St. Louis Post-Dispatch, April 18, 1899, Se ~ FULL OF. ACTIVITY. The Anti- Noonan Campaign Opened . With a Lively Zeal. ‘HON-INSTRUCTED DELEGATES TO BE PITTED AGAINST “DE PUSH.” ‘The Opposition to the Combine Will Not ym Work for Any Particular, Candidate for Governor, but Will Fight the Deal— Chairman Swift of the Combination Replies to Butler—Politics. The anti- Noonan Democratic campaign has started in earnest and the menwho have taken hold of the moyement do not propose to relax until the primaries close,a week from next Wednesday night. The men se- lected as delegates are all prominent Democrats well known intheir respective wards and they are all willing to do thelr share in the interest of clean Democracy by knocking out the Daiton-Noonan-Swift com- bination which aims to give‘‘de push’ ’control of the Police Board and other State patronage in this city. The Noonanites are making the claim that the opposition is made up largely of the Independents who figured in the last municipal election, but this is denied in terms most em- phatic by Chairman Wilkinson of the Anti-Push Executive Committee. Chairman Wilkinson said to-day speaking of the Noonan opposition: ‘‘We are all Demo- cratic business men and we are Democrats who are opposed to the Noonan-Dalton ine. As Democrats who Delieve inup- holding the party, we know it would be wrong to let this city fall into the hands of the Mayor absolutely. The organization is being rapidly perfected in all the wards and you may say with emphasis that this work is not in the interest of any one gubernatorial candidate. It isa move- mentof Democrats, and has no connection whatever with the independent campaign of last year. The various committees are considering matters and _ shaping the campaign which will be waged without any intermission until the results are known. There will be no meeting at the Southern to-night as far as known, but there will be meetings, and lots of them, before this campaign is closed.’’ THOROUGH CAMPAIGN ASSURED. A mistaken impression prevails that Mr. Frank kK. O’Neil is at the head of literary bureau of the anti-push movement, The chairman of this committee is Judge James A. Seddon. To-day a sub- committee of the excutive organization is at work looking for suitable headquarters. By to-morrow the quarters will be secured, furnished and occupied by the committee. ‘here willbe an abundance of literature furnished toshowthe Democrats what Noonanism has donefor st. Louls and Whatits perpetuity means. The Ward and Precinct Committees will make it a point to see the Democratic voters and urge themto go to the polls. The plan is to get outas many Democrat votes as pos- sibie. The anti-Noonan Committee realizes fact that the ar- my of employes controlled by the Mayor will be out, and voting at a lively rate as well as the street railroad companies and other corpora- tions indebted ‘*de push’’ for franchises and favors. lo offset this, the Democrats opposed to Noonan rule @nd the combination he has entered into with Dalton, must gotothe polls. The com- mittee wili lay special stress on the fact that the primaries will be conducted under the Ryan law, which guarantees an honest vote and a fair count, to ~ Push Chiefs in Council Chairman Swift of the Dalton- Noonan com- Dination was in the Executive Committees’ eadquarters in the Richelieu Hotel early this morningand about 10 o’clock he was joined by Mayor Noonan, Secretary Mack- linand Treasurer Lucas. The ‘‘pushers’’ then began dropping in one by one, sprinkling inspectors, street .department workers and other city employes being among them. ‘They all wanted instructions from Col, Swift, the grand vizier of the push chief. He gave the instructions and out thecity employes went to execute them. They ali talked Dalton and they all assured the Major and the Executive chairman that they had it ali ‘‘fixed’’ for Dalton. ‘‘Dere won’t be no opposition in der ward—see,’’ said one of the Mayor’s workers with a gesture. ‘‘Nobody’s in it but Dalton up dere.’’ After delivering himself of this assuring speech he went out to round up *‘de push in de fourteent:’’ When a Post-DIsPyvTCH representative vis- {ited the headquarters the Mayor and Col. Swift were engaged in an earnest conversa tion. Swift looked cheerful, but His Honor did not weara very pleasant expression. **You can say,’’ said the Chairman, ‘‘that Dalton’s boom is stili booming and will continue toboom, I note that Col.
