| Bourdeau for Collector.
| Leon N. Bourdeau, who has been dis
cussed in connection with the demo
cratic nomination for township collec-
didate, and his name will be present
ed before the party convention at Tur-
ner hall Wednesday evening. Mr.. Bour-
deau for years was painting contrac-
tor in the city. Some months ago,
while supervising job at the Wilmer
ton farm near Presumption, the house
was wrecked by a gasoline explosion.
Mr.. Bourdeau was one Of the victims,
and was made a cripple for life. He
is incapacitated for the work he had
so long followed, and his friends will
be glad OF the opportunity to give him
the collectorship.
Republicans Have Contests.
At the republican primaries, in
addition to the aldermanic selec-
tions, there were nominations Of
candidates for township Offices, the
latter to be confirmed at the con-
vention set for this evening at Tur-
ner hall. In the Fourth ward the
disposition of the republican rank
and file was to compliment Alderman
Thompson, who has made such a
creditable record by a nonpartisan
Endorsement and to name no opponent,
but DR.. De Silva, the county boss,
would not allow such thing to hap
pen right in his own ward, which he
is particularly anxious to control.
Worth does not count with the doc
tor where there is a political ak to
grind. In the Seventh ward Leaf
received 112 votes to So for Ralph
o. Ellinwood in the race for the al
dermanic nomination. ]. P. Drom-
goole won the collectorship nomina-
ton over Edwin A. Brashar by a
vote of 227 to 219. L. c. Pfoh was
nominated for supervisor, John F.
