THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.
SUTHERLAND EXPECTED TO WIN
TODAY'S MAYORALTY FIGHT.
Gossip About the Republican City Con-
vention-A Number of Candidates
to Choose From-Notes
and Gossip.

Today the Republican city convention
will convene at Turnverein hall to NOM
mate city ticket. In all probability
@. E. Day will be elected chairman. No
other name has as yet been suggested.
1t is hard to say who the nominee for
mayor will be. The situation has not
changed any within the past 4S hours.
Theodore Summerland still has the
strongest following of any of three can
didates. At least his friends claim that
he has, and they are confident that he
will be nominated on the first
ballot. The truth Of the matter is that
the strength Mr.. Summerland has mus.
tered has really surprised the Republi-
can politicians and alarmed the other
candidates for the mayoralty. He has
received support from quarters where it
was never dreamed he would get vote.
Men have come to his standard in his
fight for the nomination for mayor
whom it was supposed would be his bit
ter antagonists. @. NJ. Wells has with
drawn from the race. He failed to carry
his own ward and this practically elm
mated him as factor. The remaining
among all of the candidates.
Next to Mr.. Summerland Mr.. Hazard
has the greatest following among the
mated on the first ballot it looks to o
Hazard would be on the second or
third. Mr.. Tufts friends are making
hard fight for him but his nomination,
if accomplished, will really be sur
prise.
AS to the city clerk the fight has mar
rowed down between Chas. Luck en-
bach, ex-Councilman Hamilton and j.
A. Kelly. AS to auditor there are still
IA candidates in the field The friends
Of Fred Teale claim that he will get the
nomination. Major Bonsall thinks that
he has it certain. VIM. M. Garland
says that he will have it on the fourth
ballot. II. j. Shoulders considers that
he has sure thing, and go one might 60
through the list.
There are multiplicity of candidates
for street superintendent. In the Sec
ond ward there are only three candi-
dates alone. 1t is hard to say-in fact,
impossible-who will win this fight.
For city treasurer it is believed that
M. d. johnson will capture the nomi-
nation for third time, as will also Len
Thompson for tax collector.
For city attorney there is a warm con-
test between Frank Willis and Charles
Mcfarland. 1t is close race.
The chances are j. w. Hinton will be
renominated for assessor.
For city engineer no one seems anx-
ious to enter the field against Henry
Dockweiler, but candidate will prob
ably be found in time.
Today's convention will decide several
important questions, but it is altogether
probable that the convention will be in
session two days.
