FOR AssEMBLYMEN AND ALDERMEN.
In the First district Mr.. Michael J. Kelly has vir-
tuay the field to himsef-not because that IN such
thoroughly democratic district as It is there
would not be numerous candidates OF the old pri-
mary stripe-but that because his candidacy deters

In the Second district the fight will be between
sentatves q former being James banph the

There Is also here the promise of a severely con.
tested field. Mr.. Richard Croker who, couple OF

nominee, Coroner Schirmer, Is again candidate.
