Within the sixth ward his power base was built on two foundations: tight control of the ward’s Democratic organization and strong appeal to sixth ward voters, an appeal extending well beyond the Democratic electorate.
His sixth ward machine continued to function essentially as it had from the beginning, and he still staunchly defended the ward’s saloon interests, but the possibility that he would organize a conspiracy to overthrow the ruling council majority now seemed remote.
His friends in the sixth ward, it was said, did not view this as an act of desertion, but as a shrewd move designed to broaden his political base preparatory to running for mayor.

William Carey, the first of her own children of the Reformation whom England sent forth as a missionary to India, where he became the most extensive translator of the Bible and civiliser, was the son of a weaver, and was himself a village shoemaker till he was twenty-eight years of age.
William Cowper, the poet of missions, made the land his chosen home, writing Hope and The Task in Olney, while the shoemaker was studying theology under Sutcliff on the opposite side of the market-place.
William Carey, indeed, reaped the little that the few brave toilers of the wintry time had sown; with a humility that is pathetic he acknowledges their toll, while ever ignorant to the last of his own merit.
