Three well-known, citizens of til
thirteenth ward are in the field for tn
republican nomination for the alder
manship: John H. Van Nest, the pres
emit incumbent, who asks for, anothe
term as a public approval Of his SCI
vices in behalf of the ward; James S
Gray, who sat in the council from 1873
to 1895, and James B. Gleason, rea.
estate dealer. It is natural that a,
candidates will profess hopes Of success
but victory at the primaries is predict
,, ed for Van Nest,- as Mr.. Gleason ha
not shown himself much of a vote
getter in the past, and Mr.. Gray ha
not been as active in public affairs a
he was ten or fifteen years ago.
