Inc Democratic candidate for re-

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

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

bitter. Aid. Bantz distinguished him

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-

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 mayors
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

city's interest during his term in Of

fidence placed in him by the voters.

Democrat and believer in clean gov

elected he will without doubt render a
good account Of his stewardship, and
will serve the city to the best of his
ability without question.

J. J. Brennan is the Democratic can

as any business man in his district.
He has resided in the Ninth ward since

into business at 1872 Rice street, in 1900,
and the following year he purchased

Central avenue and Wnbasha street.

at the present time he Is serving his
second term as secretary of the Ma

One Of the largest surprises at the

his initial appearance in politics as a
candidate for the Democratic nominal

that he can draw the Republican votes

campaign will be made in his behalf

A man who is popular not only for
himself as a man, but for what he has
done in the administration of the city's
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 a fact too
we'll 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 financially interested in several
banks and a director Of the American
National. AS a result of his expert
ence and training the city financial af-
fairs are at the present time in better
shape, more ably managed and more

fore in it's history. Mr.. Bremen is one

Assemblyman E. H. Whitcomb, who
is now rounding out his second term in
the assembly, has made himself a gem
eral favorite. His unvarying spirit Of
fairness and independence, backed by
his untiring vigilance in the interests
or good government and the city at
large, have won him many friends and
allies. Dr. Whitcomb, who has been a
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 we'll versed in the
cIty's needs, he is we'll 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 measure we'll worth the
copying. DR.. Whitcomb served two
terms as coroner Of Ramsey county in
the early '90s. He has resided in ST.
Paul for twenty-four years.
