LOCAL POLITICS
MANY ARE AFTER
SEATS IN COUNCIL
FIELD IN SEVERAL WARDS AL
READY WE'LL DEFINED.
In the Third, Mumm's Overthrow Will
Be the Subject of Democratic Cau-
Gus Next Week-Stockwell Will Get
Into the Game as Candidate From
the Twelfth.

Aldermanic politics is beginning to
sizzle in some of the wards of the
city.
The democrats Of the Third ward
intend to hold a caucus the evening
of July 12. at which time they will
decide upon some one candidate upon
whom they can all unite for alder
man. A general invitationSis extended
to all Third ward democrats to attend
the meeting. And in extending such
an invitation, q decided departure Is
made from the old Third ward demo-
cratic way of doing things-when
few party leaders used to meet In the
rear of some place Of refreshment and
fix up slate to suit themselves. They
now desire to obViate any fractional
discord, and unite on some man with
whom they may defeat Alderman
Claus Mumm, the republican alderman
of the ward who is sure Of renomina-
ton by his party. 1t is probable the
democrats will unite on O. G.. Rosing
as their candidate, junior member Of
the firm of Kenyon Rosing company,
jobbers In farm implements and ma
chinery. O. G.. Rosing Is brother Of
L. A Rosing of Cannon Falls, who
was democratic nominee for governor
against Van, SAINT.
The democratic leaders argue that
the old Third is normally a demo-
cratic ward and that if they all get
and nominate a good man, they can
elect him over Mumm. They believe
that republican success in the Third
heretofore has been due to demo-
. cratic factional differences.
Mr.. Rosing has never before ap-
peared in the political field, and says
he will only do so this time if he is
unanimously the choice Of the caucus
for the place.
In the tenth ward the republicans
are trying to unite on some good can
didate with whom they can defea
Alderman James Dwyer for re-elec.
ton. The republicans of the tenth
have been troubled in the past in the
same way as the democrats Of the
third. fractional fights among them
selves have so divided their strength
that the democrats elected their al
derman when the ward was normal
ly republican.
The harmony spirit recently in
vaded republicanism Of the ninth
ward, with a result that they decided
to unite on G. w. Lindquist, superin
tendent of the hearse department o
the Northwestern Manufacturing
company. But strain Of discord ha
manifested itself In the republican
candidacy of Nels Swanson for alder
manic honors. The democrats in thu

ward. Perry Long 1eemocrat), has
filed as an aldermanic! candidate. He
has served two terms in the council
in 1892 and 1900-and was defeated
for a third term by the present al
derman, John Ryan. Long now jumps
into the game again to get even with
his successful democratic rival, Ryan.
If the republicans unite on some
strong man in the first ward, they
should be able to elect him.
In the twelfth ward strong and
unexpected dark horse has sprung up
on the democratic side in the person
Of s. A. Stockwell, former state SEN
ator. 1t is confidently asserted that
he will come out as candidate for
the position Of alderman. His nomi-
nation by the twelfth ward democra-
cy is assured.
Republicans desiring the alderman
ic nomination in the twelfth are the
present incumbent, A. S. Adams; W.
w. Ehle, a mail carrier; John Todd
the present street commissioner, and
Nels Holmgren. 1t seems probable
Adams will be renominated, altho
Todd promises to give him a hard
run. Todd was a candidate in 1900
and 1902, and each time was defeated
by close vote.

One of the strong features of the
show is the work of the spieler who
discourses while the programme of
dances is in progress. He does not hes

APPEAL TO POPULISTS.
Judge Babb Calls Upon Them to Be-
stir Themselves.

