DEMOCRATS GATHER
MONDAY TO SELECT
WARD DELEGATES
ity Convention Thursday to
Z Nominate Full City
Ticket.
"A HOT FIGHT EXPECTED
fractional Bitterness Probable
Despite Leaders Assur-
ance of Harmony.

The Democratic ward meetings
Monday night, held for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the nominating
convention Thursday night, promise to
be of more than passing interest.
There will be a lively scramble for
delegates at these meetings by the
supporters of the three avowed can
didates for the mayoralty nomination,
Charles Marlatt, A. A. Mumbower and
Henry Farwig, and the old factional
bitterness promises to crop out. The
Schillinger-KroneSt Study faction is be-
hind the candidacy of Mumbower,
while the PriceKelly faction is re-
sponsible for the candidacy of Charles
Marlatt
Leading Democrats insist that har-
mony reigns within the ranks of the
party, but peep behind the political
scenery shows that the breach caused
at that historic nominating convention
several years ago, when DR.. Schillin-
ger was nominated for mayor over
John Bayer, has never been closed
Evidence Of this was given only a year
ago, when the fight over the postmas-
tership ragged, adding many grey hairs
to the head of Congressman Gray.
Farwig a Free Lance.
Farwig has entered the mayoralty
contest as a free lance and he says he
will give his opponents a lively fight
for the decision.
Jacob Lichtelfels, who several times
has announced he would refuse the
mayoralty nomination, is still being
talked of
Candidates for Clerk
Three men are being spoken of for
the nomination as city clerk, but
are Isaac T. Burns Joseph Waterman
and Will Klute. One of these men
will undoubtedly be nominated.
Candidates for council are exceed
ingly scarce, only two having been an
nounced to date, James Porter, from
the Fifth ward, and Walker Land, from
the Third ward. Booms for other coun-
cilmanic candidates, however, will be
LAUGHED at the ward meetings Monday
night --..-,
