tenfels, for alderman, IS meeting with
strong support among the German vota
ers, and he will receive a large vote
The man who just at present is keep
ing republicans and democrats alike
guessing is A. A. Rheutan. Just where
he viii land is uncertain, and candi-
dates on both sides are trembling in
their shoes. In view of the determined
republican opposition to Mr.. Rheutan
it seems hardly probable that he can
be elected.
In the republican camp, the only con4
Germ is to get out the vote. The defeat
of any of the straight republican NOM
inees can be attributed only to tha
stay-at-hOme vote. The city commit
tee is leaving no stone unturned to get
these voters to the polls on election
day, and from 5000 to 10000 postal cards
are being sent through the mail in an
effort to accomplish the object in view.
A special meeting of the republican
city committee has been called for this
evening, and at that time the checS
lists will be gone over, hacks provided
for and other provisions made for get
! ting out the vote on election day.
! The following call has been issued
/ from republican headquarters:
/ The members of all republican rail-
! lying committees are requested to meet
/ at republican headquarters this (Sat-
urday) evening at s o'clock. Reports

| committee win hold meeting at head
quarters at s o'clock to make final ar
| rangements concerning the getting out
/ OF the republican vote on election day.

John Whalen, candidate for the com
mon council in ward has come to the
conclusion that he does not care to
chance it, and yesterday served the fol-
lowing notice upon City Clerk Towne:
Mr.. Towne: Dear Sir-I do not want
my name on the official ballot as a can
didate for councilman from ward as
have authorized no one to put it on.
Yours truly
