About Next Years Elections.
As soon as the county election is out
of the way there promises to be some
interesting contests for nominations foi
| the February election. The poor drcc-
torship fight has already opened, and
on the Republican side it looks like
scramble to get the plum. Gilbert
Smith, of Highland, and DR.. Tom
Powell, of Hazeton, are in the field
while Sandy Monroe, also of Hazlcton
is being strongly urged to get in tn,
race by his friends, who assure him of =
denomination.
On the Democratic side f. p. Malloy,
of town, has the nomination to himself
so far, and is doing some quiet ard eff
fective caiiyassing. Any attempt tc
beat him for the nomination will result
in nothing but to show how strongly he
has confidence in his ability to carry the
day when the election is held
For the representative nomination
next year there is some talk on botl
sides. Representative Jeffrey has indi-
rectly announced himself, Reese Lloyd.
of Freeland, is spoken of, as are alst
c. l.. Wilde and w. l.. Powell, of Halle
ton. Republican candidates are likely
to be plentiful, but the Democrats, as
usual, will make the winner work hard
to get there. Daniel BrichoT and Matt
Long, both of lIazleton, are mentioned
for the honor, and either would run well
on the North Side, providing IIazlcton
Democrats do what is expected of them
in the coming election with Frceland's
candidate for recorder, Mr.. Maloy.
In the borough there are three candi-
dates training for the squircship on the
Democratic ticket. Constable Quiglcy.
eX-Squire Myers and Hugh Shovlin are
feeling their way for delegates. The
opponent of the Democratic nominee
will in all probability be Justice Lewis
who was appointed recently by the gov
crnor to fill the uneXpired term of Squire
Stroh.
For constable Patrick Welsh Will make
an effort to capture that position. No

Councilmanc candidates will be nu-
merous, if all rumors are true. Several
are trying to read the future, but none
have yet launched their booms. Among
those mentioned who would make strong
candidates for the ticket are Condy O.
Boyle, =. IL. IIanlon, c. ID. Rohrbach,
Neal Cara, Charles Dusheck, William
Gallagher, NJ. Halpin, j. j. Ward and
John Shigo 1t is said that four will be
elected next year.
On the school board the terms of
Directors Welsh and Shclhamcr expire in
June. The former may again be a can
didate. Others talked of for the Demo-
cratic ticket are Charles Moerschbachcr.
J. p. Mcdonald, Alex. Mulhearn, p c.
Miller and Bernard Boyle.
In Foster there is but little talk on
either side. The Democrats are over
whclmingly in the minority, and only by
chance can any of them slip into an Of
flee. The organization that runs the
other party there has not given out its
ticket to the public
In Halle there is one candidate an
nourced, John Mohan, of Jeddo, who is
in the field for supervisor. He intends
to make the contset an interesting one
If opposition appears. Through sickness
he has been unable to work for the past
fourteen months, and cannot re-enter
the mines for another year. Mr.. Mo-
hans friends in the township are numer
Gus and his nomination is looked upon
as sure thing.
