mayor and members of the board of alder
men and the common council. The demo-

would run as republicans for the common
council and give the democratic nominees
sharp fight has not materialized. Mr.. L.

nounced himself as a candidate for mayor.

democrat. The election Of Mr.. F. J. Paff,
the democratic nominee. is practically as

returned.
