Democratic Rally Notes and Political Maneuvering
A ward 8 rally presided by Rep P D Dwyer featured Hon P A Collins urging weekly pay for large employers, convict labor limits, poll tax abolition, and employer liability. Democrats backed these bills, Republicans opposed. Other speakers included Flynn Flatley McLaughlin Dwyer Murphy and Galvin. Weymouth and East Bridgewater rallies followed with Hart Cross Burke and Douglass endorsing candidates. Ward 3 hosted a rally with Marshall and two rep candidates. Rumor places General Hazard Stevens as a ward 24 nominee replacement. Stevens aided city charter reform and Boston tax acts, favoring biennial sessions and weekly pay. The Colored Men’s stance on Governor Robinson appeared in ward 9 caucus discussions.
