DoWd'S Fight

Alexander H. Bullock will be can
didate for the school committee nom
nation in Ward eight at the Novem-
Der caucuses. Mrs. Winslow S. Lin
coin, whose term expires this year has
announced that she viii not be can
didate for recollection, and 1t was after
this fact was made known that Mr..
Bullock consented to allow the use OF
his name.
Mr.. Bullock has an office In the state
Mutual building, and is one OF the best
known young lawyers in the city. he
has served an apprenticeship Of sever
al years In the Republican city COM
mittee, serving with credit as treasu-
rer of that body. He was for two
years president OF the Republican club
of worcester and has taken o proml-
nent part in work of the committee
and club.
Mr.. Bullock was born in Worcester,
attended the schools of this city, and
is thoroughly acquainted with the
needs of the district he desires to rep
resent.
Little has been said of school COM
mittee probabilities this year. but
there are a number who have sounded
the sentiment in their respective WARDS
and are preparing for the prelimina-
ries. In Ward one DR.. Arthur K. Yoo-
suf would like to be a candidate 70
succeed Rev. Austin s. Carver, and
there are several others with the same
aspiration. =,
In Ward two Herbert NJ. Wilson will
be a candidate for reelection.
Albert L, Smith will probably desire
reelection In Ward Ave. Rev. r. w
4 nj Church MAJ
been mentioned for the place. The Dem
ocrats have not been heard from den,
nitely as yet, although the name Oh
Henry w. Cronin has been discussed.
1t is understood that DIR. c.. F. Hodge
will not be a candidate for reelection
from Ward six Henry L. Parker, Jr.'
has been prominently mentioned Tor
the place, and there is possiolnty
that Marvin NJ. Taylor, who has asplred
for the position in former years 1, nia J,
be a candidate. DR.. M. Bonner Finn
will be candidate for reelection IN
Ward seven.
DR.. Charles r. McDermott is not
candidate for the Democratic nomlna-
ton for school committee in WARD
four. One of the evening papers named
him as a candidate last night but Dr.
McDermott told a reporter for The
SPY ne Is not III tIlS llcAu oiAN bS "-A-NN
The Spy to contradict the story.
There will be fun enough at the Dem
ocratic caucus without DR.. McDermott
in the contest. DR.. John T. McGill-
cuddy, the present representative from
the ward is a candidate for reelection
and opposed to him is DR.. M. j.
OReilly. The contest for the Common
Council nomination is three cornered IN
the ward between Councilman Joseph
-, ie ntTf for a return
to his seat and Martin j. Leonard and
James Donagher.
In Ward three DR.. Francis A. Under
wood is a candidate for reelection to
the school committee and up to the
present time ncSsiy has entered the
list against him. There will be two
vacancies in the Common Council from
Ward three by the expiration OF tne
terms of Councilmen John II. Connolly
and Emil Zaeder. Both are out for
return trip and in addition to them j.
i. Sexton will be candidate.
The Democrats of Ward flVe are look
ing around for available candidates for
the school committee and the Common
Council but they have not found the
right men. A great deal depends on
the result of the representative contest
between Thomas e. Dowd ana Jonn ";
Hagberg in this ward. II Mr.. Dowd
is successful, there will be no trouble
in getting candidates but If he is beaten
there are few men in the ward who
want to hustle for the place as they
will have to hustle to win.
Charles E. Scott of Ward two and
John Cook of Ward one are the first
to take out Democratic
nomination papers for the caucuses.
They are candidates for the Common
Council but they will not get votes
enough at the election in December to
hurt them
