The municipal fight promises to be a scoreher.
 It is already afame and the boys are throwing aboard plenty of fuel so as to make brisk fire under the boilers when the campaign advances. Already things are getting in shape for the fight.
 The manipulators of affairs are casting about for candidates and the boys down the line are discussing the chances of different individuals who are mentioned for the various places
 At the ensuing city election May or, City Treasurer, Police Judge and four Aldermen, one each from the First, Second, Third and Fourth wards, are to be elected
 The Mayors Race.
 It is well understood now that the opposing candidates in the fight for Mayor will be Hon. D. C. Bell, Gen. H. King White, Judge j. w Owen and Mr Mo Hanf. None of these gentle men have officially announced them selves as candidates for the office, but it is generally understood that they will make the ticket Mr Bell has not decided as to whether or not he will be candidate for the office, but his friends are urging him to enter the race. Gen. White is being urged by his friends to make the race, and he informed Graphic reporter this morning that he may do so. There is little doubt but what Judge J. w. Owen will be on the ticket His fol- lowers are insisting that he contest for the honor and he has partially de- cided to again cast his net into the local political sea. MT. Mo.

 The AIdermen's Race.
 In the First ward an Alderman is to be elected. Mr. J. E. Boyce. the present incumbent from that warC when asked by a Graphic man if he would aspire to reelection, replied that he did not think he would. It is recognized that Mr Boyce is one o1 the strongest characters in the City 1 Council. He is perhaps better posted on the different departments of the city affairs than any other man con nected with the city government and it is very likely that he will be forced into the seat for another two years by his constituents
 In the Second, Third and Fourth | wards Councilmen are to be elected also.
 Alderman Gabe Meyer, the present incumbent of the Second ward, stated i to a Graphic reporter that he will ] probably make the race, but should he have an opponent, may decide not to run at all.
 In the Third ward there will prob ably be several candidates for Alder | man to succeed Judge J. w. Owen who intends to make the race for Mayor
 Alderman Theo Wollerman, of the i Fourth ward, will in all probability succeed himself from that district, as no others have as yet announced themselves, and, then again, Alder man Wollerman can make the race on | his past record.
 Mayor Alexander Out of It. In conversation with Graphic rep resentative Friday morning, Mayor w. B. Alexander stated that he would not 1 be a candidate for collection to his