A manifesto has been issued by
Chairman Babb and Secretary Curran
of the PopuliSt state central commit
tee, urging the Populists to turn out
at the polls and vote for Watson for
president at the coming election. The
address is intended to arouse from
their lethargy Populists who have been
inclined to stay at home
The address arraignS the Republi-
can party as the organ of the trusts
and closes by saying that the Demo-
Gratis who are in control of the Dem
ocratic party at present-the eastern
DemocratS-are just as bad as the Re-
publicans. 1t points to Mr.. Bryan's
newly advocated doctrines of public
ownership of railroads. direct election
of federal officers, an income tax, and
other measures, and it alleges that
many Democrats and Republicans are
Just about ready to join the Populists.
The address is as follows:
ITO the Populists of Kansas:
Possibly some of you are undecid-
ed as to whether you should go to the
polls this year, or if you go what
ticket you should vote. We do not
presume to direct you in this matter,
but beg to offer a few suggestions.
I'm our judgment there has never
complish more by showing large
strength Millions of voters. including
Democrats and Republicans, are al
most ready to break with trust ridden
parties and help US to promote our
fundamental principles.
Mr.. Bryan has boldly announced
his program to be to push public
ownership, direct legislation, income
tax, the election of senators. federal
Judges and postmasters by popular
vote. Multitudes will be ready to fol-
low him in these measures. Now is
the time for every man to be at his
post. Every opponent of monopoly
and plutocracy should support with
all his power the great leader of the
Peoples party, Hon. Tom Watson.

WHAT'S THE USE

ker and Davis. Cleveland democracy
nationally is in the saddle. Between
this democracy and the Republican
party there is no issue but the pie coun-
ter. The men in chief command in the
Democratic party nationally today are
men who either opposed Bryan in two
campaigns or supported him in a half
hearted way. We do not see now any
man, Democrat or Populist, who sin
cerely followed the banner of Bryan
in two hard fought battles against
plutocracy can now support pluto
cracy under the Parker-Davis banner.
The only thing left for men who pro-
pose to vote for principle, and not sim
ply to help a. few hungry Cleveland

pie counter, is to vote and work for
Tom Watson.

man who is in the game" takes a
paddle, and pays the proprietors of the
game 10 cents. That makes 20 cents
income. The spindle is turned, and
the man whose paddle shows the num-
Der indicated by the spindle collects
so cents. The proprietor's profit is 20
cents on every turn of the spindle. 1t
takes about SO seconds to pay in, turn
the spindle, and cash the winner, so
this would make a profit to the pro-
prietor of about 40 cents a minute, or
$24 an hour.
When the game is a little slow. the
proprietor himself holds all the pad
dies not taken, and so takes some
chances on his own profits.
These paddle games are running I'M
der the guise of spindle games. They
have knives, cigars and similar plum
der scattered around on the board to
give the appearance of innocence, but
the transactions are all strictly on a
cash basis. The knives and other
merchandise is merely the proprietor'S
little joke.
Other Games of Chance.
1t is the game which has money in
sight which does the big end of the
business. Money is what talks to the
crowd. While the paddle games are
running full blast all the time, the man
who has the board covered with coins
which are yours if you ring EN- is
rushed with patronage.
The man who has coins to ring sells
three rings for a dime, and eight for a
quarter. The rings are iron harness
rings, just large enough to go around
a silver dollar and leave no room to
rent. On the board, which is five feet
long, three feet wide and tilted side
ways at an angle of about Is degrees,
are scattered all kinds of coinS-nickelS
dimes, quarters, halves and dollars.
There are few IS and 81 bills scatter
ed around on the board, each with
silver dollar on top. If you ring the
dollar. you get not only the dollar but
the bill underneath it.
In the course of about twenty minutes
during the busiest part of the afternoon
Thursday, a State Journal reporter saw
the following coins rung: one silver
dollar two fifty cent pieces, five quar-
tiers, ten dimes and twenty nickels, max
ing total of S5.25 which the proprietor
paid out. During that time he had
three customers busy throwing rings
nearly all the time, and must have ia
ken in at least SO, probably more. His
profits were therefore about So for TWEEN
ty minutes, or at the rate of SIS an
hour.
The coin board is probably not a
cane racks, knife racks andnigger-ba by
racks, and is a game of Skill not
chance.
The various kinds of old fashioned
racks, where the knife you ring is the
knife you GET are doing a moderate
business. They do not have jam of
people around them all the time as do
the games where money is the prize.
