The age-herald., 1901-04-07

day before election, 1t seems that Joseph will win, and, in fact. some of the Clis- by supporters do not deny this. There has been no betting of consequence on the contest, though odds on Joseph at two to one are freely offered. The total registration Is 276s. which would indicate a vote of about 2400 On this basis, a majority for Joseph of from $50 to 4bO is predicted.
 There are many prominent men who supported Captain Clisby two years ago that now say they desire to give the pres ent Mayor a second term. In this hs1 might be mentioned Maj. R. E. Steiner, who was Clisbys campaign manager two years ago; Hon. Temple Seibels, Alder man Hauser, A. H. Arlington. George Stewart, c. D. Faber, Al Galatas, John Randolph. J. H. Harrison and others who were very active for Mayor Clisby Another strong support for Joseph comes from Chief of Police A Gerald and Cap tain Martin. These officers were silent in the last campaign, but are using their influence this year for Mayor Joseph. In fact the entire city force seem to be work ing in harmony for him. As matter of course, the present officials, in most in- stances would retain their positions should Joseph again win.
 There is much speculation as to the Clisby slate, and it Is discussed on the streets as follows: Mayor, J. H. Clisby; chief of police, Charles T. Pollard; cap tain of police, H. M. Amerine superin- tendent water works, W. D. Westcott; engineer, J. W. Percons; superintendent streets, s. T. Westcott sanitary inspec- tor, w. K. Jones' These are merely street rumors, as MT. Clisby has made no public utterance indicating who he would appoint to fill these positions.
 Seven Aldermanic Candidates.
 There are seven candidates offering for the three positions of aldermen These candidates are Messrs. B. l.. Holt, Daniel Fleming, J. 1. May, Pat McGau- ley, w. E. Haygood, D. s. Hansman and Herman Ross. There seems no doubt as to the election of Messrs. Holt and Flem- ing, both of whom are at present mem bers of the council, MT. Fleming being the president of the board. They repre- sent the progressive business interests Of the city, both being men of handsome fortunes, whom the voters seem willing to trust in public affairs. It may be said of these gentlemen, that they have not personally solicited the support of any voter.
 For the third position there is con- test MT. May is the present member, winning by large vote two years ago, and his friends are enthusiastically at work to give him a similar vote this year. Jim" May is very popular with the boys who do the voting. MT. Hauseman Is a factor in the race, however.
 Each ward will elect two councilmen, and in the first there are three candidates -Goston Gunter. Lee H. Well and P. T. Mulcahy. The race Is a very uncertain one.
 In the second ward there are also three canddates-Messrs W. M. Hudson, c. l.. Ruth and Sam B. Johnson MT. Hudson appears to be a certainty, with a contest between the other two.
 The Third ward has three candidates Ray Rushton, John c. Cheney and Berto H. Johnson. Messrs. Cheney and Rush. ton seem to have an easy race.
 The Fourth ward presents four candi- dates-C. P. Anderson, Lorenzo Davis c. P. Mcintyre and Rev. W. D. Gay. Expe- rienced politicians say that Davis will lead the ticket with Anderson a good second. Both men are very popular in city affairs.
 In the Fifth ward the contest Is between J. H. Hardy B. P. Morrisette, Paul Roe der and Edward Haardt.
 In the Sixth ward the candidates are John P. Kohn, James Toole, jr., and Jesse Wadsworth, with odds on the first two named.
 The polls will open at 8 o'clock Monday morning and close at p. m.
