MCINTYRE MAY ENTER
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL SURVEY
 ING NATIONALITY SITUATION.
Other Men Are Still sitting on the Fence in Doubt--Charies F.
 Anderson May Run.

Cornelius Patrick Mcintyre. Presi- dent of the City Council of Montgom- cry, Is being groomed, preparatory to entering the Mayoralty Handicap.
 In truth President Mcintyre was ex- ercising a little bit on Dexter Avenue yesterday afternoon. He was giving those who have registered and paid their poll tax the glad hand and ask ing them how they stood in this May or's race" t
 When asked if he would really en- ter the big race, the genial young al- dernian smiled.
 Its pretty safe to say I will," he said. T am feeling around now and have met much encouragement and in all probability I will be in the run ming. But leave me a 1oophole. Things may turn up which will cause me to think that Alderman from Ward is about as big job as I care to go af- ter this time."
 MT. Mcintyre Is serving his second term in the City Council. In the Jo- seph Council he was the leader of the so-called opposition and was elected President of the reorganized Council after many ballots. He is a young lawyer of high standing and Is well known and popular throughout Mont gomery."
 Yesterday did not appear like cam paign day. Politics was discussed fre- quently enough but the candidates and their friends were not button holing other electors. The impression seems to be that there will be several other candidates strong delegation of the friends of Charles P. Anderson insist , that he will enter the race, and the other candidates are closely watching | his every movement.
 | At least three score people have pos itive tips from persons close to Mir. l Anderson that he will be in the rum | ming while an equal number have l equally positive assurances that he will be content to stick to his coal bus | mess. All candidates believe that MT | Anderson will play a star part in the | campaign should he enter and a defi- :, nite announcement is anxiously await | ed.
 Judge Terry Richardson is still un- l decided, as Is Alderman Forbes. MT 1 Teague has practically decided to run | in fact he is running. At least five | formal announcements will be made by l Sunday.
 | The only avowed candidates thus far are Aldermen ]. K. Jackson and J. J <. Sullivan and Judge Francis c. Ran | dolph.
 Chief of Police Gerald is still con- fined to his bed at his home on Wash | ington Street. He has received mum erous calls but the Neville of Mont gomery politics won't talk politics ex- cept in very vague terms. His friends are anxiously awaiting an expression or an indication from him as the i'm pression is growing every day that his office will be the battle-ground of the campaign. s%SA | CandfdataS for al dn of ep- near as anxious to go on the turf this early in the game as the mayoralty as- | pirants. It is believed that every member of the present Council, who does not enter the lists for Mayor. will be a candidate for reelection for hi. seat in the Council. with the exception | of Alderman Leopold Strauss of Wart 2, who announces that his business will prevent his again seeking aldermanit honors
 In Ward 1 it is said that Alderman Gunter and Coins will have severa opponents. and in Ward 2, there vii be severats sASnifal lnts for ' tba 4Racahc! caused by Mir Strauss's withdrawal No candidates in opposition to Alder men uobman and Forbes have beer spoken of in Ward 3.
 Tn Ward 4 Alderman Roemer wil again run, as will Alderman Mcintyre If he Should not enter the mayoralt. contest. W. W. Seidel, a well knowl railroad conductor has been spoken o and friends of H. Burgin Fuller, young lawyer, are urging his claims.
 In Ward there will be opposition to the present Councilmen and il Ward Jesse .Wadsworth and Jame Toole will probably run in addition t Alderman Ryan, There may be sey eral others.
 AS yet, however, the aldermanic sit uation Is chaotic but the next tw' weeks will pretty well clarify the sit uation.
