DEMOCRATS PLAN
COMING Campaign
Alderman -at-Large Weaver a
Candidate for Reflection
Also Kelly and Jorgensen.

Preliminary plans for the Demo-
cratic fall campaign were mapped
out at political discussion among
the most prominent Democrats in the
city at q conference held in city hall
last night Those who participated
refused to say much about the con-
ference when seen today and as 8
result little could be learned. The
reason for this was set forth in a re-
ply given by one of the leaders, when
he declared 1t would be unwise for
the Democrats to say much at this
time and thereby show their hands
to their opponents. 1t is generally
understood and Alderman-at-Large
w. Guy Weaver admitted today that
he is figured upon to be the Demo
cratic candidate for reelection in the
fall Likewise is it the plan of the
Democrats to endeavor to re-elect
Alderman John w. Kelly in the Sec
ond ward and Alderman Chris Jor-
gensen in the sixth ward. The
fourth ward candidacy is said to lie
between August Kroeger, Henry Toft
and Alderman John Kutcher. Re-
ports thus far have indicated that Mr..
Kutcher would not run again, but
leading Democrats indicated that
there was no certainty about this.
Leaders at Conference.
County and city leaders, Democra-
