The Candid $.

| In the First ward there are three
candidates, With the principal fight be-
| tween O. l.. Ingledue and r. 4. Wa
terbury. Mr.. Ingledue is the present
| incumbent, having served the short
| term, of less than year, caused by the
resignation of |. T. kirby. Mr. Water
bury is on the reform ticket, being one
OF the leaders of the "home protection
movement. He stands for higl1 prin-
ciples of citizenship. as outlined In his
platform. but If the vote of the same
movement, year ago. is any criterion,
there is insufficient support In the
ward to insure election. Mr.. Ingledue
has made a good member of the coun-
ell, and has many friends In his ward.
1t is quite generally considered doubt
full that his opposition Will cut nucn
figure. and that he will be erected by
Il good majority. Peter Olson is rhe So
cialst candidate in the First.

less politics than any other In the city,
battle royal is TO be waged Monday
The voters OF the ward have two good
men before them in the persons or
Ralph w. Mcbride. the present incurn-
bent, and DR.. w. s. Devlne.' Each has
many friends. and the voters can not
go amiss in the election of either. Mr..
Mcbride has served one term and has
made a good member of the council.
His friends are urging his election on
the grounds of his efficient work on
the fire committee. in the installation
of the new paid service. and on the
special water committee which had
charge of the solution of the water
problem by the building of the new
reservoir, now about completed DR.

man for the place, and would make a
valuable addition to the council His
aggressiveness. and the posit.veness
with which he stands for what he con-
siders right, is being used by his sup
porters From all indications the fight
in the Second ward will be one of the
closest in the city. p. T.. Wanberg is
the candidate of the socialist party in
the Second.
I'm the Third ward there are four
candidates. j. NJ. Cooper, DR.. G. W.

opinion of voters in the ward, as near
" as can be obtained by the T-R, is
that DIR. Harris will win out Dr.. Har-
