Hon. Ernst Hummel Is being urged
as a good man for the Democracy tc
nominate for state Treasurer.
Henry Wullf il making u lively cam
paign in the Twenty seventh Ward I'd
secure the Republican nomination foi
Alderman, and the indications point IL
a red-hot primary election. Mr. Wulfi
has expressed himself as confident of
securing the nomination. and has been
looking In" upon the City Council Of
late, apparently learning the ropes" al
though there are a number of Alder.
men who say that Mr.. WulT knows
more about council methods In n min.
ute than they know In n week.
But Mr. wulffs confidence IL not
shared to large degree by many prom.
inent and aggressive Republicans of
the Twenty.sevcnth Ward. They say
with emphasis that Henry Wulr never
will wear the star Of Twenty-sevcnth
Ward Alderman. They are making In.
quirics regarding the Hoffman Club In
Monroe street and Of the relations
which, Il Is said. Mr.. Wulff bears to II.
II Is common Talk I'm the Twcnty.scv-
enth Ward that Henry Wulff has the
backing of the Union Traction Com.
pany. and Is to be put In the Council as
the Aldcrmnnic representative of that
corporation. lie was in the combina-
ton which gave away miles of streets
In his ward TO the street railway com.
panies.
AID. Butler has not said he IL can.
didatc for re.nominat ton. but IL Is
taken FOR granted lie will make the
race. Frank Lewis of Mayfair, VIII.
lam Wallis, ex.Ald. =. 8. Kimbcll and
ex-Ald- Hansen arc candidates for the
Republican Allcrmnnic nomination in
this ward.
In the Third Ward the organization
apparently Is with Thomas John Dixon.
son Of Arthur Dixon. II appears that
Mr.. Dixon has secured the friendship
of the Republicans I'm the black belt of
tho ward. AID. Fitch. II Is said. may
run ns I'm independent IL he does not
got the Republican nomination. The
selection of Aid. ConnOr of the Fifth
Ward by Sheriff Mngerstadt to speak
for the Third Congressional District ut
the Republican lovefcast In Springfield
IL regarded ny evidence that the Fifth
Ward Republican organization will re-.
nominate Aid. Connor.
Tho Republicans of the Ninth Ward
are searching for some strong Bohc.
milan to run for Alderman on the theory
that IL AID. Cnllerton does not capture
the Democratic nomination he will run
as an independent ana thus divide the
Democratic vote. The Tenth Ward re.
publican bosses will meet with Con-
grcssman LOrimcr before he returns
to Washington and pick out the man to
nominate for Alderman.
&eA
Unless Hull and Macdonald support
''Thomas John" for Alderman. 1t IL
claimed that Hon. Arthur Dixon pro.
poses to divide the Third Ward iefe-
CATION to tho State convention. This
state Of affairs IL very annoying tn Mr..
Hcnnessey, who resides In this neck of
tho woods.
~eA
Republicans OF the Twenty fourth
Ward will nominate Mr.. 4. J. Quinn
Tor Alderman. He viii be elected.
Twentieth Ward Republicans will
nominate Win. Elsfcllt for Alderman.
~
Thirty-fifth Ward Republicans will
nominate WIN. Stewart for Alderman.
Hon. Clayton II. Crafts Is urged to run
on the Democratic ticket.
Harry A. Stowcu, a real estate agent,
living ut BAG 42d street, Thirty-second
Ward, says he has clear field for the
Republican nomination for Supervisor
OF Hyde Park. Sam Ollie and william
4. Adams arc candidates, however, and
no slate has. been agreed upon.
John J. Magee, Collector Of the Town
of Hyde Park, is not likely to be can
dldate for denomination. Tho workers
OF tho Thirty-fourth Ward are opposed
to him and will select some one else to
represent the ward ON the Republican
town ticket. Masce aspires to succeed
Joseph Braden on the Drainage Board.
Charles frandrich, Supervisor OF Hyde
Park. II also likely to withdraw. Il. +.
Shepardis mentioned Us u candidate for
the place. The Republicans of the
Twenty-ninth Ward have decided to
postpone their Aldcrmanic convention
until after the Democrats have named n
candidate. II he is an acceptable candl.
date the Republicans may indorse him.
In the Thirty-flrst Ward Alderman
Badcnoch Is being supported by the
Noble faction. Justice Wilder may be
the candidate of the Vail forces. Aid.
Boyd Is backed for n denomination by
tho Hickory Club of the Thirtleth Ward.
His opponent Is Fred Hart, who Is said
to have the support OF Thomas Byrne,
Representative Butler ana the other or.
ganizatlon leaders OF the ward.
