MAYOR HUGO is A CANDIDATE
TO SUCCEED HIMSELF,
Democrats Will Urge Dr.. Cullum to
Become Candidates. Mannheim
Not Thought to Be Strong.
Enough. Aidermanie Talk,

Inc filing OF papers for candidates
Tor nomination at the coming primary
election by Joseph Mannheim for the
democratic nomination for Mayor, and
Judge Gearhart for special judge, to-
gether with Mayor Hugo's statement
that he would be candidate for re-
election, has practically opened the
campaign which will occupy the atten-
ton of the people for the next four
months.
The fact that Mayor Hugo has sue
'ecded in raising the standard of the
police department will work in his IA
Eor during the campaign. It Is sup
posed that he is much stronger polite
ally than he was two years ago. He
WILL however, have no easy sailing if
the democrats put up the right kind
or a man. Alderman Joseph Mann
helrm is a very capable man and
would make a splendid mayor, but it
is not believed that he will be strong
enough in a campaign against such a
candidate as Mayor Hugo. Alderman
)lCullum is being talked Of by a good
many loyal democrats who vet hope
to be able to induce him to become a
candidate. DR.. Cullum is rather modest,
but when he once takes up a matter
he will work for it from morning until
( night. He perhaps, would not listen
! to the pleadings Of his friends unless
! ne was assured that he could have the
united support of his party. DR.. Cul.
lum stands for everything that the
local democracy stands for. He is
municipal ownership advocate, and his
position on that question has never
Deem questioned He believes in home
rule IN local affairs, and will exert his
influence in that direction before the
next state legislature. He stands for
a high standard of citizenship, and
would work to that end at all times,
Inc local democracy has no better man
tn present to the people at the COM
pns election, and it is sincerely hoped
Ithat they will still be able to secure
fhlm for their candidate.
1t is almost too early to discuss
aldermanc politics. The terms of the
following aldermen expire this year:
Dr. Cullum. T. NJ Krumseig, Jos.
Mannheim, Thos. Trevillion, w. E. Me-
Even, Eric Olson, Roland D. Haven
and w. E. Kern.
If Dr.. Cullum does not become a cam
be candidate to succeed himself in
the first ward. Alderman Krumseig
has cinch or the second ward as long
as he wants it. The city could hardly
afford to lose such a valuable man.
Fred White is being mentioned as a
democratic candidate in the Thru
ward. Mr. White is we'll known, and
IS Grand Master Workman for the A.
O. ~. w. of the state. The Republic
"nS} are talking w. r. Stephens of
vi 5th Street.
IN1 the Fourth Ward Tom Treyillion
sh'the only candidate mentioned. Others
ay develope during the campaign.
3.s the Fifth the Labor World is not in
y position to get much information,
,cept that W. F.. McEwen will prob
lily be d candidate to succeed him.
y If. When a fellow once gets the
| T flee fever it is rather hard to get rid
it. So McEWen has got it bad
Eric Olson has not yet determined
whether or not he will be a candidate
T TO succeed himself Roland Haven will
in all probability be the nominee of his
party in the Seventh. He has been a
good and useful member Of the council
! and deserves reelection.
w. E. Kern will have no trouble in
the Eight ward, that is if he wants to
| be a candidate. He has record in the
], Council that he can we'll be proud Of.
Judge S. F. White is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Special
