CANDIDATES

The names of the Democratic candi-
| dates who will he voted for OH May Is
must be filed with the Democratic com

! already in although there may be ~
| cral additions this evening. There Is
! little interest being taken in the nomina-
| ton except for the Office of mayor.
In several wards there are no CON
tests. So far no names have been men

The hardest kind of fight is being
made for the nomination Of mayor.
Mayor Fahey is taking an active part
in the campaign. He is supporting Dr.
Spruance and the friends of the other
candidates are making it warm for the
mayor. They claim that he is trying to
swing every department in the city into
line for his candidate. BY reason of the
vigorous campaign conducted by the
mayor and his friends inroads are being
made into the ranks of Mr. Whiteman.
The frineds of Mr.. Hughes say that as
a result of the fight between the mayor
and the ''blue stocking crowd Hughes
will get the nomination. He is depend
ing on the working people for his
strength. There is no question but that
he is very popular among the laboring
classes. 1t is said that at least one
hundred persons have been promised jobs
by the Fahey machine Where they are
to come from is one thing that the op-
pOnents of the mayor are trying to find
out.
Most of them expect to work under the
Street and Sewer Commission. Although
anything that body would do would not
be a surprise. it is not thought for a
minute that it will attempt to make
berths for one hundred ward workers.
There is trouble in the ranks of the
Democratic League and several of the
Id and formerly most enthusiastic mem
hers do not visit the place as usual.
They say that the Single Takers have
secured control of the affairs of the lea
que and that Democrats who are not
believers in the doctrine of Henry George
need not apply.
1t was reported yesterday afternoon
that some of the friends of Dennis Il.
Leary who formerly represented the
Third ward in City Council, contem-
plated bringing him out for the Demo
cratic nomination for president of Coun-
ell. Mr.. Lcary stated last night that
this was evidently an old report re-
vived.
He had decided to be candidate in
case William 8. Alexander was not a
candidate again. He thought the presi-
dent was entitled to two terms, therefore
he Ueary) would not be candidate.
