There will be a special election in the
fifth ward Jan. II to elect an aldermanic
successor to D. P. Jones. The new pri-
mary election law not covering the case
Of an election to fill vacancies, the old
style precinct caucuses will be held the
evening Of Jan. II to elect delegates
to a republican convention to name the
party candidate. The republican party is
so strong in the ward that it's choice will
decide the matter.
Mr.. Jones has ho1.ored both his ward
and the city by the high character Of
service rendered during his six years in
the city council. The voters~are entitled
to worthy successor, and they can ind
one in the candidates presented.
There are four candidates in the field
for the republican nomination.: John S.
Dodge, Wendell Hertig, DR.. H. w. Brazis
and John M. Hazen.

equipped for effective service as alder
man than the other two.
