Attorney Earl Garlick Being Doomed For Aldermanic Nomination by Old
 Time Residents

There is a. big row among the first district Republicans over the nomina- tion for alderman. The contest be- tween John c. Chamberlain and Cliff ford B. Wilson for the mayoralty nomination has been overshadowed by the fierce struggle between the e two contestants for aldermanic honors.
 Attorney Earl E. Garlick and At torney Theodore Steiber are the two contenders. Garlick appears to- be leading in the fight just now. He has the support of the majority of the leaders. His friends point out that Attorney Garlick has lived in the dis trict all his life and that as the son of. Medical Examiner s. M. Garlick he would poll a large vote from old time residents.
 Attorney Steiber on the other hand is accused of being a carpet bagger. He is said to have resided in the dis trict only. a few months. He once ran for alderman in the Seventh dis trict but was badly beaten by the Democratic nominee.
