swearing that if Kiefer don't haul off
his men and keep out of the fight for

and they will so after the mayor in a
way that he won't like. Both Libby
and Irish feel that they are getting
the worst Of it from the administration,
and the attitude of Mic Pottgieser,
who still has something Of a pull in
the Fourth, is not much to their lik-
ing.

him to fame equal to that accorded

Pod Dismukes, that is, the Hon. Mic

self. He feels that the iron of ingrati-
tude rankles in his soul and he is after
the Fourth ward push. He threatens
them with Ames and he points to Kleter
as the man of his making and dares
them to thrown him down in conVen-
ton without giving him chance. The
trouble with the Fourth ward crowd
is that they can't help themselves with
regard to Mic. They have got to avoid
him, for they can't afford to antagonize
Hitler Horton. If they don't fight Hiier
they will give Mic a chance to do the
best he can for Ames. And there you
are. Henry Johns will not be stopped
and WlckWipe says he was put into
the race to stay. Irish has got them

get away from the necessity for COM
binations, but he evidently cannot and
he is compromising to the extent Of
putting UP delegations which contain
each a Horton man, an Arrol supporter
and Pottg.eser booster.
Billy Johnson has gone a-hunting. He
has let go Of the chase after the nimhle
and unstable delegate and gone out af-
ter the elusive chicken-which latter
will stay shot, however when he is
once brought down. Aid. Donahower
has also gone out after chickens. 1t is
loudly proclaimed that the two states
men went in opposite directions-Whicn
announcement is somewhat super

mixed in his own bailliwick for there
are other candidates who will not

district bench nomination and the other

son, as it is expected that two offices
will go to the ward, but Willrich will
have trouble on his hands and will have
to fight Johnson.
The senatorial nomination for the
district, comprised of the Third and
Ninth wards, IS going to make trouble
for the Republicans. The candidacy
Of Ed Feldhauser is fading Mr.. Field
hauser is out Of it and 1t was thought
few days ago that J. Watson Smith
would have a Walkaway for the NOM
ination. Now comes DR.. Wirth, a man
Of prominence in the Ninth, with d
big following and he declares that he
will have the nomination himself. AS
he has gone actively to work the
chances for J. Watson Smith getting
through are becoming Simmer daily.
One thing is certain, Mr.. Feldhauser
will not go to the convention as dele
gate. Mr.. Feldhauser feels he at least
can control his own precinct, even If
Mr. Smith is a resident Of 1T.
