j. c. Michael will probably be one of
the candidates for the mayoralty nomi-
nation before the Democratic Citizens
convention.
Mr.. Michael was boosted into the
race last night.
The Central Democratic association
held meeting at A. o. U. w. hall and
discussed the available candidates.
Pierce Buffers name was mentioned,
but Mr.. Butler said he couldn't made
the race. Henry Haas was also men
toned, but Mr.. Haas also declined.
Finally motion was made that it
was the sense of the association that J.
c. Michael should be made the stand
ard bearer at the coming campaign and
this was passed by a unanimous vote.
A committee was appointed consist
ing of President T. L. Kane, Henry
Haas and Pierce Butler to notify Mr..
Michael of the action of the club.
1t was the general opinion that Mr..
Michael would consent to make the
fight for the nomination if a fight is
necessary and, if it is not necessary, to
accept the nomination.
There was conSidera BILE excitement
yesterday afternoon among the man
ayers and assistant managers of the
several mayoralty booms over the re-
ported withdrawal Of Edward Field
hauser from the race
Mr.. Feldhauser was found in the cor
ridor of the Germania Life building
shaking hands with members of the
Commercial club. who greeted him as
Mr. Mayor"
There is nothing to the statement
that [ have withdrawn" said Mr.. Field
hauser. Il can assure you that l have
not and will not withdraw, and, what
is more to the point, I am as good as
nominated right a this time. 1t is del
egates that count, and 1 am securing
them rapidly"
The story that the Ninth ward may
orally candidate had Withdrawn was
started by a politician who called to
see Mayor Doran at his office Saturday
afternoon.
AT the time the gentleman called
Mayor Doran was closeted with Rev.
Sam Smith. of the Peoples church.
The conference between the mayor and
the reverend gentleman lasted over an
hour.
OF course there was nothing strange
about Rev. Mr.. Smith calling on the
mayor, but Sunday afternoon the gen
tleman who had to wait for the in
terview between the pastor of the Peo-
pies church and Mayor Doran to end
noticed Rev. Mr. Smith and Judge
Howard at the residence of Mr.. Field
hauser.
This was enough to satisfy the poll
tician that there was some scheme on
foot, and he spoke of the meeting of
the trio at Mr.. Feldhausers residence,
and connected the same with the inter
view had between Rev. Sam Smith
and Mayor Doran Saturday afternoon.
The report spread rapidly, and was
added to as it was retold, finally result
ing in the statement that Mr.. Field
hauser had withdrawn In favor Of Mr..
Doran.
This is the way w. W. Erwin has Of
getting out of the heroic Endorsement
he gave F. B. Doran two years ago in
a letter to the public a day or so be-
fore election:
yes, 1 said at the time Mr.. Doran
was making his race for mayor I will
give you my life if Doran does not give
you an honest administration The
only thing I can do now Is to offer my
life and services to the people, and this
I shall probably do if the Democratic
convention tenders me the nomination
for mayor"
The regular weekly meeting Of the
Sixth Ward Democratic club will be
held at the club rooms, on South Wa
basha street, tonight. A very large
attendance is expected, not only from
the members of the club, but other
Democrats. Addresses will be delivered
during the evening by T. r. Kane, F.
L. McGhee and Samuel Whaley. The
L.. fo1 1oo
ing one, and several matters of i'm
portance looking to united Democracy
will be considered during the evening.
A prominent Democrat of the Sixth
ward said that the Sixth has three
good men who would be hard to beat
during the coming campaign. The men,
he said, were Anthony Yoerg, for comp
troller; John G Wardell, of the Spa
Bottling company, for assemblyman,
and Frank Baer, for alderman. Any
ticket with their names on, he said,
would sweep the Sixth ward for De-
mocracy, regardless of who were the
nominees on the other tickets. The
ticket, as named above, has as yet re-
ceived no official Endorsement from the
Democrats of the Sixth, but it is un-
derstood that it is the ticket of the
Sixth Ward Democratic club.
About 200 Democrats, including Cart
Burger and Aid. Stutzman, attended
the meeting of the Second Ward Demo-
cratic club at Kalkanhauser's hall last
evening.
After a number of new members had
signed the constitution, P NJ Quist
was called upon for a speech. Mr..
Qvist took occasion to score the So
called business administration of the
Republicans, but believed the man
would be named by the Democrats to
put the city back in it's proper condi-
ton.
He was followed by F. L. McGhee,
who laid the blame for the charges of
rupture in the ranks of the party at
the doors of the Democrats themselves.

not enough work.

said, land elect your own delegates to
