While Mr. Webster's friends are adj
vocating their candidates reelection,
| those of DR.. Getz are busy in forward
| ing his interests. They claim that
| the doctors reputation for aggressive
ness. and the stand that he has taken
on important questions, makes him a
candidate such as is not often placed
before the consideration of voters. DR..
Gstz believes in many kinds of reform
and one of his hobbies is clean streets
and alleys. his friends feel that h.
would make a good member OF the
council. and are doing everything pos
stole 20 further his interests.
Mr.. Probst's friends are also active,
and are making every effort to capture
the vote. Mr.. Probst is cigar maker,
a union man, and his candidacy is be-
ing fostered to Il certain extent by tina.
class. He has many friends in his
ward, and all believe him to be a good
man for the place. Discussion has
arisen, on charge made, that Mr..
Probst WAS brought out in the inter-
ests of Dr. Getz, to divide the Webster
vote but this Is denied
In the Fifth ward there is a three
cornered contest. with ID. +. Arnold.
w g. Craig and Charles Wassme:
the candidates. Mr.. Arnold is the
present incumbent, and has served oi't
term. Considerable speculation IS
being INDUCED in as to the outcome,
and it is generally thought the fight
lies between MIR. Arnold and Mr.. Wass-
mer. Mr.. Craig himself does not con-
slider that he is strong candidate and
says he would not have come out had
he known Mr.. Arnold was To run. II ;
makes this statement to refute one TO
the effect that he was brought out
10 divide the labor vote in Mr.. Wass
mers favor. Mr. Arnold's friends
claim that his election is assured. and
the same claim is made by Mr.. Wass
mer s EfnpatnlZefS.
The Sixth ward has he2largest NUM-
BIER of candidates of any in the city,
and two are TO be elected. The can
didates are Merritt Greene. until re-
Gently Third ward representative on
the council; Julius C. Holm and H. II.
Mead, socialist; John A. Sieg. f. w.
Isenaan. and George w. Smith. An
effort has been made by prominent
workers in the ward to pull togethe:
for Sieg and Iseman, but the outcome
is problematical. Mr.. Greenes friends
have been very active. and claim that
his election is assured. Even some Of
those who have been working against
him. admit the possibility of his cleo
ton. because the vote will be so badly
split. Mr.. Smith and the socialist
candidates are considered the weak
est. Some guessers name the VIM
ners Greene and Sieg, others Greene
and Iseman, and others Iseman anu
Sieg. A great deal of work has been
done in the Sixth by the friends of all
candidates.

Each candidate has many friends. and
as all are we'll known the outcome &
very uncertain Mr.. LaPlant's friends
are doing considerable work, for he has
the reputation OF being a hard worker
In everything he undertakes, and they
feel that he has more time to devote to
a proposition of this kind than some
Of the other candidates. MIR. Rubee's
friends are also active, as are those
OF Mr.. Fisher and Mr.. Christianson
The election of park commissioners
extent 1t has been overshadowed by the |
contests for the council in the different |
wards. 1t Is thought, however, that the |
fact that the park commits |
sioners are to be chosen at
this election, will assist In getting |
out the vote, especially In the First /
ward, where two of the candidates, Mr. i
Mohr and Mr.. Rubee, reside, and in the
Second. the ward OF Mr.. LaPlant and |
Mr.. Fisher. Mr.. Christensen lives In |
the Sixth ward. The first of the park
