year following as its candidate for sen- ator from this district. But here again there would be trouble and he might be defeated by party split. The mistaken policy and split in his own party which resulted in the defeat for senator of the capable, popular, happy, all-around- good-fellow, Attorney Harold Durant- even if forgotten and forgiven by Harry himself has been neither forgotten nor forgiven by the friends who stood by him-and there must come logically renomination of Durant for senator if party unity is to be secured. Such be- ing the case, it is not at all probable that the managers of the Republican party will consider it wise to jeopardize MT. Lilley as senator so long as MT. Durant's friends are not placated. Hence the present certainty of Lilley for mayor. Here he would be an exceedingly strong candidate, and with his business record behind him for years in this city, he would, if elected, look after things and expenses in business like and not a political way. It is nonsense to say that he would be weak at the polls because of any decentralization antagonism. Republicans usually vote soidly for a party candidate, and they would do so for MT. Lilley. If any change of votes will be made, it would be in his favor from the added support of the many Democrats who favor consolidation. Any Democratic candidate for mayor will, all things considered, have his hands full on election day to defeat George L. Lilley.
 On the Democratic side there will be, in all probability but two candidates for mayorality honors-the present incum- bent and the now president of the board of education, Dr. Hayes. Mayor Kilduf has an advantage in the fact that he is now in possession of the office and that counts for something. But he is at a corresponding disadvantage, in that he has to father, all the mistakes of his ad- ministration, whether personally re- sponsible for them or not This is the case with every official who becomes candidate to succeed himself. But Mayor Kilduf has many friends, is a skilful politician, knows the ropes well, and is first class fighter at the polls. Dr. Hayes, too, is politically a great worker. He knows the ins and outs as well as any one. He is persistent, indefatigable, and true to his friends, of whom he shas a host The primaries and caucuses he can look after in all their details, when he sets about it, with amazing industry and skill. When he goes for official candidacy he delegates no one to do the work for him. He does it himself and puts into it every fibre and muscle of his body and every atom of gray matter that is his. He does so He never surrenders till every vote is counted. His methods and those of Mayor Kilduf in politics differ as do the men themselves in their temperaments. Mayor Kilduf is inclined to be more quiet, secretive and crafty. Dr. Hayes is open, positive, aggressive and out spoken. It is hard to predict which of them will carry off the prize. But either of them. would make an interest ing campaign with MT. Lilley as an op- ponent.
