DehoOves them to grit their leins and
prepare for the fray. From present
indications the fight III the Third ward
will be the hottest and most interesting.
The candidates there are legion. but
many of them will never have the
felicity of seeing their names in print.
Joseph l.. Kiichli, the president of the
council, will retire from the council, his
term expiring, and 1t is und erstOod he
has aspirations III the dire ction of
something higher. His name has been
mentioned for the mayoralty. and again
for the state senatorshiD from his dis
trict. However that may be. there are
no end Of those who would gladly fill
his present position and wear his shoes.

resented one portion Of the ward in the
council and VINO was defeated by Aid.

will make hard fight for the place,
with bu, little show OF winning. DR..
CHARLES Kisller is of the opinion that he
has done enough to be sent to the coun-

senger agent of the st. Louis road, will
represent the Grand Army interests.
In the First ward Aid. Joseph lngen-
hutt. called among other things "!Ionest
Joe" and "ieutonic joe" will make an
effort to he returned. There are those

Joe pleads not guilty. Among the other
aspirants in that ward Tor council favors
are }. j. Foel. the Central avenue
druggist, and ex-Ald. John MCGOWAN.

made friends among them when he
fought for their rights during the fire
department muddle.
Aid. Rand Is said to be a candidate
for reelection in the Sixth. though it
has been whispered he is likely to come

once occupied, and which is now in the
hands of Jim Eye. At any rate the
scramble for the place will be lively

from the council this fall will be greater
than ever before. So many measures
have come up and been passed in such
