The FIGHT IN THE NINTH.
Precinct Primaries Will Be
Decided Tonight By the
Ward Republicans.

Tonight's session of the Ward Assecia-
ton of the Ninth Ward, will doubtless
determine whether the anti-ring element
is to be victorious in its fight for pre-
cinct primaries. This is matter that has
caused more dissension and controversies
In that ward than any ohtre subject
Joint primaries were wholly responsible
for the turning down of the anti-ringsters
about a ear ago. At that Mr.. John r
Landrine who has always been looked up
to as the leader of the anti-ring forces,
was beaten in the fight for County Conn
mitteeman along with many more ow his
closest constituents Since then this ele-
ment has had no voice in he management
of the ward or county politics by the ma
chine. But this never phazed the anti
machine people, If their voices were not
heard in the supreme counyt councils
of the party their efforts in re-
tarding the successes of numerous
machine candidates. were unusually
effective on election days. In this
manner their power has been felt, and
so potent is it that machine Republican
cannot carry that ward without the sup
port of the anti-ring element and this
will not be forthcoming.
This element, which has always claimed
to represent those favoring clean and
fair politics, desires precinct primaries at
which the people can come out and choose
whom they please. This method naturally
takes power away from the ring and
gives the anti-ringsters chance to Sc
lect men who favor their policy of con-
ducting the county politics. This element
claims that five of the seven precincts
can be carried by them in the event Of
their success In winning precinct prima-
ries This would enable them to elect the
majority of County Committeeman, thus
giving them some voice in the manage
ment of the party. a privilege denied them
during the past year or SO.
What makes it appear certain that the
ward bosses who control the association
vii. grant the concession of precinct pri-
naries is the fact that Mr.. Flavel Mc1ee.
one of the powers in the machine. asked
for this method of conducting the pri-
maries, in a verbal resolution submitted
at the last meeting of the association.
This resolution was laid on the table
untouched at that meeting, so surprised
were the ward bosses, but it will be
taken up and acted upon tonight No
trouble is anticipated, the anti-ringsters
being very much in the minority. Thus
the machine followers will run the meet
ing TO suit themselves. President Louis
Stubenvon, the self-appointed leader OF
that ward, will preside.

pense of firing the salutes it be expended

DES MONIES, Dec 2O.-(Special Tele-
gram. lin the speakership fight it is quite
generally conceded now that Bowen has a
majority in both his congressional and
judicial districts over Eaton, the Cummins
candidate. The Gear pegple say they have
demonstrated that they are pretty sure of
ffty-four out of eighty-one votes in the
house, forty-one being necessary for choice
for speaker
Those most familiar with the situation are
now confidently asserting that the Gear
candidate has already won, but much in
terest prevails about the headquarters of
both the contestants, who are on the ground
and have many active friends about them.
DR.. Bowen's friends however, have the bet
ter organization, as his candidacy is sup
ported by Senator Allison, the Iowa delega-
tion in congress and a majority of the state
officers. The Bowen people say they have
already enough names enrolled in the sure
column to leave no doubt as to the result
They also assert that from the margin of
doubtful votes they will receive large aCces-
sions and their strength will in the outcome
be considerably greater than they have
heretofore claimed.
Eaton and his friends seem confident. They
say enough promises have been made to
give him a good fighting chance to win.
They do not issue any lists of names of
those who will vote for Eaton, nor do the
Bowen men, for that matter.
Bowen supporters are declaring that
promises made to Eaton were given when it
was not thought his election would in any
way affect the senatorial contest and that
those promises cannot be fairly counted
upon by Eaton now.

states that a missing Sioux City banker has
Been arrested in that city. 1t is supposed
that the man is e. =. Stone the defaulting
cashier Of the Sioux City Savings bank, who
skipped from Sioux City early in 1897, after
1t had been discovered he had forged nearly
100000 Of notes and had re-discounted them
in the bank Of which he was then cashier.
For the last three years a persistent search
has been made for this man, but so far he
has not been found unless this proves to be
him. Stone was always considered to be a
model man and had many wealthy and in
