MONDAY EVENING,

Of them had any intention OF coming out:
/ The democrats will usually supply the
| excitement. Michael Gerber is said to-
| be giving Alderman Foell his first real
! taste Of q political campaign.
! Across Central avenue conditions are
! reversed. The second ward democrats
have two candidates, who will never be
heard of, while the republicans are warm
| ing considerably over the race between
Alderman E. c. Chatfeld. J. B. Eustis and
| George w. Wagner. The appearance of
| Acting Mayor Jones in behalf of Alderman
| Chatfeld is believed to have strengthened
him very materially, but friends Of the
other two are insistent that they will
show tomorrow that they are still in the
game. az -. ~. ,... - !
AS usual, the third ward can be counted
| on to furnish a good scrap. Among the
republicans the withdrawal of Hugh VIII
son has helped DR.. w. F. Nye, but Swan
ty Swanson is digging as hard as he ever
| did In the we'll business and M. w.
Shades is satisfied that his long service
| in behalf of the party will be rewarded
1t is taken for granted that whoever wins
will have to buck" Joseph L. kichl1, but
the friends of Anthony T. Grotte and Fred
w. Pratt are moving things rather lively
and are quite sure that the whole demo-
cratic vote is not all for Joe
In the fourth ward Alderman A. E. Mer-
ril is opposed by Charles P. Lowell and'
according repOTlS, IL Is q AAe"Ao - AAoS N'
| close fight.
| Acting Mayor D. P. Jones is opposed by
one republican and one democrat as alder
man Of the fifth, but his friends DO not
consider that he will be called upon to
spend any money or do any work elmer
for the nomination or the election.
According to the sixth ward propnets'
Alderman Lars M. Rand will have tight
against John F. Dahl. If he defeats Peter
Gunderson tomorrow. There are tnose
who say that the willy Lars Induced MIR.
C;underson to enter the field IN order 10
plcate the anti-Rand democrats out IL
is not believed that Rand would be guilty
of such practices. Mr. Dahl, who seeks
the republican nomination. has rival IN
1tenry r. Kersten. Both have been resi-
dents OF the ward since childhood, ana
are we'll known there.
Alderman J. Frank Main comedies that
nc ha., haG very hard tussel with Au-
gust c.: Vaughn. who is opposing the 1or-
mei's denomination from the seventh war,
,r:t says that he has promises enough
to insure his election. AS the Ward Is
re.iably republican, very little, interest Is
taken IN the two candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination.. c. Huseby and
Louis Engwal.
Four eighth ward republicans are con-
testing or Alderman McHugh's seat in the
council, the quartet being E. w. Clark.
Erick Westling, John H. Rabb and c. s.
Ingham. Friends of Mr.. Clark say that ne
:, will have as many votes as the ather three
together. but the trio naturally dispute:
such assertions. There is no evidence
, any democrat In the race.
Ninth ward republicans will make des-
!, perate effort to put republican In the
| council in place of Peter Mccoy. This
ward which Is supposed to be safely re-
. publican, is represented in the council by
two democrats. and the whole party loooks
teal 10 q
: lieved that either Elmer w. Gray of Jo-
seph F. Conroy can take care Of Alderman
r Mccoy, who has no opposition for the
nomina ton.
< One OF the very best of the aldermanie
fights is that in the tenth between DAME
, F. Getchell and Adolph W. Benson. Eacf
processes to be absolutely sure OF the
: place James Fl. Duryea has John A
Rickett as competitor for the democratic
= nomina ton.
Another sharp contest IS that in the
y eleventh ward, where Alderman Claus c.
. Peterson is being opposed by Swan Mel.
= son. Jack Horton is conducting still
hunt. G. H. Westphal is the only seeker
. for democratic honors.
There is no fight in the twelfth ward or
either side. 1t is simply chaos and con-
fusion. With eight republicans and five
democrats scrambling for votes, no one
=, pretends to say how the "cane rush" Will
. end. ....
In the thirteenth ward John H. Var
y Nest is crowding Alderman 0. P. Suther-
- land hard. There is no democratic candi.
+ date.
y Board Candidates.
Candidates for board positions spend NJ
money and do not stir matters up as d.
= candidates for positions paying salarie:
n and hence there is very little talk on the
many candidates. There are three place:
Y to be filled on the school board, and the
= retiring members John A. Schlener, VIII
. lam K. Riks and J. F. Force are candi
n dates for denomination by the republican
e party. Among other we'll known as
/, pirants are A. H. Bright, Charles J. Bint
