Ernst llnnimi'l will get tlio votes of

known to eveo'lx'y. hut the story of
the wnv ho ncted u Santa Claus for
III,. poor elty employe will bear re
tolling : In the winter of 1001. lie Wing
then City Treasurer, the elty was pass
ing through one of It jierlodle season
of financial distress. Christum was

empty, niirt the credit of the munici
pality nt ho low nn ehh tlmt the $700.
000 necessary t moot the pay roll could
not lm raised an loan. Mr. Hummel
panned n sleepless night on the 22d,
nnd early the next morning DeiiMiiher
aid-- Btnrted out to raise thu money on
IiIh own account lie visited bank after
hank, und by il o'clock that day had se
eured the $700,000 on IiIm )erM)nal
pledge. In the meantime Iio had twit
word to Deputy Treasurer Hnrry Illl
droth nnd Acting Paymaster Henley to

wan Joy In thousand of Tiumhlo homes,
mh well ns among hundredM of trades
men, to whom this opMrtune distribu
tion wuh most timely, as they had given
long credits to tho city employes.
This Is ouo of the reasons why Ernst
Hummel Is strong with men who work
for m living. "Like him?" said it West
Hide polleemnn ; "well, I should say wo
Hd. Tbero arw few of us who will
ever forget that winter of 1004, and
how Mr. Hummel came to our rescue."
Urnst Ilumutel Is .making great
nI rides In bis race for election as Coun
ty Treasurer. lie Is one of the most
popular mea ever nominated for public
oftoe and has the conlfdeuce of every
tody. Mr. Hummel waa bom In Wur
tflSBbarg, Germany, and waa educated
la the German schools. He came to
Chicago In 1850 with his parents. In
UM5 be waa married to Was Mary All
taeadlnger, of this city. Boon after

The campaign In Just commencing.
From now on tbero will not bo so
much apathy.
Tho School Board Is pretty tough, to
say tho least of It. .But Mayor Dunne
Ik not entirely to hlamo In tho matter.
Chairman Hanbcrg of tho Republican
comity committee ou organization Is
already making plana for gottlng out
tho Republican voto Nov. 0. "Tho polls
will closo at 4 o'clock," said Mr. Han
horg, "and It Is snfo to say that It tho
bulk of tho vote Is not lu before eloc-
torn go downtown lu the morning It
never will ho ollcd. I ilguro that six
out of ten elector get up In tho morn
ing JiiHt lu time to catch regular train
for their officii, factories and places of
business or employment. It usually
takes tAiMity minute extra to go to tho
IKtllx and voto and therefore It Is urgout
that electors aro repeatedly reminded
of thu necessity of voting early."
Don't forget Ernst Hummel, what
ever you do.-
The Beef Trust press has got the
people of Chicago Into a line
pickle. For years Its cry was,
"abolish the cable," "lower the
tunnels," "give us municipal own
ership." They have succeeded In get
ting the people to endorse all of these
yelps. And the result Is confusion
worse confounded. Trolley wires on
every down-town street and h Jam of
street the business center dan-
gerou- i num.. a life.. And the Trust
press 'uiK seemed the abandonment of
the tmim-ls to the delight of tho dozen
or so steam scows that still use Chi
cago for u port.
Kvery citizen who believes In re
warding service well performed tJid
who desires to hftvo tho court presided
over by men of ability and honesty
should go to tho polls on election day
and cast his voto for Charles H, Cut
ting, candidate for re-election as Pro
bate Judge. Mr. Cutting's record on
the bench Is a brilliant one, with not a
blemish on it Ho has earned tho repu
tation of being a fair-minded, able and
Industrious Judge. If any man deserves
an election this fall it Is Charles 8. Cut
ting. Vote for blm.
Why not let the lawyers settle the
Judicial election for the people, and the
Beef Trust dallies select the Legisla
ture? Civil service reform Is a rank fraud
and a stepping stone towards a mon
archy. Receiver John C. Fetser has done
wonders for the depositors of the Mil
waukee Avenuo Bank. He Is the right
man lu tho right place.
Gov. Deneon nud Senators Cullom

Chicago would bu allowed to vote, was

"There aro nlsmt fi.OOO lawyers In
the elty," said Mr. Murphy, "of whom
lcs than 1,000 are members of tho Chi
cago Bur Association, which recently
held a nrlmary. Wo bcllevo that a gen-
oral bar prlmury of nil Chicago's prac

Tliey told the Mayor that If they
should be denied promotion another
time or two they would not bo able to

record and everybody likes blm. His

tainty, Carter H. Hnrrlson has returned to
Chicago, but will not participate In the
coming campaign ami will mako no

