SPRING DRIVE IN
 THE FIFTH WARD
William Sik0Ea to Lead Democratic Battalior,s in Attempt to Win
 Republican Council Seat.
lmO0APoIIs. llnug.

William sikora has. been projected into tho political arena by the fifth ward democrats as one of their can- didates for councilman. Paul Nur- czak. unsuccessful candidate .of a year ago. who recently announced his intention of again seeking council honors, now gives notice of his with drawal in favor of MT. Sikora. The democrats in the fifth ward are said to be planning an energetic spring drive'' against republicans. The at- tack is to be launched particularly against Frank Partyka and John Ow- siak. republican councilmen, 1t is said. tMany of the democrats in the fifth ward are said to be particularly dis satisfied with the representation given hem by these two men who. although willing and faithful, seldom take an active part in council procedure and have earned for themselves the title of ''silent members" which cogno- men they share with several repre- scntatives from other wards.
 MT. Sikora lives at 250 Washing ton street and is one of the founders of the Fifth Ward Democratic club. His political manager is Paul Topa.
 OtS10E W0Iuo H0I tACo CUM Ses$ANS~ dates are girding on their armor, preparatory to getting into the po- litical fray. Gardner c. Weld. can didate for councilman from the third ward, has already secured large number of signatures to his primary retition and his friends are booming his candidacy. The situation regard ing the aldermanship Is still much unsettled. Councilman O. F. Curtis. mentioned as probable candidate. but who, 1t has been hinted, may not seek tho oflice because of his state departmental occupation, remains non-committAl. neither denying nor afilrming the report. This. conse- ouently, makes the position of Coun- cilman Charles Mueller somewhat om- .,barassing. MT. Mueller has been re- ported as willing to be Q candidate for alderman in case MT. Curtis de- clsned to run. William B. Wall seems assured of another term in the coun- ell without any campaigning on hts part. Kenneth Hoffman. who was first approached and asked to run stated that he is not in the race at all. This leaves MT. Weld with clear field for councilman thus far.

SUFFRAGE SYSTEM <, M IN GERMANY RAPED
Socialist Believes Reforms Should
 Be Instituted at Once

Berlin, Monday, March 1s, via London. March 20.-Philipp scheide- mann. socialist leader in the Reich stag. says in the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts:
 ''It does not require many words to explain why almost the whole world is arrayed against us. The answer Is given quickly. The whole world sees among our enemies nal aljdeveloped forms of democracy and in us 1t sees only Prussians. ,
 We always have arswered hy re- ferring to the .absolutism of Russia. but now czarism has gone and the emperor's successor Is to accept the throne only if the representatives of the people agree. These representa- tives are to be elected on the basis of universal. equal, direct and secret suffrage.
 Tn Asia the empire of. the man. darins opposed every reform. They desired an emperor with absolute power. as long as he did their will, and thereby undermined the mon archy and laid the foundation of a republic. In the European central empire similar spirits seek to build similar Chinese walls and hinder every reform.
 The clock shows five, minutes to twelve. They imagine thNy can hold up the time when they move back tho hands to eleven.
 Procaastina&ing O,anccllor.
 ''Why does the chancellor shrink back now from unconditional necAs- sity? Always the hesitator. the pro- crastinator, Bethmann-F1ollweg wants to begin to cure Prussia of the war. Russia also promised all reforms aft CT the war; but the war lasted too long for the Russians. Why postpone till tomorrow what is absolutely nec- essary today. what even the king him. self declared years ago was ono of the most urgent matters of the husi- ness of the state? Now is the time for decisive action. The difficulties which might arise If the government adopts the Reichstag system of cleo tions for Prussian elections are as a feather weight as compared with the difficulties which, will come if 1t does not do this. The chancellor should not delay one day. The Prussian people, as we'll as the other German states. will stand as one man at his side if he acts decisively."
