of the
balloting in December, but with one or
two exceptions, 1 could not. get, pet •
sons, even those who have heretofore
taken part in politics, to become in
terested.
They preferred to talk of the ml.’,
trouble.
"Let tne tell you about politics, said
cne of the most iololligent gentlemen
of West End. “It ts anybody's fight
up here. City questions may eome up
out of the labor trouble that may cause
many changes of votes. Wc are going
to have questions inserted that will be
hard to unravel. The estimates you
seek ere such as you can only rceeivo
from partisans of one side or the other.
Such estimates are but the, opinion of
one man.
“The contest here Is close. If I were
to tell you Elliott has the better chance
you would conclude right away that 1
am an Elliott sympathizer. And so It
would he if f said Mattison Is going to
win,
“If you want to know about the. Fifth
you will have to wait till election day.
I don’t want to appear abrupt. But
that Is the eiluatltwi.
“For whom am 1 going to vote?
Well, never mind. I am tt hoodoo In
politics, and if I don’t mention my fa
vorite tt won’t do him any harm.”
