Campaign issues are being made
! every day. The present ADMINISTRATION
seems to have put it's foot in it pretty
! bad. Until two weeks ago the anti
saloon element were strongly opposed
to Mayor Hugo and his policy. and
| threatened to nominate and place in
the field an Independent ticket headed
by Watson 8. Moore. whose position
towards the saloons is we'll known, anl
can be relied upon Now the saloons
are closed according to law, and while
the saloon men previously felt kindly
towards Mayor Hugo, they are now
bitterly opposed to him. So It is any,
| thing but smooth sailing for the pre-
sent Administration. It has even been
cruelty limited that Mayor Hugo will
not be candidate for reelection OH
account Of recent events.
Capt. Stevens is an avowed candidate
Tor the nomination, and 80 is ex-Mayor
Lewis. Before the evening of the pri-
maries it is expected that there will be
| several more. Whether new candidates
VIII make new Issues or not is hard To
fortell
There will be no less than three can
didates for the Democratic nomination.

candidate or not. His candidacy is said
to be only newspaper talk, for none

the former mayor az to his mayorality
ambitions. They claim that If Mr..
Truelsen was an avowed candidate he
would be working now, and would have

DR.. Murray is still hustling, but does
not seem to be gathering new strength.
Frank Crassweller is the favorita

ers. In espousing his candidacy they
proudly refer to his record in the CITY
council. He has been an honest and
consistent official, and is made of the
KIND OF material that is wanted in the
mayors Office. When the time for vot-

The aldermanic bees are buszlnR as
Well. In the first Alderman Rother-
mails term expires. 1t Is not known
whether he will run again or not. but
there is usually a good supply of tim
ber there, 80 there is no danger Of a
scarcity Of candidates.
In the second ward Mr.. KrumseiR is
the retiring alderman. II he wants to
run again he can have the nomination
and the election. 1t is folly for anyone
to run against him.
Alderman Cromwell will have the
f1eht Of his life in the third ward. He
will be gone after with hammer and
tongs, and although it is too early to
say who his opponent will be, a good
man will undoubtedly be put up against
him. He will have to be a good man.
too, for the acting mayor is a good
fighter and has lots Of friends.
Victor Johnson will be a candidate in
the fifth, and the. Democrates are en-
deavoring to induce former Alderman
Crowley to run again. John Flood is
also spoken of, while there are others
who would like to see Joe Gibson make
the run. There will be hot time in
the fifth this year, and don't you for
get II.
In. the sixth Erick Olson has his
fences built. He thinks that another
term will not do him any harm. J. J..
Callihan is being spoken of for the
Democratic nomination, while Ed Kriz
will be the Socialist candidate. Ed ex-
poets to pile up a few more votes this
year than he had last, and he feels that
with the large number of converts be-
ing made there that he will keep the
workers pretty anxious.
Alderman Haven is assured Of the
Republican nomination in the seventh
ward. The Democrats are talking of
DR.. Davis again, while some Of the
workers there say that they will pre-
| sent man in the eleventh hour that
will sweep everything before him. They
will not give out his name, just now,
but say that he is whirlwind.
Alderman Cochrane will find himself
arrayed against David Sang in the
eighth ward. The fight two years ago
was 30 close that another go would
satisfy the friends Of both as to the
real strength of the two men,
The anti-saloon league will also be in
line. Their candidate for mayor will
either be Watson s. Moore or ex-
Governor Miller. 1t is said that they
will have candidates in every ward for
aldermen. In the sixth they have de-
cided on Gus Horen, shoemaker. He
is president Of the Scandinavian Temp
erance union.
