OPPOSED TO A "ONE MAN TOWN • "Greater Tacoma" was the watchword St the Democratic meeting at the Horace Mann school, in "the Fifth ward, last eve ning. That Tacoma would grow to it* rightful position as the first city of I'ugct found as soon as she ceased to be a "one man town" was the opinion of the speak ers. , The meeting was well attended, the auditors enthusiastic and attentive. K. L. Hiberly, J. T. Eshelman, O. G. Kills, George P. Wright and Frank B. Cole were the speaker*. ; . Mr. Ellis stated that his only ambition was to see Tacoma at the head of the cities of the Northwest; that he believed that she would ultimately gain her rightful po sition, but could not do it until she re versed her political methods and voted for the best man in every municipal contest, regardless of his political belief. ; "Mayor Campbell claims," said the speaker, "thai be was the cause of the reduction of the street car fares and occa sioned the giving of transfers. Let me tell you how that giving of transfers came about. - Transfers were given solely be-, cause all of the different street railway companies were merged into one. When this was done it was a matter of business policy on the part of the new owners to do this. as it is required in every other city in the country and public opinion would demand it here. As far as Mayor Campbell is concerned, he had nothing whatever to do with the issuing of trans fers. "Mayor Campbell claims a high plane of morality for his administration and states that during his last term of office the po lice court fines have fallen off nearly Why Wait Until It Is Too Late? : If your hair is falling out, do not wait until it is too late, but call at once and consult Madam Bay. -We guarantee to stop the hair from fall ing out.

Connelly, the manager of the Pacific Shoe Co., expressed it when asked WHY he had decided to run such a strange sale: "The ease is urgent- Carrol & Carrol demand $2,000 forthwith, and we" are obliged to sacrifice enough of our regular stock to raise the amount. The sale may last ten days or two weeks, but we hope to be able to end it by Saturday night, April 2nd." Therefore it is quite likely that this chance to buy good Shoes cheap will end next Saturday.

It was with the advice and consent of the mayor that the Globe hotel building was built. If Mayor amp bell is for better morals, why is he sup. ported in this campaign by the proprietors of the Globe hotel, the Phoenix theater anil the Hoard of Trade saloon? "If you want to sec Tacoma prosper, throw aside your politics in this cam paign and come with us and help us Select a business in,i, (or mayor; one who will I be big enough for this city.'' George P. Wright, candidate for mayor, pledges a strictly business administration if he should be elected, assuring equal and exact justice to all. Mr. Hiberly touched briefly on the Is sues of the campaign and urged the elec tion of the entire ticket. Frank 15. Cole, candidate of the Demo crats for mayor two years ago, closed the meeting with a humorous speech, In which he deplored the present methods of diverting money from, the electric light and water funds to'the general fund, and urged the redaction of taxes, which he thought could lie best secured by the elec tion of George P. Wright and a council that wonld support him. * • While this meeting was in progress. other voters were taking advantage of an opportunity to hear the campaign issues discussed from a Democratic standpoint, Woodmen's hall, on South Yakima avenue, was well filled and the meeting was ad dressed by John Leo. John Hartman J. J. j Anderson, the three candidate at the head of the ticket and Felix McKeown, candi date for the council from the Fifth ward, Mr. lieo criticized the manner in which the books wen kept, at the city ball, and scored. Mayor Campbell for wanting a third term. Mr. Wright made the usual statement of the issues of the campaign, and closed with the promise that if elected be would have under him only competent heads of departments, especially the chief of police and commissioner of public works. The other speakers covered much the same ground that has been gone over at previous meetings, VANCOUVER'S BENCH SHOW VANCOUVKR; B. C., March 31.-The annual exhibition of' the.

FELT TRIES TO GET POWER Asks Baker for Current to Bun Street Cars in Taconia. Charles H. "Raker, president of the Sno qualmie Falls rower company, received to day the following dispatch from E.J. Felt, who recently secured a franchise for new street railways in Tacoma: "Cleveland, ().. March 31, 1904. '"Charles H. Baker, President Snoqualmie Falls Power Company. "Matters have reached choice between building power plant or taking power from you. Write by return mail stating lowest price on long time contract you will fur nish us power, in thousand horsepower lots and how soon. Must quote low. .r- . . "E. J. FELT." Mr. Baker showed ' this telegram to The Times today. He said: "This is another illustration of how the Stone & Webster combine is injuring the city of Tacoma by obstructive tactics. Felt wants to con struct his street railways at once, and in order to get speedily into • operation he needs power. I do not see how I can furnish it to him in such quantities as he says he wants. The Snoqualmie plant could not do it. My plant on White river would have been ready and able to furnish this power if Stone & Webster had not blocked its erection by their tactics in the courts, "belt could not ask Stone & ,Webster for power, for he would not want to be placed in such a disadvantage-ems position while proposing to run street cars in Ta coma in opposition to their lines. Even if they agreed to give him the power, he would know that he was liable at all times' to get the worst of the deal through "break-downs" and stoppages of the cur rent. "All that Mr. Felt can do under the cir cumstances is to erect a costly steam pow er plant, costing him at least half a million dollars. That may delay his oper ating cars in Tacoma. I know he js ready to go ahead here as soon as he can make necessary arrangements for power." COULDN'T TRAVEL ON BOTH TRACKS On the switch at East N street, on the P street line, last night the street railway company's freight train tried to go down both tracks at the same time. The freight motor, pushing two flat cars of wood, and pulling two other freight. cars, was coming in from the Interurban line, and as they struck the switch one ear went over on the main track all right, but the rear trucks on the second car ran off on the switch. Traffic was delayed nearly an hour. Easter Economy Sale 'W- ."^■''"''-•''ri' ' * ''.'','■ ,*' . ' l^''^'*'. ","'" - "" f:' c, v.- '.■ r '■:■ '*■"•'■ ' Trt Vv-Lj^-x-w-. " 't~r, r - ■'■ i- i !
