The campaign in the Fifth Ward is one
or extraordinary interest: This ward is
referred to as the kid glove" ward, the
aristocratic ward, among politicians, and
any other ward in the city. Mr. Wood
ward has evidently presumed on this con-
dition, and has induced himself to be-
H..
condition was emphasized strongly last
night at the Populist convention. There
was not single delegate from the Fifth
Ward on the floor, and the chairman an
nounced that there were evidently no
Populists in that high-toned district.
There can be no doubt, however, that
the next Councilman from the Fifth Ward
will be FELTON, Taylor who has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans, the Municipal
League and the Independents.
The Fifth Ward is expecting much sub
stantial aid from the city at large for
the carrying out of certain improvements
around Lake Merritt, and 1t certainly can
not dare to offer such an affront to the
remaining six wards as to elect Coun-
Gilman who behaved as Woodward did
last spring. Whatever Woodward's faults
may be, his judgment is certainly not of
the kind that makes faithful Councilmen.
The Independent Republicans are plan
ming for a very busy campaign. They will
hold meetings in every ward as we'll as in
the annexed district, and eX-Mayor Da-
vie has declared his intention of being as
aggressive as he was four years ago.
Tomorrow evening the Republican City
Central Committee will meet to consider
the work of the campaign, which will
probably be started by big mass meet
Ing some time next week in the heart of
the city.
The executive committee of the Munich
pal League met tonight and indorsed
George r. Stetson, the Republican nomi-
nee for Councilman at large, to fill the
vacancy created on the league ticket by
the resignation of c. A. Chichester.
