course, the city committee won't do
anything of the sort. But Downs
friends mean business, and they assert
that they can secure over 500 signers to
TOMS petition as an independent. This
assertion causes Toms head to swell
slightly, and he wants to run. There is
no doubt but that he could poll very
heavy vote in the Fifth. His friends
are of that opinion. and he will prob
ably run.
I The First warders are not saying very
much during this campaign, but they
are working just the same. They have
held several big meetings of which no
fnention has been made in the papers.
Last Sunday they had a ''corker'' in the
! East side Turner hall. which was adj
dressed by P. b. Winston, w. II. Dona-
hue, c. II. Erbert and others. To-mor-
row night they will have another. The
Brueshabers, disgruntled because they
couldn't renominate their man, are
working hard for Chatterton. but they
cannot defeat Honest Joe" Ingenhutt.
AS member of the park board and the
city council, Ingenhutt has rendered
services which the First ward voters
are not slow to recognize.
/ AT the Forum debate at Harmonic
hall tomorrow evening the question
i"What is the great issue involved in
this campaign" will be discussed by
representatives of all the political par
ties. Chairman Wells, of the Prohibit
ton state central committee, and
United States Commissioner Republic
can Reciprocity Odell will represent
their respective parties. The Alliance
and Democrats have not named their
representatives yet.

Loren Fletcher has made glad the
heart of the Republican party. He as
SertS that he will vote and work for
Merriam. Perhaps he will. Time works
wonders, and if "Uncle Loren'' works
for Merriam this year it will be WON
der. Two years ago he did the sulking
act. But conditions are different now.
Loren has that congressional nomina-
ton continually before his eyes. Sulk-
ing now might result in sulking two
years hence-but on the other side of
the fence.
The Afro-American league, the OBJ
Jects of which are to advance the inter
ests of the colored man, has elected E.
Wood as it's president for the ensuing
year. The defeated factions assert that
Woods election is part of scheme on
the part OF John Sterritt to throw votes
to the Democrats. But this accusation
against John isn't believed.
