TALKED OF FOR ALDERMEN.
Who Ii Is Said Are Likely TO Be on The
Tickets.

A Number of Weli-Known Citizens
Mentioned for Places on the Tickets.
Reasonably Certain That Most of
Those Mentioned VIII Be Hamed-The
Rush on the Tax Collectors Once
TO Begin Again To-day-Many Voters
Likely TO Be Shut Out-A Suggestion
TO Do Away with the Crowd.
Saturdays registration list is published
in to-days Morning News. It is safe TO
say that the list will be very carefully
studied by the politicians. and efforts made
TO figure out which side has the best Of
it. Each side will claim to have the best,
OF course.
The politicians are pretty shrewd at
this sort Of thing and can figure out APP
proxmately how the majority Of those
whose names appear on the list. stand
toward the two candidates for mayor.
The political Affiliations. his interests and
employment. and his race and religion are
all taken into consideration in making
these estimates.
Fair-minded men on both sides. however.
acknowledge that the number Of voters
who keep their mouths shut when polit-
ical subjects are under discussion. and
vote without Announcing their prefer
ences. is going to be very large this year
1t is the independent voter that the al
dermanlc tickets are intended 10 catch,
and because the number Of independent
voters is believed TO be so large this year.
both sides are making every effort to get
first-class material for their aldermanic
tickets. According to report both sides
are meeting with fair success. The Citi-
zens Club leaders have been quietly cam
cussing for some time, and are said to
have practically agreed on a ticket, or the
greater part Of it, to be presented to the
club at its next meeting. The nominating
committee of the opposition held several
meetings last week and is said to have
secured several first-elass men for the
ticket. besides having enough material I'M
der consideration to complete the ticket
1t is not expected that either ticket will
be announced to the public this week.
but it is likely that before the end of the
week the composition of the two tickets
win be pretty we'll understood.
1t is pretty well assured that the names
of the following gentlemen will appear
on the Myers ticket: Maj. Edward Ka-
row, DR.. L. A. Falligant. +. A. Well,
Harry Willink. John J. Carolan, f.. c.
Gleason, G. A. Hudson, W. J. Watson,
j. NJ Dixon and Henry Kolshorn. This
leaves two vacant places.
The Duncan ticket is talked about as
follows: w. G. Cam, Edward f. Lowell,
John Schwarz, r. H. Mcmillan, c. ID.
Baldwin, John Juchter, Joseph Hull, p.
J. O'Connor, T. ]. Davis, Charles A. Cox,
w. G. Charlton and Thomas Screven.
Alderman Screven is said to have con-
scented to the use of his name on the
Duncan ticket. 1t is doubtful If Alderman
Charlton will stand for re-electione
though it Is understood that he has been
requested to do so. 1t is known that a
majority of the names mentioned on the
Duncan ticket have been slated and the
others are understood to be under consid-
Grafton.
The rush to pay taxes will begin again
to-day, and it is likely to keep up all
the week. over 1900 more names are ex-
pected TO go upon the registration books
tomorrow and Saturday. 1t must be
taken into consideration, however, that a
large percentage of the unregistered
voters have not paid their taxes, and 1t
is very doubtful if the tax collector can
attend 10 all who desire to pay their
taxes this week. 1t is morally certain that
many intending voters are going to be
shut out on account of their inability to
get their taxes paid in time to register.
1t is a good thing for Capt MCGOWAN
that the police will be on hand to pre-
serve order, otherwise there might be seri-
Gus trouble in his Office between the con-
tending factions.
The Morning News has heard sugges-
tons from several parties that the two
factions mutually agree to do away with
the crowd of heelers employed by each
TO hold places in line at the tax collec-
tors office, and that instead the commit
tee on each side appoint three men each
10 represent them in the payment of all
taxes handled by the committees 1t
should also be agreed that these repre-
sentatives should alternate at the window.
IT would harly be expected that the rep
resentatives of the two factions would
act like brothers toward each other, but
still it would do away with the crowd
that will otherwise besiege the collectors
Office all the week, and this would be a
great gain.
