tioned-Other News Notes.

Although the spring election is still

Gus ward offices are beginning to seek
support and endorsement to further
their ambitions. William Jansen has

on Gus Rehner and Albert Heller to
become his running -mates.
In the Eleventh ward, two common
councilmen and an alderman will be
elected. The present alderman, a Demo-
crat. will have opposition in his own
party, as eX-County Commissioner John
Dennuth will seek the nomination. Ben
+. Moore is being induced to accept
the Republican nomination, and a petit
ton was circulated yesterday tending
to make him the party's unanimous
choice. Mr. Moore was elected to the
same office about twenty years ago, to
succeed his father, but as he was only
2l years old, he refused to serve. He
is printer by trade and is in the busi-
ness on Cedar avenue, as a member of
the firm of KunZ & Moore. Mr.. Moore
is also identified with the recently
organized South Side Republican club.
