MANY SURPRISES
ARE PROMISED IN
WARD CONTESTS
Candidates for Alderman and
Freef1older Hustle to Inn
prove Chances.
DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT OF
MAJORITY IN COUNCIL
Fight for Balance of Power in
Board Hottest Phase of
Campaign.

Despite the stress of the national, the
county and the city campaign, there is
considerable interest felt in many local
fights throughout the city, and the cam
didates for alderman and freeholder
are all making lively individual can
vases fer votes where there is any
chance for election.
In some wards the contest will be
one-sided. For instance, in the Eighth
and Eleventh wards there will be little
chance for Democrats, and in the Fifth
and Twelfth nothing is expected by
Republicans.
Representatives of the party organi-
cations in the minority at present in
other wards are hopeful, and in some
cases confident of winning. but the con-
f~estants in power are making strenuous
Efforts to retain a~scendancy.
The contest for the freeholdership Is
probably the most interesting and a
possible reason for this, apart from the
Importance of the position, is the fact
that the ~freeholder is the only ward
Office that is saleried. The board now
stands 16 to 16.
IN the present tOiHllOu 1oullCii LILO
Democrats had everything their own
way by the vote of go to 8, but one of
the minority has resigned and mother
has died. The Democrats will have
eleven of the present 20 as hold-overs
and are confident of securing more than
five out of the sixteen wards where
elections VIII be held.
There will be eighteen aldermen
chosen, one in each ward, n addi-
ticral ones in the Ninth and Sixteenth
wards.
During the last two years the First
ward has been close in the ward con-
tests. Alderman Joseph A. Wright won
out twice by narrow margins against
previously heavy Republican pluralities.
He and the other Democratic leaders of
the ward claim they will put the ward

lican ward leader, George P. Coles, says
the ward will be returned entirely to
the Republican ranks.

Only one witness in the suit of ia

been heard when the judge stopped
the trial. Root asked 81 eco damages
because, he alleged, Susannah circu-

AN OTHER UNSUCCESSFUL
SEARCH.

All efforts to locate the unknown
bark reported yesterday by the cap
tain of the Russian bark Ocean as
flying signals for assistance in the
gulf Wednesday morning have been
unsuccessful.
Pilots on duty in the gulf en-
deavored to locate her and kept a
close watch IN tne hope of rendering
assistance, bun the day ended without
them learning anything more con-
corning the vessel than they already
knew.
Two steamships have arrived in
port since the bark was first reported.
but their. arrival brought no tidings
of the vessel in need of assistance
These were the American steamship
Virginia, which entered from New
York, and the Spanish steamship vi
vina, from Liverpool via Cuban
ports. Neither of these steamers
made and report of having sighted
the bark
1t is not thought that any damage
had been sustained by the unknown
bark, it being the general opinion
along the water front that some one
was sick on board. This opinion is
supported by the fact that the vessel
was under way and sailing in a
southerly direction.
The tug Simpson left port yester-
day for ST. Andrews and close
watch will be kept in an endeavor TO
locate the bark.

CUBAN EDITOR
LEAVES TAMPA
Man Who Prosecuted Bob
McNarnee, Decides to Re-
turn to Havana.

A special from Tampa says: After
a strenuous two years service as edi-
tor and publisher at YbOr City of the
Saturdays issue CT FL Progresso de
Tampa, Jose Otero has returned to
Havana and will proosoiy never set
foot on Tampa soil again. In last
Saturdays issue of I'll ProgreSSo de
Tampa, he gave his valedictory, in
which ne scored what he termed the
partial and loose enforcement of law
in the United States, declaring that
the laws Of this country are good
enough. but that the are not proper
ly enforced.
Otero is the man who was the pros
ecuting witness in the recent case
in the Hillsborough county criminal
court, in which Robert McNamee and
Emilio Garcia were found guilty of
aSSaulting him but not sentenced by
Judge Gordon. VINO declared that he
would rather resign his position on
the bench than punish the men for
the offense, as the scandalouS and I'M.
true editorial of Otero wlich caused
the assault fully justified the de-
PENDANTS in committing it.
Otero commenced tie publication
of FL Progresso de Tampa in Ybor
City two years ago and from the very
stirring up strife between the Span
iardS, Cubans and Americans, his
most notable articles being those in
which he charged seIora1 prominent
doctors of Tampa with malpractice,
the sherifTs office and other county
officials with protection OF the gam
blers of Ybor and West Tampa, the
later article endeavoring to involve
Robert McNamee and being the one
which caused the latter's assault upon
him.
There is now an Information hang
ing over Otero in tle county criminal
court for libel, resulting from anoth-
err of his editorials which charges
a well known West Tampa druggist
with making mistake in a prescrip-
ton which caused little girls
death. As the agitatoT-editor has
quit the country for good it will prob
ably never be called Up. Many of
the best Spanish citizens feel that
the skidoo of Otero is a great bless
ing to the community.

Threat Made in Westminster

Bryan Wins.
Special to The Journal.

West Chester, Fa., Oct, 22.-When
seen this evening, P. NJ. Sharples, pro-
prietor of the large separator works
employing a thousand men, many OF
whom are Democrats, was not in
clined to discuss his action in posting
notices IN his extensive plant telling
the employees in plain words that they
must not vote for William jennings
Bryan, and that if Bryan should be
eIscted the works would be closed.
Mr. Sharples simply directed atteu
ton to the notice as posted as all
answer.
The men were more than surprised
when they reported for wok this mon
ing to have copies Of the notice read
to them by their foreman, and also 70
be informed that they must appear in
the Republican parade tonight in a
body and to a man.
The threat was plainly made that they
would be out of work for at least a
wear, which practically meant perpet
rally. so far as the plant is concerned
if they supported Bryan or in the
event of his success at the comm 2
election.
Threat to Close the Works.
