CALVIN NAMED
BY DEMOCRATS
Seaman and Satter Quit Race
for Democratic Alderman
at-large
MOVE IS BIG SURPRISE
Many Interesting Contests
Last Day Yesterday to File
City Office Petitions
MOVE is BIG SURPRISE

The Democrats of the city sprung
an eleventh hour surprise yesterday
when Ralph A. Seaman and Victor
Satter. the two primary candidates
for alderman-at- large, suddenly
dropped from the race in favor of
Richard A. Calvin. 1t was generally
believed that the Democrats were
endeavoring to get together on one
candidate but the name of Mr.. Gal
vim. was never connected with the
various rumors going about the city
as to the possible selection. The
Democratic candidate for alderman
ht-large ran for alderman of the
third ward several years ago but was
defeated by f. William Hilker.
Neither the Democratic candidate
nor the Republican choice, Alder
man-at-large John N. Wester, who
seeks reelection, have any opposition
at this years primaries.
Although there is no primary
contest for alderman-at-large there
will be several hot fights in the city
for aldermanic nominations. In the
second ward both parties have two
candidates, in the fourth ward the
Republicans have two and the DEM
ocrats four, while in the sixth ward
the Democrats have four more con-
testants with Republican Alder
man Benjamin A. Riedy unopposed.
Last Day For Petitions
Yesterday was the last day for
city petitions, all of them being filed
with City Clerk Arthur E. Graham
by o'clock last night. In addition
to the aldermanic candidates. petit
tions were filed by five excise COM
mission candidates, one constable
and a large number of county COM
mitteemen. The Democrats also filed
city committee petitions.

promised for the second ward this
year. Alderman Albert G. Waters,

lican contestants.
