ddate for mayor at the expiration of the Gill term and
under the charter he would not be eligible should he
be one of the favored ones but if he will turn what
strength he to the seven names mentioned
herein he will be given the support of the combna-
ton for mayor one year later
Discussing the individual chances of the various
would be councilmen the following can be said: James
Conway would perhaps get fewer votes outside the
combination than any of the others. Not because he
is any worse better, but simply because he halls
from the First ward He however, would get every
liberal vote in the city Joseph Schumpf of the Third
ward outside of the combination would show up quite
strong he would get the most of the German votes
of the other words and he stands well among the out
door sportsmen and the business He would run
we'll and with the united effort of the combination he
would prove very strong candidate Without the
combination mentioned above Schlumpf would not
be strong and would stand no show of election.
but with the combination in full force and effect ne
would be almost certain of winning. Fred Sawyer
if considered very weak man by even members OF
the combination, because they do believe it will be
possible to hold the combination together on him. He
will not be able to command any outside strength and
is is figured by the combination that he is OF the
seven that in all probability will be lost Henry Beck
of the Fifth Ward will get every vote in the combina
ton and few scattering votes in the other wards 1t
would be impossible for Murphy, Mullen or Schlumpf
to do very much for Beck in their wards, and he is
another the combination figures it is than likely
to lose. Any other from the Fifth ward that
would bo suitable to the combination would receive the
same treatment IN the residence ward as Beck. Arm
old Zbnden of the Sixth would get every vote in the
combination and he believes he will be able to COM
mand many in the other wards any other
member of the combination, and for that feels
absolutely certain of election. Frank P. Mullen is
perhaps the very strongest of the combination and
bo6 ho in hn iC
classed with the liberal element he some times does
things that make them set up and take notice and
shake their heads. 1t is very questionable whether
or not Mullen would make any efforts to deliver to the
combination though the presumption is if elected he
would lean to that side of the house legislation.
He is strong in every ward in the city and is almost
of election whether favored by the combination
not
With the liberal element lining up for ticket of
seven as reported herein if the reform elements of
the city expects to beat them by sitting idly by and
doing pulpit politics they the elected now.
While the women will vote, yet it will be novelty to
them and not many of them will turn out at the first
election and then the most of them that do turn out
will be guided for the most part by their husbands.
They must be educated to taking active interest
in campaigns and elections which will be done by the
leaders and by those who will cater for their
votes from time to time. There, however, has been
so much said and done in the Gill recall that the
en- by the time the spring election rolls round may be
worked up to the point to get out and make open
fight for their ideas and not give whoop in Hades
what their husbands think as to their actions.
Another move on the part of the liberal element
will be to get many reform candidates in the field
as possible Take ward where strong reformer re-
sides like Max Warda the liberals will strive to get
as many reform candidates out from that ward pos
sble and such liberals located therein will
ect some of them, perhaps Wardall himself, and
support him with vengeance By those methods the
reform vote will get badly scattered and after the cleo
ton it will wake up to find that it has accomplished
little or nothing in the fight The liberals also pro-
pose to caoe as many prominent business men as pos
