The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-15


II looks as though Albert e. Newton
would have a fight to land renom-
ination for the Common Counch IN
Ward eight Henry r. Dean, wire
goods manufacturer at $50 Austin
street is being mentioned as a prob
able candidate and 1t is not unlikely
that he will go after the nomination.
In Ward six 1t is understood that
Edwin s. Clark, who was strong IN
the running for Common Council hon
ors last year will again enter the field
for the vacancy caused by the candt-
dacy of George M. Wright for the up
per board There will undoubtedly be
other candidates In sufficient numbers
| to assure the usual interesting caucus
struggle.
In Ward one, George L. Clark will
be a candidate for reelection. The
fact that Capt James P. Crosby has
moved out of the ward since his cleo
| ton to the council will leave place
vacant for some political Rspirant. IL
1 Ward two Olaf G. Hedlund will prob
ably be candidate for reelection. A
big effort is being made to have John
| p. Holmgren of the Republican City
Committee enter the field against him,
but Mr.. Holmgren has made no defi-
mite announcement as yet.
Ward five will undoubtedly return
Councilman William J. Bragg for a
second term. Who his running mate
will be has not been definitely decided
although the friends of John w. Nav
bey are Urging his candidacy.
Ward seven presents another inter-
esting situation. 1t is believed that
Clarence D. Mixter would like sec
ond term. Frank L. Stetson, whose
term as representative of the ward
expires this year, has moved out Of
the ward and a promising field Of can
didates Is assured. Former Councilman
Wesley Merritt, who was defeated for
a second term, will undoubtedly be
presented for consideration of the
voters.
There is considerable aldermanic talk
among the Democrats. Alderman Ed
ward j. Mcmahon will be a candidate
for reelection and considerable infiu-
ence is being brought to bear on Alder
man Wilhelm G. Lichtenfels to have
him stand as candidate for another
term. John H Meagher who made such
a strong bid for place last year will
again in the field.
The report that Edward d. Cunning
ham might stand as q candidate for
alderman in the Ward three caucus has
developed a little anti-Cunningham
sentiment In the Lake View end of the
ward. 1t was stated yesterday that
Edward P. Crerie might be a candidate
for endorsement of the voters for al
derman.
Notice was given yesterday of
meeting of men opposed to the candt-
dacy of Mr.. Cunningham. In the hose
house at Lake View, Thursday night.
The outcome of the meeting will be
awaited with some interest by the
politicians. Mr.. Cunningham is ex-
pected to make some definite statement
within a day or so as to whether he
will allow the use of his name. His
friends consider the matter as good as
settled at present
The registrars of voters did a good
business yesterday in spite OF the
weather which was anything but con-
ducive to good results. The total num-
Der of names added to the list was IS
and Of this number It was estimated
that more than two-thirds were Re-
publicans. Rep. Peter F. Sullivan was
the only representative of the Demo-
crazy who seemed to be busy Today
and tomorrow are the last days for
registration before the state election.
The registrars will be in session to-
day from 9 a. m. until D. m. and
from to 8 p. m. Tomorrow there win
be a continuous session from 8 o'clock
in the morning until 10 at night
At a meeting Of the Republican City
Committee last night 1t was voted to
hold caucuses for the city election
Tuesday. Nov. 10. The hour for open
ing the caucuses will be decided by
the chairman and secretary and in
serted in the call which will be issued
within a few days. 1t was voted to
have a special meeting at the call Of
the chair some time previous to the
caucuses to arrange other details for
getting out a full Republican vote.
