Peter Mccoy, alderman of the ninth
ward, will think that he has run the
gauntlet if he should succeed in break:
ing into the city council for the third
time. On the first place he will be
compelled to engage in a robust fight
with John w. Larson for the demo.
cratic nomination and should the for
tunes Of war favor him he will have a
large-sized fight with the republican
nominee. They are after Mccoy this
time, and he seems to realize that he
will have a big job to hold his seat
Larson is said to be making a most ag'
gressive campaign, being backed by AL

former supporters Of Mccoy.
Three men are entered for the repub2'
lican nomination in the ninth ward
namely: Nels Swanson, fuel dealer;
J. j. Mcclure, a plumber, and D. w
Morgan. Swanson is regarded as q
strong man and would give Mccoy the
fight of his life. J. J. Mcclure sal
in the council from 1891 to 1895 as {
democrat, but has been a. republi soa

Like the ninth ward, the tenth i
also debatable ground, and there will
be plenty Of candidates for J. II. Dur
yeas sandals. Former Alderman
James Dryer is the only man who ha
applied for the democratic nomination

dissent. for the veteran is strong will

John W. Wilson and Frank D. Brown
are trying for the republican nomina

Each says that he can beat Dwyer a
the polls and as the latter is q dought7
fighter some lively times may be LOOKED
for in the tenth.
