REDIsTRICTING ORDINANCE.


Chairman Sourbier, of the Council COM
mittee on elections, says the ordinance re-
districting the city into wards will not be
reported by the committee Monday night
He says there is no hurry about this
that there is any desire to call the Repub-
lican primaries for the nomination of coun-
cilmen, as was announced without author
ity in yesterdays afternoon papers, dur
ing the next ten days. The ordinance may
be reported at the meeting of the Council
on Monday, May T.
ward councilmen have been announced.
George W. Squires, a grocer, of the First
ward, Is candidate to succeed Councilman
Negley who will not seek denomination.
Mr. Negley will be a candidate for prosecut-
ing attorney next year. ]. II. Billingsey
will ask denomination in the Second ward
John H. Grail in the Third and Fred W.
Expert In the Fourth. No opposing can
didates are announced in these wards
In the Fifth ward John A. Puryear, COL
cred, formerly a member of the Council
Will be candidate. 1t is probable that
Councilman Sourbier, who was elected two
years ago at large, will be asked to seek
nomination In this ward. The new Fifth
ward is composed of all that part of the
old Fifth east of White river and a part Of
the old Sixth. In the Sixth ward Council
and so will Councilman Wynne i'm the sew
enth. In the Eighth Joseph l.. Casper. who
was councilman from the old Seventh ward
several years ago, will seek the nominal
ton. w. j. Hogan will also be a candi-
date.
In the Ninth ward Charles Hurst. Louis
Bauer and Louis Kiefer are talked of and
John w. Marsee will probably be a candi-
date in the new Tenth. b. +. Wysong will
probably be candidate for denomination in
the Twelfth.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
1T is UNDERSTOOD THEY WILL BE
CALLED FOR MAY 4.
The Machine, IL Is Believed, Has Been
Seeking a state OF Preparedness
Redistricting Ordinance.

The Democratic primaries, according to
unofficial reports last night, are to be held
Saturday May 2. Chairman Tanning could
not be found last night to verify this re-
port, but some machine men who said this
was the date chosen asserted they knew
what they were talking about. This date
corresponds with the suggestion of Thomas
Taggart, before he left for Mexico that the
primaries would be about May l. Now that
Taggart has returned from Mexico the re-
port as to this date is readily believed.
1t is expected that Chairman Fannings
announcement of this date will precede the
formal call for the primaries 1t is believed
that any date chosen will be largely indica-
tive of the preparedness of the machine
crowd to carry through its programme of
forcing John w. Kern to be chairman.
The fact that Chairman Tanning has not
been hunting primary election officials is
judged by the Reach element to mean that
he is selecting the board from the faith
full without consulting them, and is de-
pending on making changes after the date
Is announced, IL any chosen turn out to be
wrong" 1t is generally understood In the
machine ranks that any worker not COM
mitted to Joseph +. Bell as a candidate is
wrong" This is word in the political
lexicon of the machine that is synonymous
Bryanesque and unsatisfactory.
HOPE is STIRRED.
The return of Mr.. Taggart has stirred
hope in the breasts of the machine crowd.
They look on his return as the awakening
of the machine hosts and that 1t means
their victory. The machine looks TO Tag
CART for direction. Mr.. Taggart, however,
seems to be busying himself with his own
affairs and shows disposition to renounce
his happy reputation for playing Atlas for
the local Democracy. The Democratic Titan
seems to have newer worlds on his back,
and the machine is trying to run with Bell
as the pilot.
Reach has continued his organization in
cessantly and his supporters say they are
well prepared for primaries at any time.
Some concern is manifested by them be-
cause the machine crowd is not more hos
tile. Most Of them lay 1t to the fact that
Taggart has not been the big wheel, which
discourages many, while others fear that
he is meeting the Reach programme with
some new and mysterious maneuver. Many
Reach men would feel better IL they could
find something more tangible to fight than
the plan of forcing Kern.
Some machine men last night were saying
that Taggart intended to take up the or
ganization fight unless much of the oppos-
ton to Bell was hastily compromised. If
he does the Democrats will be in contest
that probably will be the most serious that
the party has ever faced and one that will
leave the defeated irreconcilabe.

Interpretation OF life. The contrast and
cussion and other plays by the same author
were treated at length. "Othello" showed
the downfall OF spirit as an example.
broader In its scope than any OF Shak-
speare's other plays.
This play OF the varity OF an old king
was one OF broker hearts as at its close ten
OF the twelve main characters die. Mr..
Clapp said the fundamental idea upon
which was built the whole scheme was the
vanity Of Lear and the frivolity OF Glouster
vanity. not in the common meaning of
the word, but as an excessive love for adj
miration- The play was pagan In its ma
fure and all OF the characters are heather.
Mr.. Clapp explained. 1T is play OF
pleasant vices and a tragedy OF tribula-
ton. not death. said the speaker.
In conclusion MIR. Clapp spoke OF the
characters individually. and with masterful
conception INTERPRETATIONS az

pertaining speaker with a decidedly clever
manner OF making his auditors understand
