M. De Wore, Republicans, and Frank
Cutting, Democrat.
). u. Holmes will receive very little
encouragement from union labor in his

restaurant keepers say that Mr.,

written articles to the Labor World
which indicates his sympathy for tho
cause Of labor.
Frank Cutting, the next Democratic
nominee, is said to have the best legal
m1nd IN the City Of Duluth. He has
always been true blue, and in the fin
al count it is expected that he will
lead his Republican rival merry
chase.
Alderman Moore will have no oppo-
s1tlon in the First Ward. His record
IN the Council is an open book. He
IS admired and respected by everv
citizen who can appreciate the con-

loves good fighter, and Mr.. Moore
certainly holds the prize in the Com

opponent is Ed. Totman. A hot fight
is predicted at the primaries m this
ward. Mich Mueller, the popular con-
tractor will be the Democratic

T: The main fight In the city will be
centered in he Fifth ward. Alderman
Wing will have as his opponent at the
primaries Ex-Alderman Harwood of
Duluth Heights. Both men have strong
fol]owings. Edward Ribenach, the
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton is also considered to be strong
It was he who transformed the old
bowery into business block What
ing to do for years, he with little
capita! succeeded in doing without
much trouble.
In the Sixth ward Alderman Frank
Schaffer has everything his own way.
Martin l.. Fraser has filed for the Re-
publican nomination, but it is fore
gone conclusion that he will only have
the pleasure Of running
L. A. Barnes will be opposed in the
Seventh ward by M. j. Filiatrault. Mr..
Barnes got off luckily two years ago,
but this year even he will admit that
he will be obliged to go some in order
to be reelected.
Alderman Sang will retire In the
Eight ward. A. Hendrickson is the
Republican candidate, and his op-
ponent will be W: B. Gethcell. It is
rather too early to make any forecasts
in this ward.
