North Wards May Try For Reelec-
ton This Year-PeopIe OF South Side
of City S en- to Take Little Interest.

The political waters are being agl-
tated in the north wards of the city
and while it is still two months before
the primary election will be held the
people of the north wards are getting
all excited owe rthe coming political
battle and there promises to be more
candidates for aldermen in theso
wards than have been known n 'lauy
years. This activity is not CONTACT
Gus and in the south wards IT tho city
absolutely no interest is being taken
in politics as yet and not & single nan
has come into the field for any Office.
The north siders seem to take kind
Iy to the non-partisan idea and it is
certain that there will be long line
of candidates in all Of the north wards.
Alderman Saftig, Alderman Stemm and
Alderman Werner are all assured OPP
position at the primaries and at the
election. In the sixth ward Alderman
Stemm has announced that he will be
a candidate for reelection and it is
declared that former Alderman George
r. Wade is lining up his political
friends and that he will be in the
race. The former alderman declares
that he has not as yet fully made up
his mind and that he may not decide
to go into the fight. Frank Hams,
who twice ran for the Office and who
came very close to being elected on
both occasions, is said to be in train
ing for third run for office.
In the seventh ward where it is ex-
peeted that Alderman Werner will be
a candidate for reelection, several
candidates have been suggested. 1t is
said that William j. Threinen, form
erly president of the board or educa-
tion and leader among the demo-
Gratis Of the ward, will be candidate
for alderman this year and retire from
the school board. John Joachim is al
so said to be a candidate for the
nomination for alderman. In the
eighth ward there is lot of politics.
Charles Steinoach and former Alder
man John Wade are both declared to
be looking for the seat in the council
now held by Alderman Jacob Saftig.
In the south wards the aldermanic
candidates are keeping well under COW
er. 1t is expected that Alderman E.
j. Sullivan will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself, he having been elected
less than year ago to serve the I'M
expired term of the late James
III. O'Brien. Alderman Joseph G..
Rhode Of the second ward, has declar-
ed that he will not be a candidate for
reelection, but some Of his friends
have declared that they will take out
petitions for him and a strong effort
will be made to force him to make
the race. It is not thought that there
would be any opposition to the re-
election of Alderman Rhode. He has
been a leader on the council and is
regarded as very valuable man to
the city. In the third ward Alderman
Thomey will be a candidate for re-
election. In the fourth ward it is said
that Alderman Starr will not seek re-
election on account Of the fact that
his work is so exalting that he is not
able to give his time for council SEES
slons and committee work. He has
not been able to attend all of the SEES
slo1ls of the council this year. In the
fifth ward the term of Alderman Con-
forti will expire and he has as vet
made 20 announcement that he will
seek reelection. It has been limited
that former Mayor scholey might seek
the Office of alderman in the fifth ward
but this is not regarded as authori.
tative.
Petitions may be circulated starting
today, but as yet the city clerk has
not received the new form Of petitions
to be used and the candidates will
have to content themselves with gum
shoe campaign until after the first Of
the month when the supply of the new
