his FRIENDS WANT THE DEMOCRAT
CITIZENS NOMINATION
One of Them Says That Since Ma
tionat Issues Are TabOoed He VIII
Re Pushed for the MayOraIty-
Each Republican Candidate
Thinks He Has n Cinch.

Daniel w. LaWler has declared HIM
self as a candidate for mayor on the
Democrat Citizens ticket. and his
friends announce that they will see to
1t that a sufficient number OF delegates
are elected at the primaries March so
to secure his nomination III the con-
Vention.
There has been SO much talk" said
friend of Mr.. Lawler last evening,
"about national questions being taboo
ed during the coming municipal cam
paign, that Lawler has decided to make
the race. He is certainly by far the
strongest candidate mentioned up to
date, and, if nominated, can be elected
no matter how many candidates there
are in the field.
'Of course, in order to secure the
nomination he must get a sufficient
number of delegates in the convention
and this must be settled at the pri
marieS. The only other candidate l
have heard mentioned is Pierce Butler,
and, without knowing as to whether
Mr.. Butler is going to make the race
or not, l can say that Mr.. Lawler Is
and will have a delegate ticket at each
of the precinct primaries"
Manager Charles Comiskey, of the
st. Paul Base Ball club, has been men
toned as a candidate for alderman
from the Eighth ward ON the Demo-
cratic ticket.
In speaking of the honor thus thrust
upon him, Mr.. Comiskey last evening
said: How can l lose. All l have
to do is to print my name Komiski and
I'm elected unanimously"
1.-THE coming Republican convention
will turn down either Aid. Bell or As
semblyman Dix" said a prominent
Sixth ward politician yesterday. Not
fl,of of ho iS
titled to denomination" continued the
Sixth warder, but solely on account
of the fact that both of them are from
the southeastern portion Of the ward
The residents of the flats and also
the north end of the ward are insisting
that the council honors be more evenly
distributed as to location. 1t is argued,
and not without cause, that all the
improvements made during the past
two years have been confined to that
portion Of the ward where the alder
man and assemblyman live.
This will be a factor in the fight be-
fore the convention, and will mean the
passing of either one or the other from
the political field"

Bimetallic league, left yesterday with r. w.

of resolutions passed at a meeting of the BIZ
metallic league. meeting of the Democratic
city committee will be called for Wednesday
or Thursday evening. and the resolutions
taken I have not the least idea. 1 have
always argued for harmony in the Democratic
ranks and have invited the Democrat Citizens
committee to meet with us, and, If possible,
Instead of action the members Of that
committee claim to be the only legal organi-
ration, and while they talk loudly Of har-
mony, make no move in that direction"

dicott building, Col. Sam Lowenstein. 'Shell''
Bakely and George N. Warren were seated
at one end of a twelve-foot table. The trio
were evidently discussing matters of state,
for. when reporter of The G entered,
conversation Immediately ceased.
The boom is all right" said Col. Lowen-
stein, and unless something we know moth
ing about should happen, Mr.. Donahower will
be the nominee on the Republican ticket
Aid. Donahower came in at this point in the
conversation and informed his colleagues that
he had just returned from an inqusition.
"How's that?" queried "Shell'' Blakely.
Why, there was lot of business men,"
replied the prospective candidate for mayor,
''who had never heard of and were
anxious to what looked like and, on in
vitation, held conference with them.
1T looks as though in it, when things
running that way, doesn't it?' said the
Fourth ward alderman. The trio agreed that
it did, and, with the statement that he had
business at his law office, Mr.. Donahower
bade his lieutenants good afternoon

Of ho 1fv LOTT fror ~
Ninth ward.
I'VE are not making much noise' responded
Judge Howard, when asked as to the outlook
but we will have the delegates when tie time
comes, and that is what will count. Mr..
Feldhauser will be the nominee of the Re-
publican convention for mayor.
He is a young man, clean cut has the
necessary business qualification, and aside

Col. Kiefer opened headquarters on the fifth
floor of the Germania bank building yester-
day. Desks and chairs were moved in vester-
day morning, and last evening the man in
charge OF the elevator stated that if the rush
of visitors to the fifth floor continued he
would have to insist on additional salary
The Headquarters were crowded during the
afternoon with friends of the gallant war
horse and it was agreed both in German
and English that Kiefer would be the next
mayor.
"I'll tell you what shows that Kiefer is
popular with the Masses, said one of the
Eighth ward strikers. You will notice that the
Democrats talk about all the other candidates
but never word is said about Kiefer. The
reason is that they are afraid he will be
nominated and l guess a good many of the
Republicans are of the same mind
You watch and see how the German-Amer-
leans stand together for Kiefer at the pri
mar1es, and the votes he will get there are
but small part of what he would get at the
polls after he is nominated
