Republicans Must
Elect Three to
Retain 1t.
GARLAND TALK.
Reports of Possible Efforts to Put
Another Man in from Third Ward
Due to Present InCumbent's
Moving Second Ward
Expected to be Close.
Iy Divided.

The republicans are in the election
fight in this city this year with their
eyes not only on the general result,
but also to retain their majority in
the Board of Aldermen, for which
they will fight hard.
OF the three hold-over members
this year, two are democrats. There
are to be chosen this year an alder
man-at-large and aldermen in the
second, fourth and sixth wards.
Thus, in order to have even a bare
majority, or four of the seven men,
bers of the board, it will be neces-
sary for the republicans to elect three
of the four to be chosen at the COM
ing election.
There has also been heard some
talk among republicans that Alder
man Garland, who was elected in the
third ward last year for two years,
has moved from that bailiwick and
that another man might have to be
named to fill the unexpired term. A
lawyer asked about this said that if
man be elected from one ward he
can serve out his term, even if he
moves. The city attorney is under
stood to be of this opinion.
The political wiseacres are ponder
| ing whether William d. Voorhees, will
| be the democratic nominee for alder
man-at-large, and whether the re-
publicans will renominate John Pfeif-
| fer, who, it is understood, did not
care particularly for denomination
for a third term. Then there is the
question as to giving man third
term, and this argument has been
heard in the second ward, where Jo-
seph L. Crowell is the republican can
didate for school commissioner. His
opponent is Fred A. Seaman, who was
Mr.. Crowell's opponent when the lat
ter was reelected two years ago. 1t
is expected that. Mr.. Seaman will
make more of an effort for election
this year than he did in 1905. The
second ward is expected to be the
| scene of warm contest between
William Hoy and B. M. Cannon for
alderman, and each side is already
claiming victory
Based on the way the primaries
went, it looks as though William T.
Stacey would probably get the free
holder nomination on the republican
| ticket, but that Hanson has consider
able strength was shown by the cleo
tion of his county delegates in two
polls, but the Strong-Haney cohorts
are sure, they say, of controlling the
convention, the fight against bosses
in the county having been confined
almost entirely to this city. DR.. Frank
Crowther's chances for the nomina-
tion for surrogate on the G.. o. P
ticket to oppose the probable demo
cratic candidate, Peter F. Daily the
present incumbent, are bright, al
though many friends of William Car
! man are urging him for the nomina-
ton.

soon after the operation he died. His

He seemed nervous and unable TO give
his usual attention TO persons and things

most entirely to a defense Of the govern

claimed that it always had tried to work
with the Center in matters touching the

sympathy with the Paris Commune and
similar movements, the government felt
that It could no longer work with a party
which by the fact Of this alliance assajled
the authority of the government.

as an able vind.cation of the governments $
