Assistant Corporation Attorney Tay-
Tor, to whom has been referred the ques-
ton of whether the Republicans will
have the naming of two of the three
judges of election in each preciact, eX-
poets to hand down his opinion today.
While the opinion has not been dictat-
ed as yet, it is announced unofficially
that Mr.. Taylor will hold that the
Judges should be selected from the Re
publican, Democratic and Prohibition
parties, each being entitled to one
judge
The opinion will not decide which
branch of the Democratic party shall
be recognized, and this contention will
have to be fought out before the coun-
Gil, which will have the final decision,
unless the matter is taken into the
courts.
'If Mr.. Arosin is a candidate for
mayor, the First ward will support him
to man." said a city official who re-
sides in that ward.
1--WE will have no throwing off for
Doran, however, and, if the scheme
is to have Arosin get the Endorsement
and then swing the delegation into line
for Doran, the former assemblyman
will find that he has made the mis-
take of his life so far as his political
aspirations al concerned"
mo, Louis Nash is not a member
of the Workingmen's Political league"
said a member of that organization
yesterday.
when the organiZa ton was started,
Nash filed application for membership
and the committee, after duly deliber
ating, notified him to be present at the
next meeting and qualify.
One of the bylaws of the league
declares that the members must abide
by the decision of a majority of the
members. When Nash was called upon
to sign the constitution and bylaws,
he objected to this clause, and refused
to become a member.
well, l don't know what Mr.. Nash's
reasons were for declining to join, eX-
cept that he may have had bunch
that the league would declare for Err
win, and such action might give him a
black eye, so far as his race for mayor
was concerned.
Il am only one of the members of the
league, but I'm for Erwin, and l fail
to see how the organization can afford
to turn that gentleman down."

The friends of John j. Kelly, local
manager of the Northwestern Fuel
company, are insisting that, he accept
the Democratic nomination for alder
man Of the Fifth ward. While Mr..
Kelly is active in politics, he does not
take kindly to the idea of himself run
ming for Office, but it is possible that
he will acceed to the wishes of his
friends. Mr.. Kelly has lived In the
ward ever since he was boy, and
is well known to nearly every resident
of that part of the city.
The name of Jacob Lauer of Lauer
Bros, stone contractors, is being freely
mentioned as the Fifth wards cand}-
date for the assembly. Mr. Lauer is
not q politician in any sense Of the
word, but he wants to see installed
once more in st. Paul a clean and eff
ficient government, and, if he can be
of active assistance in bringing about
that much desired condition, his time
and services, it is understood, are at
the command of his neighbors and the
citizens generally. Mr.. Lauer is an
old resident of ST. Paul, widely and ia
vorably known, especially in business
circles.
