Fornes, President of the Board of Aldermen. ° = x Almost the first business that will be transacted by the new’ Board of Aldermen, when it convenes the first Tuesday in January, will be to ‘extend a formal invitation to ‘he Democratic National | Committee to choose New York as the place for holding the na- tional convention in 1904. Ne There is not an “Aldérman in New York, be he Democrat or Republican, who does not believe that the holding of this conven- { tion in New York will be a great thing for the city and State. They believe that it will put money into circulation in New York and that it will bring the people of the East and the West into closer so- cial communion. These Aldermen believe also that New ‘York is en- titled to a national convention, and that the movement started by The Evening World should be approved hy every man in New ~ York who professes civic pride. ‘The approbation of these Aldermen {s headed by their President, Charles V. Fornes. Here is what President Fornes has to say about bring- | ‘Ang the convention here: NEW YORK CAN CARE FOR THEM. “As a citizen I could not but approve of the movement started by the Evening World. I will do all fn my power to bring about the desired re- sult. It will bring a great many thousands of persons to our city, and the comforts and care they would receive from us would make them want to come back. There has never been & Democratic convention or a Republican convention of a national order where the delegates and their friends were all made comfortable. There is no town or city in this country out- side of New York that can offer them accommodations, “New York can offer these acoommod&tions. care of as many strangers as come without! {inconveniencing them. I say this ag a citizen of New York who {s looking out for its welfare. I would | approve the bringing of the Repubfican Convention here for the same | weasons. “As a Democrat I would say that the thinking men of our party should eet together and bring the convention here. I believe holding the conven- tion in New York would bave the effect of taking the State out_of the doubtful ist. I agree with Senator McCarren in this. Nothing could so) enthuse the people of New York as holding the convention in the-city that is their pride. Let me add that 1 will do anything in my power to bring the convention here.” | WHAT THE ALDERMEN SAY. President Fornes does not stand alone in holding these views. Here ls what the Aldermen say: i ‘ DAVID STEWART, Alderman from the Forty-elghth District (Repub- Nean)—“It would ‘be a grand thing for this city to have the Democratic Convention in this city. I am heartily in favor of it as a citizen. All politics should be forgotten by the opposing factions to bring the conven- (tion here. It would put money into circulation and*have tlie effect of show- | 4g 500,000 persons what\a grand place our city is.” MIOHAEL F. BLAKE, Chief Clerk of the Board of Aldermen—"T will work for that convention being held here. The movement started by the vening World should have the support of Democrats and Republicans be- use It is a thing that would benefit the city more than the average per- n who has not looked tnto the conditions has any idea it will. I agree ith President Fornes and Senator McCarren that the convention held in Yew York would put heart into the Democrats of New York as nothing else ould and that New York would be swept by the Democratic candidate in 904.” | LL, CITIZENS SHOULD WORK FOR IT, ELIAS GOODMAN,, Alderman from the Thirty-first District (Repub- ican)—"I don't see how a New Yorker with proper pride in his city could ppose bringing the convention here. I have been in favor of {t since it! as suggested by the Evening World. Republicans and Democrats should} jput shoulder to shoulder to bring about the desired result. All party dif-) ferences should be forgotten and we should work for the good of the cify. Bringing that immense crowd of representative Americans here would be; ‘one of the best things that could happen both in a commercial and a social sway,” ‘ TIMOTHY P. SULLIVAN, Alderman and Democratic leader—"I will do anything in my power to bring the Democratic National Convention to New York in 1904, It would mean much to this city and would mean much to ‘the Democratic party. It would mean to the city 500,000 strangers, with money to spend and a desire to spend {t. It would mean to the visitors comforts such as they have never known at a Natlonal Democratic Con- vention, and pleasures of the harmless sort such as could not be found In any city in the world outside our own. To tho Democratic party. {t would mean certain success in the State of New York, and the convention ‘held hhere\ would encourage. the Democrats all over the East and strengthen | Democratic chances for success more than anything I know of, Hold the’ weonvention here.” ALL QUEENS COUNTY IN LINE. JOHN B. McCARTHY, Alderman from the Sixty-ninth District (Queens ‘Borough)—“I think I can speak for nearly all, if not all, the people of Queens swhen I say that the National Democratic Convention should be held in New ork in 1904, Queens County is greatly interested in the efforts made to eee the convention here, now that the Evening World has started the move- ¥ an | - [PANO FORTHE CONVENTION It has them and ¢an take; ¢ \ H9OOO9OO8S 6008S: } i} Mt Ht | ii i i) ii fi ae f ‘i of I | H ne Mi ijwal : i { wit HL ER ype 4 FE-LAKE SHore PR BNY.

The people of New York are hard to arouse, but when they are aroused they. work with a will. The people of New York should realize that the convention is due here and that it is in their power to get it if they will work together and forget party differences. If we can get the convention the benefit we would feel from it would be lasting.” NEW YORK’S CLAIMS AS A DEMOCRAT SEES THEM. Senator John C. Fitzgera!d Believes that if the National Convention Were Held Here It Would Aid the Party. BY SHNATOR JOHN C. FITZGERALD. I have had an opportunity to study what the effect of holding the Na-! tional Democratic Convention in New York would be and I have come to the conclusion that It would aid in gaining a Democratic victory in 1904. The people up-State would becobme more interested in the election were the convention held here and would work with a greater enthusiasm for Democratic success than they have ever been known to do. I confidently believe that if New York could get this convention the Democrats would sweep the State and the effect would be felt in every doubtful State in the Mast. The national conventions are usually marked with such discomforts that when a man goes to them either as a delegate or as @ visitor he becomes disgusted and declares he has had sufficient politics to last him for a lifetime. He then returns home jand refuses to work for the success of his party. Suppose that convention should come to New York. There would be no such discomforte*to complain of. Every delegate and every visitor who would take advantage of the cheap railroad rates and the convention to visit New York would be made comfortable. He would go home, hav- ing enjoyed himself in the best sort of way, and he would feel like work- ing for the success of his party. New York shouldywork for this convention irrespective of palitical creeds and factional fightg It should work for it because it will be a great thing for the city and State. I would work for it for no other rea- son were | not interested in the success of my party. i] |that the disease 1s communica’ {e, often through the pene: of expectoration, | A corps of In: tors has been sent out to instruct people, expecially or the east side, where In the crowded tenements the disease fs at its worst. \ i ‘thought the death rate this year was to be abnormally low until the scourge There the Ured nurses He down to {of pneumonia began.
