The Democratic candidate for re-
election as alderman of the Eighth
ward, Matthias Bantz, is one of the al
dermen elected to the council to at
tend to the interests of their respective
wards and the city, who has really
made himself useful in that body, who
has more than met every expectation
of those who elected him, and who is
always on the lookout for something
that will improve conditions. The fact
that he has been nominated to sue
coed himself is proof that Eighth ward
ers appreciate a good man when they
see him. Two years ago his nominal
ton and election was in the face of
intense opposition, not alone from. the
opposite party, but within his own
ranks. This year the opposition has
taken the form Of strong personal feel
ing and-the fight has been somewhat
bitter. Aid. Bantz distinguished him
self in the council and in his ward
when he defeated the measure provid-
ing for an express street car service
between st. Paul and Minneapolis
along University avenue, which would
have been very detrimental to that
thoroughfare and to the ward 1t is
confidently expected that the voters of
the Eighth will show their apprecia
ton of his services on election day.
Men of his stamp in public life are not
too numerous.

Mr.. Yoerg, Democratic nominee for
the assembly, who is a Sixth warder,
has lived in st. Paul all his life. He
was born in 1867 and has resided in the
Sixth ward ever since he was five
years old. His candidacy in the pres
ent run for the assembly was urged
upon him by friends, and is his first
appearance before the voters as a can
didate. He is an advocate of "clean
government and if elected will with
out doubt be favorably heard from. He
has been connected with the Yoerg
Brewing company since the death of
his father in 1896. He is a graduate Of
the Massachusetts, School of Technol-
ogy at Boston, where he was in attend
ance for four years. While this is his
initial appearance as a candidate Mr..
Yoerg has been an active party work
er for years and has long been high
in the councils of the party He is
regarded as a good, clean candidate
who will render a good account OF
himself at the polls.

A man who is popular not only for
himself as q man. but for what he has
done in the administration of the citys
financial affairs as a public official,
not only among the members OF his
own party but among those of all 9TH
er parties, is Mr. Otto Bremen, present
city treasurer of ST. Paul and now
candidate for reelection on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Personally Mr.. Bremen
is possessed of much charm and his
business training has been such as to
peculiarly fit him for the work OF his
office. That he has done everything
that any one could desire is fact too
well known to be repeated here. His
training commenced fourteen years
ago with the National German Amer
lean bank, since which he has occu-
pied various positions with that in
stitution, in his upward career. He is
today a prominent banker of the city,
being flancially interested in several
banks and a director of the American
National. AS a result of his expert
ence and training the city financial at
fairs are at the present time in better
shape, more ably managed and more
successfully conducted than ever be-
fore in Its history Mr.. Bremen is one
of those public servants that st. Paul
cannot afford to lose and 1t is not
feared that he will fail of reelection.

There is apparently no room for
doubt but that Henry G.. Haas will be
returned to the assembly for his sec
ond term, his record during the initial
term having been all that the most
exacting could ask. 1t Is doubtful if
there is any one member of the assem-
bly, who has been more generally
praised for his actions in that body
than has Mr. Haas, and his record is
but earnest of his intentions when
reelected. He is a member of the
firm of Haas Bros, meat dealers and
packers, at 459 st. Peter street. He
resides at 739 ST. Peter street. AS
president of the common council, Mr..
Haas has frequently filled the mayor
chair during the absence from the city
of Mayor Smith. Numbering his
friends among all classes and in all
parts of the city, it is not surprising
that his return to the governing body
two years ago was by one of the larg-
est votes afforded an assemblyman,
and his careful preservation of the
city's interest during his term in Of
fee has more than justified the con-
fidence placed in him by the voters.

Winn Powers, editor of the Odd Fell

grand master of the Odd Fellows lodge,
Jurisdiction of Minnesota, is expected
to make a good showing in his candi-
dacy for the assembly. He is a stanch
Democrat and believer in clean gov
eminent. He resides at Merriam Park,
and his candidacy, assumed somewhat
against his will. was at the urgent So
licitation of his friends and the party
leaders, who believe that he should be
elected without difficulty. He was de-
feated for the assembly two years ago
by a very narrow margin. He is a
member of several fraternal organiza-
lions. and is universal favorite. If
elected he will without doubt render
good account of his stewardship, and
will serve the city to the best Of his
ability without question.

One of the largest surprises at the
late primaries was the excellent show

For the first time in several years
there are excellent prospects of a Dem
ocratic alderman being returned from
the Republican first ward. Charles
Nyberg, the Democratic nominee, is a
popular Scandinavian, who has an i'm
1nense following in his ward, and is
generally regarded as a good man for
the place. He is well liked by all
classes. This is Nyberg's first run for
any public office, and the showing
made by him at the primaries prom

that he can draw the Republican votes
necessary for his election from his OPP
ponent, Linden, who is not believed to
be so popular as Nyberg. Mr.. Nyberg

campaign will be made in his behalf,

Assemblyman E. H. Whitcomb, who
is now rounding out his second term in
the assembly, has made himself a gen
eral favorite. His unvarying spirit of
fairness and independence, backed by
his untiring vigilance in the interests
of good government and the city at
large, have won him many friends and
allies. DR.. Whitcomb, who has been
practicing physician of unquestioned
ability in St. Paul for years past, is a
product of Minnesota. His calling
takes him to every part of the city, and
hence, since he is well versed in the
city's needs, he is well qualified for
his post in the governing body. OF
the legislation inspired by him during
his terms in the assembly, perhaps the
most important and the one attracting
the most attention, was his ordinance
known as "the anti tuberculosis or
dinance," which has been widely com
mended as a health measure and
which has been taken up by other
cities as a measure well worth the
copying. Dr. Whitcomb served two
terms as coroner of Ramsey county in
the early ZOOS. He has resided in st.
Paul for twenty-four years.
