The "antis" are sure that Eden Small
will defeat Dr. c. #. Kuhn in the
Third ward, and that Scott Hunter in
the Fifth ward, and George l.. Earle,
In the Fourth. will both be nominate
ed. Anthony J. Kloka, anti-Martin-
dale candidate on the Republican
ticket In the Seventh ward, has no op-
position for the nomination In the
Seventeenth ward, the "antis" have
strong hopes of nominating Edward
T. Nichols, In spite of the fact that HE
opponent, Albert G. Kunz, IL making
q strong run.
Kunz workers were out In forco
from the opening of the polls and
were busy In his behalf all day. They
declared that he would swamp

There are 400 voters enrolled IN
this precinct" said q Martindale
worker at the booth In the Seventh
precinct OF the Seventeenth ward,
Jefferson and Hamilton-aves.. to The
Times, Tuesday noon, "and Kuntx will
get two-thirds OF the vote. We want
Kunz, because We know that we can
get something through him for the
ward. We want a new school, and
we stand a much better chance OF
getting II through Kunz than through
Nichols, who Is an anti-Martindale
man. Our children now have to 60

away, for manual training, there be-
ing no department Of chat kind In the

first precinct, Sheridan and st. Paul
aves., was supporting him, too.
| In the Seventeenth ward, Arthur
w. Fitzpatrick was going along well
for the Republican nomination Of POI
lice justice. In fact, he seemed to be
strong throughout the extreme east
side, particularly In the district where
the Detroit Stove Co.'S plant is To-
Gated.

In the Detroit Stove works." said one
OF his workers around the booth In

He used to live in this district, too,
and that will help him.
| In the Thirteenth and Fifteenth
wards there Is no school inspector
contest and the voters interest ceu-
tiers largely In the nomination for po-
lice justice.
Sellers Has Many Backers.
In the Ninth and Eleventh wards,
Albert r. Sellers, apparently had
many hackers. A very light vote,
however, Is being polled In these
wards, judging from the balloting up
to noon. In the first district OF the
Ninth ward there were only "a votes
cast, while but IL were registered In
the first precinct Of the Eleventh
ward.
Sellers was also found to have some
strength In the Seventh ward. Yet IN
this ward more interest was shown In
the fight for the Democratic nomina-
ton OF school inspector. James M.
Jeffries and Theodore j. Delor are
the rivals, with strength, apparently,
about even.

will take place in the coming election.
