nal is that there will be no active can didacy among the women for positions on any of the principal ballots. The Bisbee women want D see the city run well, they want the law enforced they desire everything that a city gov ernment ought to have, but they do not feel that it is yet time to enter the maelstrom themselves. prefering to exert their influences from the outside upon prospective candidates and par ties.
 So, look out for the womenl The big. black and brown (inferring color of hide only) Elephant, with the brand (registered) G. O. F. on the left hip, has been much in evidence. His | left side. and his right side, the ribs of both of which were slightly caved in couple of years ago, appears in better fighting trim. He has been feeding on national oats, for months and is getting ready for the fray of his life. It would appear that the contest in the city this spring will be in the nature of good workout, preparatory for the main bout next fall. On the other side of the fence is to be witnessed the Moose. It's a spec tacle to behold. The animal is slight ly emaciated, but still in the ring. He can't do much himself but, if left in the cold, can do lot of damage to the interest and the pet feeding ground of the Elephant.
 The fence, however, separating the two pastures, has been slowly cut down and, it is rumored, the animals are on speaking terms. When no one is very probable that the first real con ciliation between the two ex-enemies will be seen in the spring campaing. After all, though strangely different in limb and looks, they are yet chips off the same block and will fill the same woodbox.
 All of which presages some real op- position to the Democrats who are not anticipating actual resistance. The Democrats it would appear from all surface indications, are looking to all the trouble within their own party. Of course they realize that there are few Republicans who have strong per sonal followings and who would run well whether the Progressives were at odds with the Stand Pats or not. On the whole, however, as the situation is now to be seen. it would be a req sonable prediction to state that the Republicans and Progressives will be together, once again, and will give the Democrats the hardest fight for every office since the last Republican coun- cil held office.
 Charles Cunningham, present Demo cratic alderman from Ward Number 1, is being groomed by his friends to take the lead for that party. Charlie Gun ningham declares he doesn't want the job But Mir Cunningham is human and if. rendered the nomination will, in the opinion of his friends, accept. And, moreover, he will run and run well.
 w w Gidley, from all obtainable gossip, is the present Republican choice for mayor. It is said he fiatly refuses to accept nomination. If this is so there will be some tall stalking for a candidate and 10 game is in sight at the present moment. For clerk, the present incumbent, M. L. Butler, is an avowed candidate. He will have no opposition in the Re publican primaries.
 In Democratic ranks, however, the tune is different and a considerable delegation will try out their bistronic abilities before March 2S.
 The choice of Ward Number is Frank Walsh. William Tomlinson, who was the opponent of M. l.. Butler two years ago.Nis out for the office. It is rumored that these two will not be alone in the race.
 For the nomination of superinten- dent of streets the Democratic prima- " will have several candidates. A. E. Shepherd, last elections Democratic candidate, has announced himself.A c. H. Bailey is said to be in receptive mood and being urged to make the race by many of his friends. Nels Okerstrom is also mentioned in con nection with the office.
 Lorenzo Wright, for reasons of his own, in all probability will not run on the Republican ticket for the office , this year. He has bigger game afoot. Dick Rundle and Billie Graham ara mentioned as aspirants in the Repub- lican column.
 The big question is whether James Allison will have any opposition and who the Republicans will offer as his opponent in the final election. Most of the political soothsayers declare Allison will win. at the primaries, in a walk It is improbable that he will have any opposition for the nomina- tion.
