intervening time. already the straws are
flying about, but o ne thing can be put
down a. certain. Mayor Reynolds will

the Democrats just as was the nase last
year. There will be o contest between
the two old parties for the control Of the
board of aldermen and among the several
names mentioned In ccnnsction with
seats In the council are Daniel y. Cobb.
H., and Sherman @. willard D.. In
ward 1. Down In ward Q. Fred Brooks
looms up in Democratic ranks. and II
alderman Geo. I. Spear concludes not
to run, William Il. Allen 10 likely 10 be
the man.

be the Democratic candidsts In ward 3.
while william n. Spear and Niiss Nelson
are talked Of for the Republican side.
