has been launched and is in fair way to make
safe haven the Republicans turning their attention
to city matters The city election will have de-
cided bearing on the State election this year. Many
Democrats do not want to see Mayor Matthews re-
elected OF course Mayor Matthews will be candidate
for reelection. 1t was understood when the Demo
cratic City Committee was chosen this year that
Matthews controlled majority of its members. and II is
evident that he is figuring for political points The
Republicans, if they would defeat Matthews, must
nominate a strong That man will probably be
ex-Mayor Hart BostOn's postmaster Mr.. Hart made a
good Mayor and his friends declare that he would con-
sent TO run again if nominated. 1t is Understood that
Matthews has made deal with the Prohibition leaders
and that Prohibition candidate will be in the field
That OF course would not hurt the Democrats. The
Prohibltonists are looking toward Eugene H. CIapp
n candidate They wanted to nominate him for Gov
ernor on account OF his large bank account but his
health would not permit.
