"We Will Finish the lob Next
Year." Iubilant Republicans
Slogan While Parading
Around the City Last Night.

With the conclusion of their cleo
tion celebration last night Republi-
cans of the city began activity for
gaming control of the Board of AL
dermen next year. Chris Anderson,
who lost to Alderman John kutcher
by but four votes last year, was
again doomed as the fourth ward al
dermanic candidate for 1915, and it
was stated that the G. o. p. follow
ers would do their utmost for his
nomination and election next year.
Likewise will then endeavor to elect
Republicans as aldermen in the Sec
ond and sixth wards. They con-
clude that If they can but win as
well as they did this year, they will
gain majority In the council
In addition to being compelled to
strive to fill the places that will be
vacated by three of their members
on the board, the Democrats will
also have to fight to land man In
the alderman at large chair. This
gives the Republicans q still better
opportunity. The election of any
| one of their aldermanic candidates
would increase their standing from
| two to three out of the seven mem
bers, while the election of two or
more would give them control of the
council.
They will have the advantage over
the Democrats in view of the fact
that the terms OF three Democratic
aldermen will expire simultaneously.
| They are the terms of Aldermen
John Kelly, John Kutcher and Chris
Jorgensen, from the second, fourth
and sixth wards, respectively. I'VE
