in the last three days. May
or Mitchell. as predicted week ago, will |
be unopposed for reelection. while Al |
herman Pitkin seems to be headed for a /
re election to serve the rest of the term |
IN ward |. There bids fair to be a fight |
in ward and ward 6, while Alderman
Ryan, after persistent asking, has con-
;ented to accept denomination. In
ward A Alderman Galleher refused TO run
until it looked as though no one was i'll
he field and until many had asked him
o do so: but apparently he is not to
ave it his own way, for G. H. Almon
las announced himself for the honor,
while in ward 6 there are three candi-
ates, A. w Prescott, Carl Dudley and
.ouis Jerue. The ward caucuses are to
Re held Wednesday evening.
