Caucuses.

Their Return to the Council
is Sought by Party-Har-
rmony at all Meetings.


Fifth Ward. THOMAS A. FENDER
Seventh Ward. -. GEORGE WAGNER, JR.
These are the democratic candidates
for aldermen nominated at last nights
ward caucuses. Harmony and en-
thusiasm prevailed at every meeting,
and the unanimity with which the
proceedings were carried through
presages effective work by the party
at the polls next month; in fact those
who have looked carefully into the
situation see a clean sweep in sight
for democracy.
John Konosky, who was nomi-
mated in the Sixth ward, was not
present at the caucus, and today he
called at THE ARGUS office to say that
he was not a candidate for the Office,
and that he would be obliged to ask
the ward Committee to withdraw his
name from the ticket.
The men who will stand for the
party as aldermanic nominees are rep
resentative citizens, who will give a
creditable accounting of themselves in
the council. They all should be elected.
