CANDIDATES ARE APPEARING
The School DirectOrShipS Seem to Create
the Most Interest.
PEOPLE ARE NOT WARMED UP YET
But One Candidate For Council Officially
Announced-Aspirants for the School
Board are More Plentiful -situa-
tion in the Third Ward.

Preparations for the spring election
progress slowly, the holiday season no doubt
preventing most people from giving atten-
ton to the matter, and, as i'm previous years,
there will he a grand rush to have names
placed on the tickets to be presented at the
Citizens primaries during the last ten days
or two weeks of the limit fixed by the COM
mttee. Efforts to arouse interest i'm the ap-
proach Of the campaign have certainly
been in time and none will have cause to
complain that they have not had time to
think the matter over
But while political affairs have been So
quiet as to almost be obscure during the
hustle attending the holidays, there have
been some movements and considerable talk. .
This has been especially the case in the
Third ward Almost Immediately after the
fall election talk about the spring election
started up and the reports led to the supposi-
ton that the number of candidates for the
nominations for School Director and Council
ON the Citizens ticket would almost out
number the combined candidates i'm the other
four wards for the respective offices. During
the past two weeks this state of affairs has
changed and it is probable that when the
day for holding the primaries arrives the
Citzcns of this wand will SO we'll
understand each other that there will be no
more candidates for the two positions in their
territory than in any other part, and the
feeling will be such that the candidate at the
primary will be the candidate of the united
party ON election day.
Thus far but one candidate for Council in
the Third ward is officially announced. This
one is James II. Morgan. Benjamin Richards.
John II. Reese and William Daddow have
been spoken of as probable candidates for
the Office but each have declared that, while
pressure has been brought to bear upon them
in that direction, they have no intention of
entering the field. Monroe II. Kchler has
also been spoken of, but it is not likely
that he will be a candidate. 1t is
the term Of r. j. James that is
expiring. At first he positively de
clared that he would not he "a candidate for
reelection, feeling content with four terms of
three years each, and had his eye on the
nomination for School Director. subsequently
he abandoned thought of the latter and since
ascertaining this fact several of his friends
have been prevailing upon him to give Couu-
ell one more trial. The pcrsuasions have
succeeded far enough to cause him to change
his mind about not becoming a candidate for
Council again, but have not led him as yet to
a declaration that he will enter the field In
short, he is considering the matter.
As to the School Dircctorship in the Third
ward there is little or no talk now. This is
in contrast with the situation of a few weeks
ago, when more interest centcrcd ON this
position than any other. Thus far no candi-
dates are officially announced aud the re-
ported candidates have dwindled from 10 or
II to less than four, Some political veterans
of the ward lean to the belief that when the
time comes TO make the nomination William
T. Trezise, whose term is expiring, will be
nominated to succeed himself with very
little, if any opposition.
In the Second ward b. c. Church is the
first to declare himself a candidate He will
seek the nomination for School Director.
If any Others are looking for it they are
keeping themselves well in the background
at present EX-School Director Thomas
BELLS is also a declared candidate The
term of G. w. Dengler as Justice of the
/ Peace is expiring and Mr.. Bells is a candi-
date for the position. OF course, Mr.. Denglcr
/ will be a candidate for denominations
Taliesin Phillips is a candidate for renomina-
tion as Constable in this ward. No notice of
opposition has been given.
In the Fourth ward only the School
Directorship has thus far commanded atten-
ton. r. j, Broughall has officially announced
himself as Il candidate on the Citizens
ticket, while Thomas Brennan and Y. J.
Mullahy are said to be seeking the nomina.
tion on the Democratic ticket
In the Fifth ward the School Directorship
has also received first attention. Charles
Hoffman is full hedged candidate for
the nomination ON the Citizens ticket. James
j. Dewitt, the present incumbent will
seek nomination on the Democratic ticket
and Thomas Mcclure will oppose him. The
two candidates are determined and hot
battle may be looked for, There is talk Of
Christ, Foltz becoming candidate for Council
ON the Citizens ticket in this ward. William
Bender is a declared candidate for Constable
ON the Citizens ticket and Thomas Bum
will seek the Democratic nomination to hold
ON to his job.
Thus far there is but one candidate for %
position ON the Citizens borough ticket james
Emanuel announces himself for reuomina-
tion as High Constable by the Citizens
party. James Matthews will seek similar
nomination on the Democratic ticket
