The Fitzgerald Club has the arrange­ ments in charge and ask for a large at­ tendance. • • • The club has selected the following executive committee: Pollock, Tucker, Ledwidge, Oberender and Mackenzie. • • • A, W. Lawrence, of the Printers, candi­ date for the Legislature, is using a unique campaign card and has received much en­ couragement in his campaign. His plat­ form contains the following: “ Will support principles of direct leg­ islation, Statement No. l;ta x reform, free text books, school law reform and good roads. Am absolutely Opposed to graft, log-rolling or meddling with laws enacted M. J. Murnane, member of Steam En- gineers No. 87, also a candidate for the Legislature, at first intended to run for sheriff but later when Fitzgerald an- nounced his candidacy, he decided to with- draw and support the cigarmaker. Mr. Murnane’s friends urged him to become a candidate for the Legislature, and now that he is in the race, he is making a thor- ough canvass. Mr. M urnane’s platform is very similar to that of A. W. Lawrence. • • • Herman Wise, of Astoria, candidate for delegate to the National Democratic con­ vention, is passing around the most inter­ esting campaign card we have seen. It is printed to resemble a circus ticket, hav­ ing a perforated stub. On the face of the ticket is printed: “ The best show of the century, ‘The Taming of the Elephant, June 25, 1912, at Baltimore.
