candidate for alderman, and his opponent
will be Seth B. Smith.
Mr.. Gillen has represented the ward in
the School, Board Sor two terms, and be-
lieves that he has ability for the work
In the Common Council.
Mr.. Smith is a prominent member of
the John j. Gaynor Association, and IS
very popular, although he has never filled
any Office,
1t Is said that whichever enc is elected
II will be by a small majority. owing to
the appeals that are being made TO voters
of the ward.
Frank Fetridge will oppose Alderman
John F. sinnotK the president of the Com
mo- Council, for alderman, in the Sew
enth Ward. and, while he realizes
that he has undertaken a big con-
tract, yet he feels that because he
Is, the business agent of the Metal
Workers Union and is very popular among
labor organization men, his chances for
election are good.
Alderman Sinnott believes that his
chances for election this year are better
than last, because the two lower districts
of the Eleventh Ward. which are largely
Democratic, have been added to the 'old
Seventh" He carried the ward two years
ago by 49l plurality, but believes that the
ward will go Democratic by nearly LOCO
tomorrow. Both men are working hard
among their friends for votes.
In the Eighth Ward the Republicans will
have two candidates for alderman, and the
Democrats two. because Of the resignation
of Alderman Burnett, so that there will be
q long. and short term candidate to be
elected.
The Republican candidates are Daniel
Hopper, long term, and Charles l.. Whit
field, short term.

the long term nominee for the Democrats
and Paul L. V. Thiery the short term.
All are well-known residents of the ward,
and the ward is sure to be ably trepre-
sented, whichever of the candidates are
elected.
1t appears to b. almost a foregone con-
clusion that the Republican candidates. VIII
Sc elected, because the ward Is so over
whelmingly Republican that 1t would take
a big landslide to elect the Democratic
nominees, but nothing like that Is looked
for in that ward this year by the political
managers,

Inee for alderman in the Ninth Ward, and