Injuries received by the former Mayor
while moose-hunting In Ontario are
given as the cause which will confine
him to his room In the Virginia Hotel
for two weeks. He was billed to make
the first of a series of speeches next
Monday.
Civil service reform means llfo Jobs
for political heelers.
The friends of personal liberty aro
for Hummel.
Henry Sherman Boutoll can't be

crat, ns a candidate for Stato Senator
In thu Nineteenth Senatorial District.
Sir. Buckley claims to bo tho legal Dem
ocratic nominee.
An nblo and faithful public servant
like Edward J. Bruudage should bo

of the County Board has shown that
he I always working In the Interests
of the people nnd Is deserving of a reelection.
Honest Phil Knopf has mndo a good
Congressman. Ills re-election Is cer

Bryan, who stands for nothing nnd
has done nothing for tho people, will
1 have to give way to Hearst, who has
douo much.
Fred W. Upham has served tho peo
ple woll as member of the Board of Re

When Hearst Is elected Governor of
New York Billy Bryan can go back to

BEEF TRUST IS BOLD.
Not Satisfied with Dumping Lumpy Jaw
and Tuberculosis on the People
of Chicago,
It Sends Meat to Other Cities Which
Is "Preserved" with the Worst
Poison.
The City ihemiit of Toledo, Ohio, Findi
Sodium Sulphate in Beef from
Chicago.
The Beef Trust Is getting bolder thnn
ever.
It Is dumping more lumpy Jaw nnd
tiilierculoxls Into Chicago than It ever
did.
It Is using sodium sulphite, the most
Injurious of preservatives, to preserve
It meat.
And this kind of stuff Is being ship
ped out of the city.
Chlcngoan are not getting all of the
poisonous stuff, It seems.
The new government Inspection Is n
good thing. Isn't It? Rend this:
(Special to the Record-Herald.)
Cleveland, Oct. 22. William Pate.
Jr.. city cliemUt. found to-day thnt
each of teu samples of meat submitted
to him was preserved with sodium sul
phite, which Mr. Pato considers the
most Injurious preservative In use. All
the samples were shipped here from
Chicago. An order was Immediately
Issued prohibiting the further s.ilo of
the meat. Under the law nt present
there Is no penalty for shipping Impure
or preserved mots Into the city.
During the week ending Oetolwr 20,
IlKsl, the few city Inspector nt the
Union Stock Yards condemned and de
stroyed 2i:i,7lii) pounds of meat.
Sir Thomas Llptou's visit to Chicago
was for thu purimse of organizing a
new Beef Combine, according to some
a count.
Do was tho guest of tho packers
whflo here, and tliey got up bnno,uets
and yacht races for him to show how
well they stand In Chicago,
And they had Mayor Dunno and his
former law partner speak nt his ban
nuet, so that tho pcopfo with money
to Invest, who llvo in London, would
see how well tho packers are thought
of In this elty.
The last man Sir Thomas called on
to say good-by to was the Mayor, don't
you know.
The dally papers never say anything
about the Beef Trust If they can help
It. The people note this fact and com
ment on It And yet the dallies wonder
why they are losing their Influence.
Tho Dunne administration stands for
thu Beef Trust Although It Is Its
plain duty to prosecuto tho packers,
and although It lias caught the Trust
lu tho net of selling rotten meat It
has never canned nu arrest to be made.
Thu new government Inspection Is a
Joke.
Tho law went Into foreo nnd effect
Oct. 1 and every day since that date
tlio market rcorts of tho dally news
papers have quoted prices on "winner
cowh" and "canncr cattle."
Everybody knows, or ought to know,
by this tlmo what n "canner" Is,
It may bo as well, howovor, to say
that a "canner" Is a Mckly animal,
diseased, crippled or worn out A cow
that has "thrown" Its calf and that
give no milk. An animal that Is un
til for dary purpose1 and tit only for
the bono yard.
This Is the ulcerated, cancerous or
tubercular creaturo thnt is thrown to
tho tender morclos of tlio Beef Trust
and cut up and sold to tho people.
Read tho market reports and you
will sou tho figure that tho "canner"
cuts lu tho llvo, stock market.
Tho Government Inspectors, most of
whom wero packing house employes,
havo disclosed through tho dally press
tlio wonderful way lu which tho public
is to bo protected.
They havo caused to bo printed fnc
similes of tho government stamps,
showing enttlo divided Into soven sec
tions, lalieled tho "round," "thu loin,"
"tho rib," "tho chuck," "tho brisket,"
tho rump," and "tho Hank."
As tho Inspector havo tagged each
of theso parts with Its proper name.
this ought to satisfy tho public that It
U not getting a flank steak for n por
terhouse or any other old thing.
Not it word on tho tag about tho
health of tlio animal.
Oh, no!
Tlio public Is so easily fooled that It
would bo cruelly to disenchant It.
Most of tho old government iuscct
ors have been retained.

government Inspectors did their work,
