Vogt can look for other jobs any time.
while Bursell, in the Tenth, might as
we'll not try again. He was invited less
than year ago to resign, and he no
doubt can take hint just as well as any
one. Billings has got enough, and
though four-year man, may resign, as
he is tired of council routine. Ii ne
does this it will leave two places for
Democrats. Phillips and Fultz will
both be relegated to private life after
the ides OF November, as the Eleventh
ward people want Democratic
council. The Twelfth ward will
have the usual number of can
didateS TO select from. Both Vande-
walker and Adams would like to
return, but that cannot be. The people
about this. Aid. Gray and Warren will
though both say they do not care about
going back to the council. The Demo
Gratis of the ward say they feel as the
aldermen do. and the result. of course,
will be that both stay home, and Dem
ocratie alderman will represent the
ward with ''Dora" Farnsworth.
A good, many people are not entirely
satisfied with the way the municipal
court is being conducted, end this dis
satisfaction is hot confined to the Dem
ocrats. The Republicans, for the most
part, are quite as diSpleaSed with the
way Justice IS dealt out there, and a
secret campaign is being made on this
point. 1t is the intention of those hay
ing the matter in hand to make every
legislative candidate promise to sup
port bill to legiSlate the present judges
out Of office, and make the offices four
years Instead of six years, as now. This
new campaign is working we'll for those
who are at the back of it, and they say
it will go through without a doubt. A
close friend of the father of the scheme
lean party in Minneapolis is disSatis
fed with the present system. and that
the party sees no other way of remedy
ing the matter except by legislation. 1t
will be surprise to many to see this in
print so soon, but the GLOBE believes
in giving the news when it comes. and
not waiting to hear what others think
of it.
Mayor Babb has not yet appointed
the ''ehief ranger" or dog catcher, as
he is known among the common folks.
One day last week. while the mayor
was buSily engaged running over heap
of correspondence with Maj. Norton, he
was interrupted by several louu knocks
Oh the Office door. The clerk opened
the door, and tall man, with q. A. r.
buttons OH his coat, and two weeks
growth of beard on his face, entered.
He wanted to be dog catcher, and he
had basketfui of letters from promi-
nent Republicans indorsing him for the
place. The mayor told him he would
consider his application later on, and
dismissed him. The door was no sooner
closed than another loud knock on the
North end of it was heard. 1t was eX-
Dog Choker Bresslauer, and he wanted
a 'reappolntment. Il have here, yer
homer" he SAID, 'letters from E. NJ.
several other good Republicans indoors
ing me for the place, and you know how
| conducted the Office last year-on the
fetrenehment and reform basiS-made
my deputies work sixteen hours day
and do all the work, too" The mayor
would make no promises, and MIR. BreSS-
iauer was shown into the hallway. A
few minutes later Jim Edge called on
the mayor in BreSSlauer'S behalf; and,
after discussing this appointment,
which the mayor seemed to regard as
very important from a Republican
standpoint. he limited to the sheriff that
Bresslauer, to get the appointment,
must have the Endorsement Of the Union
league. When the sheriff left the may
or's office he hunted up Bresslauer, and
told him how necessary it would be to
have the Union leagues Endorsement,
and BreSslauer started out on dogs
trot to get the leagues Endorsement.
What powerful factor in local poll
tics the Union league is getting to be.
