What has drawn Mr. Brautigam into
the race is not known, nor can his friends
understand his move. When he left the
Board of Finance he said he was so dis
gusted with politics that he would never
enter public life again. 1t is understood
perfectly that his acceptance.of the Sena-
torial nomination at this time will not
put him back in public life, but it is
being whispered that he Is running this
time merely to get himself in training
for another nomination little later on.
Rumor has it that Brautigam aspires to
be Mayor. His Republican friends insist
that running this time will make him
stronger than if he We're sprung on the
public next April without having been
introduced.
The Republicans have in their councils
some individual who hasa mania for let
ter writing. There is to be one more
address to voters issued. The Repub-
licans have already sprung a half dozen
All have fallen nat. This new one issre-
ported to be a daisy The opportunity

Mr.. Brautigam is TO be met this after
noon at four O'Clock in the Union League
Club House by a committee of the Re-
publican convention. The unanimity of
the convention will be impressed upon
him. He already knows of the fnonotony
of the proceedings OF that body. He
knows. too, that his chances of election
are infinitesimally small The members
of the committee have been informed
that he will accept. His letter of accept

licans expect, will startie the community.
