For ward aldermen, the First Will pre-
sent the name of William Johnson, VINO
has been prominent for years in the Ward
and city politics. For the Second Ward
p. D. Scannel may be given the nomina-
would harmonize things, but on the
ground that he would be able to beat
Benny" Knauft who is to be the Re
publican nominee. In the Third ward
Henry s. Sternberg, who, two years ago
came within twenty-three votes OF ue-
feating Aid. Kenny, will be given the
nomination. Sternberg was defeated two
years ago owing to the split in the party,
but this time will have clear sailing. In
the Fourth ward there are three promi-
nent candidates.. 3. Covington, John
Jackson, former chief of the fire DEPART
ment, and o. J. Cook, young attorney.
In the Fifth ward Otto Rohland, Charles
L.auer, Samuel Agnew, w. II. Ulmer and
w. A. Keefe are contesting for the nom
ination. In the Sixth ward M. j. Mo-
Rarity and Frank w. Baer are the two
prominent candidates. In the Seventh
ward no particular candidate has been
mentioned and, although the ward Is
overwhelmingly Republican, some good
Democrat will be named by the conven-
ton. In the Eighth ward Matt BantZ, the
present adreman, Is a candidate for re-
nomination, with the chances largely in
his favor The names of Charles r.
Jessrang and w. T. Hofer are mentioned
as possibilities In the Ninth ward E.
L. Murphy, the present alderman. expects
to- have no opposition. L. j. Dobner has
no opposition for aldermanic honors in
the Tenth ward.
The. Republican mayoralty race looks
like Schiffmann In jog. Kiefer is eX-
pected to have a fair following, but, as
the work for him is ell being done on the
quiet, not much Of a line is obtainable as
to the number of delegates he will have.
The Schiffmann men claim that he will
have sixty votes in all, and that some OF
these will go to the Fourth ward man
on the second ballot, if there is any sec
ond ballot. Oar Reese says Schiffmann
will be nominated on the first ballot be-
fore the Ninth ward is reached. Reeves
and Smith are making as good showing
as possible under the circumstances, but
the workers Of the party are in the
Schiffman camp, and both Reeves and
Smith find it hard work to get up much
enthusiasm.
The Kiefer strength is confined almost
entirely to the parties holding positions
under thte city government, the men that
they can control and a number who have
been promised positions IN case the pres
ent mayor Is renominated.
A city official who has been in politics
for several years, in discussing the situa-
ton last evening, said:
For years Andrew r. Kiefer has been
a weight on the Republican party. He
has terrorized the politicians and forced
himself on the party by the nationality
threat. The present campaign will give
the rank and file of the party, as we'll as
the politicians, dlance to put him away
for all future time, as far as his political
aspirations are concerned, and this more
than anything else will cause his defeat
in the convention. There Is a possibility
for the friends of the candidates men
toned going to anyone but Kiefer when
it is seen they cannot be nominated, but
there will be combination with Kiefer as
the Keystone
