COONEY HAS
 FIRST TICKET
Republican Caucus Names Slate Pledged to News
 paper Man and Lee
HOT TIME IN OLD NINTH

The whirlpool of Republican inter nal politics has it's vortex in the Ninth district where innumerable alderman ic candidates keep the night noisy and the day fervent with prayers for help. In this district two candidates for town clerk add to the turmoil, B. F. Cooney. the well known newspaper man, will, it. seems, in this district at least, be backed by the administration and his packers have the honor of putting into the field the first repub- lican delegate ticket that is in any was a meeting of some 35 Republicans of the Ninth district. Thirty-one of these were Lee Republicans and four were on hand in the interest of other candidates who were provident enough to arrange for a prompt news service.
 Under the Republican system each district names but three delegates to the town and city convention. This caucus selected to constitute a dele gate ticket William H. Comley, jr., John Pistey, who is employed under Alderman C.. E. Primrose, by the Stone. This ticket was pledged to Mayor Lee, and MT. Cooney.. Thus Booth. who is also a candidate for town clerk, is left to fight his battle alone.
 Pistey is expected to attract part of the Slovenian vote, which is strong ly aligned behind w. R. Muirhead, who iss a candidate for alderman and not Lee man, and who just at pres ent is the strongest aldermanic prob ability. MT. Conley, who became the machine candidate for Senator against Moses W. Manwaring, for a few days only, last fall, and was forced out by the demand for Manwaring that came from the plain, or garden variety, of Republicans, will probably be the ma chine candidate for alderman if the chances of success look good.
 The Cooney-Lee combination is like ly, it is said, to prove perp1exing to Howard s. Challenger, member of the board of Education, who is a Lee man, but an arden partisan of Booth for town clerk and entirely against Coo- ney.
 If Booth chooses a delegation fa- vorable to himself and favorable at the same time to Lee, the Lee vote will be split between two factions, and assuming that the Morris men in the district have the judgment to enter ticket pledged to Morris and to him alone which they say they have, the Lee strength, riding two horses, would be helpless against the Morris vote upon one ticket. A nat ural outcome of the predicament in which the former town clerk finds himself would be an understanding with Muirhead and the Morris strength. In this event he would un- doubtedly be the tail to the kite, but the number. of tickets in the district would be reduced to two and the is- sue would be squarely drawn between Lee and> Morris, with Cooney and Booth as a side issue.
