A WORD FOR THE ALDERMAN

DID yOu ever attend meeting Of The city council
It is monotonous and unnteresng times but it is
worth while for the citizen see the alderman at
work. Doubtless there would be less criticism, were
sympathetic cooperation and more appreciation Of
the services Of those gentlemen if the public more
more familiar with the men and the work they are
doing The published reports convey inadequate
dca Of the actual proceedings and the spirit that
prompts the men who are participants in them. The
aldermen Just our ordinary every day fellow citizen

ONCE MORE

G. e. Balzer, the cratic German
keeper of Mantle park, who threw
his special policeman star at Po-
lice Commissioner Roy a week ago,
is once more on the griddle, this
time through his remarks regarding
Chief of Police Waller, whom he
charges with being the instigator
of the troubles leading up to his
being called upon the carpet before
the police commission for abuse of
the special police privileges.
Chief Waller this morning made
formal complaint to the mayors Of
flee through Secretary Anderson,
and another investigation will in
all probability be held some time
next week when Balzer will be re-
quired to defend the charges be-
fore the park board.

DIRECT PRIMARY
WORKS OUT FINE

When the democratic county
convention meets next Saturday at
Elk's Temple, a committee, new to
county conventions, will probably
be appointed. 1t will be a canvass
ing committee, and its report will
practically contain the nominations
made by the convention.
Instructions to the men in charge
Of the direct primaries this after
noon and evening include orders
to preserve the voted ballots and
deliver them to the precinct COM
mitteemen, for reference in case
of contest. One set of the poll
books Is to be enclosed in the
stamped envelope forwarded to the
judges by the committee, and re-
turned to the secretary Of the
county central committee.
AAese poll books will be the
basis for the report Of the canvass
ing committee of the convention.
That report will show the number
of votes polled by each candidate
and a declaration that Candidate
So-and-so has received the highest
number of votes and is the nomi-
nee. The adoption of this report
will be the nominating work of the
convention.

Men at democratic headquarters
this morning said that thus far the
scheme for direct primary had
worked well and an increased inter-
est has been noted over other cleo
tons and primaries. In the city
precincts the voters will have two
ballots, one with the names of the
candidates to the convention and
one with the names of the candi-
dates for the direct nomination.
The one will determine the make
up of the convention, the other the
makeup Of the ticket.
H. d. Merritt, one of the chief
enthusiasts about the Headquarters,
was asked this morning if the COM
mittee had any predictions to make
as to the probable outcome of the
primaries tonight. He consulted
with Thomas Mallory for a moment,
used lead pencil vigorously for
another moment, looked up to the
ceiling for an instant of severe
cogitation and announced:
From this distance 1t would
seem probable and almost a fore
gone conclusion that such candi-
dates before the primary as have
no opposition will likely receive the
nomination"
