Interest at the primary of the Re
publican party centers this year on
the mayoralty fight with the council
man fight in the Third and Fourth
wards in the strong hmelight because
of its prOblematical effect on the
mayoralty vote as well as certain in
teresting developments which are
looked for from the city council with
reference to the granting of fran
chises.
Political lines are now drawn taut
and tense The situation viii be gone
carefully over at the HEADQUARTERS of
the two respective candidates tonight
and the plans made and ironed out for
the handling of the voters to the
polls. Both sides have attempted to
canvass the situation in the various
wards of the city. Both sides feel con
fdent OF the result of their canvass.
BergundthRl and Davis both have
good orga nlzauOns at work. The lat
ter has been particularly active within
the past three days They have car
ried the circular and dodger idea to
its utmost possibilities The other side
has retaliated with similar methods.
Bergundthals majority two years
that this year; the majority if Sc
cured Will be cut down heavily The
First ward viii probably so to Ber-
gundthaI by a small majority, not to
exceed, it is said, 200.
The Second ward viii 60 for Davis.
this of course is to be expected. The
question of majority is the only one
which interests Two years ago this
was carried for Lewis BY majority
Of 314. The fight will probably be
not as close this year.
In the Third ward Davis residency
in the third precinct will act against
as heavy q Doll for Bergundthal as
was received there two years ago.
The majority at that time was 1893
Davis viii doubtless carry his own
precinct. What Bergundthafs major
atica-l.
The Fourth ward is a gamble. Both
sides claim it and neither side have
very good figures to support their
claims. They are pure guesses. The
hardest kind of a fight is being waged
