Democrats Suggested
For Alderman Bar
rett's Seat.
SIX MEN WILL Be NAMED.
Activity Among Republic
cans for Entrance Into
the Council.

The democratic caucuses are to be
held Thursday night of this week, and
candidates for nomination on the al
dermanic ticket are busy buttonhoing
delegates to the municipal convention
that are to be voted for at that time
The number of candidates is unusually
large this year, and it is certain that
there will be a lively fight for repre-
sentation. AS in past years, it is like
ly that the democrats, like the repub-
leans, will put six candidates on the
ticket, but there is double this num-
Der of names heard when the politi-
clans get to talking at democratic
headquarters.
DR.. T. ]. Barrett, who has been a
member of the board of aldermen for
two years, is not to be a candidate for
reelection this year, and there is a
scramble for his place. Philip j.
O'Connell and James F. Carberry are
to seek denomination, and it is con-
ceded that they viii be reelected I'M
der the minority representation law.
Had Dr. Barrett, whose record while
a member of the board was a brilliant
one, consented to run again, it is GER
tain that he would be renominated and
elected.
His retirement makes an opening
through which dozen candidates wish
to enter the board of aldermen, but
even the party prophets do not venture
at this time to pick the winner. In
addition to Messrs. O'Conne1 and Car
berry, four others will be placed in
nomination, but of these but one can
hope for election.
That William G. Liehtenfels should
be that one, the German democrats say
is no more than right. For years they
have consistently supported the ticket
without recognition, and they think it
only fair that their fidelity should be
rewarded by the election of Mr.. Lieh-
tenfels to the board of aldermen. That
Mr. Lichtenfels, as for several years
past, WI. be one of the six on the tick
| et may be put down for fact, but he
has been invariably defeated at the
polls.
1t was announced last night that Mi
| chael L. Russell might run as an indie
| pendent candidate for the board of al
dermen. This would further complicate
the situation and put the result in
doubt, even if it did not endanger to
some extent the regular ticket that the
democrats will put up. Mr. Russell has
had experience as a member of the
common council, and has the prestige
| of having defeated James H. Mellen
Twice Iof the legislature. Some of Mr..
Russell's friends believe that he should
be regularly nominated by the demo-

worcester academy thoroughly out
played Yale freshmen on the academy
oval yesterday, winning by a score of
II to 81 10 the 200 spectators the game
seemed water polo, yet the academy
team showed foot ball ability which
has never been credited to it.
Ten minutes before the game begun,
the most rabid enthusiast would have
been satisfied to have the game de-
clared off. Such decision would have
appeared one denoting discretion, but
the young foot ball giants were eager,
and in the 2 regulars and half dozen
or more subs who prepared for the
contest in the academy gymnasium,
there was not faint heart. Before
the game had been in progress five
minutes these same clean limbed,
rugged athletes, had been converted
into exl'onents Of the art of wallowing
in puddles.

cause or its features suggestive of a

Capt. Norris was the idol of his fell
low players. When a gain was needed,
and the academy" eleven played as
though It always was, the
BRoAD-sHoULDERED FULLBACK
was given the ball, and an advance re-
suited. J. Davis, Taylor Kruse, Russ
and the big guard, Harrison were in
element he WoJa
struggling one. The academy guards
made holes, and the ease displayed in
doing it encouraged the backs, and it
was seldom that an academy runner
was doWned before making a substan-
tial gain.
]. Davis made both touchdowns for
the academy, and once in the second
half Capt. Norris ploughed through
Inc Yale freshteS over the goal line,
but the ball slipped from his arm, and
wallace fell on it. Yale had free kick
from the 15-yard line but the academy
boys worked the ball up the field again,
until j. Davis carried it over for the
second touchdown.
Barnwell kicked off for Yale to San
derson. who waded through the slime
for eight yards before johnson brought
him down. Capt Norris could make no
gain at center, and the Yale subs yelled
like Indians when the academy captain
fumbled on a signal to punt Wallace

scrimmages which followed to give

Frank L. Stetson is out to win the
caucus nomination and eventually the
election to the common council from
ward 7. Mr.. Stetson says that a num-
Der of prominent republicans in the
ward have repeatedly asked him to
stand for the office, and in making his
decision he has done so with the deter

will leave no stone unturned, and in
the event of his election will act ac-

for the welfare of the city and good

Mr.. Stetson came to Worcester about

with matters pertaining to the city

number of years in the city council Of
Medford, where he formerly lived.
Since coming to Worcester Mr.. Stet-

lives and has melted work for many
improvements.

expires this year, is a candidate for

Mr.. Merritt says the attacks made

trouble dates back to the Guild Bates
