Those filing such evidence, or most of them, do so ■ with the request that the police tie- | partment endeavor to investigate the i testimony sntl ascertain if there Is tool j basis for warrant and criminal prose- j rutlon. “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 j petitions shall follow. “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.

The work is to be continued and there will he special en deavor to get at those who vote wrong fully. “Friends of all candidates will wish us success. No man will wish to go to council on ballots cast for him that were illegal. “It Is not my purpose to give warn ing to any one. I would not have tne.de public statement if you had not asked me about the matter as you have. The j determination is firm that. Illegal reg istrations end illegal voting shall not go unpunished where It is possible to secure the proper proof of such Ille gal t‘y. “The men who votes without the right to vote—the man who malicious ly casts a ballot Illegally—desreves no consideration, but the severest punish ment.

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.
