As To The Aldermen
And as regards aldermanic candi-
dates, there still is some question.
For time there were rumors and
counter rumors that there would be
fights in all four OF the city wards.
but. it appears that il there viii be
any contest al all. it will be con-
fined TO the third ward. Mayor Levy
who had been mentioned as an al
dermanic possibility there has stated
that he will not be a candidate.
The incumbent officials from that
ward are William L. McCready
and John Stevens. The latter is said
to be an ayowed candidate for re-elec-
ton. and MIR. McCready has announced
that he too. is willing to serve an
other term If it is the desire of his con-
stituents TO remain in the board. He
states, however, that he is averse to
making any contest for the seat.
Friends OF j. Garland Healy are urg-
ing him to be a candidate. Mr.. Healy
stated today he is undecided.
Taylor Ont OF 1t
In the second ward, John Wells, who
has served several terms is reported
as strongly in a receptive mood, but
John Taylor positively announced to-
day that in no event would he be a
candidate II have served one term,
he said, land feeling that l have made
clear record in the Office, / am per-
fectly satisfied to step down. There
is nothing definite as to who will be
the second candidate from that ward.
Smith And Parkinson
Down in the first ward, the field
seems to be open entirely to the two
seterans from that section. That
Charles w. Smith. desired reelection
has been generally understood, and
Elmer e. Parkinson, who has served
Is years in the municipal body, is sat
isfied to again be candidate, though
il is said, he does not care TO make a
primary fight. He said today that he
is willing to step aside in the event
there is anyone else who would like
to be candidate in his stead. Little
or no attention has been paid to bring
ing out candidates in the fourth ward
because the registered vote of that
hailiwick is about seven-eighths col
ored
q. q. II. Primaries Today
The Republicans of the city are
holding their primaries today. sThe
only fight they have on their hands
is that of control of the city execu-
tive committee. There are two sets
of delegates for committeeman in the
field one known as the "Organiza-
tion." backed. ii is said, by T. Roland
Brown and others, and the other sup
ported by Dr. Louis b. Henkel. Dr..
John Ridout and others. The indica-
tons are that the organization candi-
dates will be successful. The fight
among the delegates is being waged
principally in the third and fourth
wards, as the Organization forces, APP
parently have full sway in the first
and second wards, with the exception
of one vote in each ward for the OPP
position. A bitter fight is on in the
fourth ward. it is said. as an effort
is being made to displace John Rus
sell, who has served as Republican
alderman for. several terms. The col
ored voters, it is reported. have plan
ned to elect two of their race from
that ward. J. Albert Adams, colored.
is the other incumbent alderman from
the ward. but owing to his continued
i'll health, it is understood that he will
not be csadidate for reelection.
r. A. MunrOe For Alderman
The fact that the COP. primary
fight is chiefly for committeeman no
definite steps have been taken as to
fixing slate of aldermanic candidates
in the first. second and third wards.
One avowed Republican candidate.
however is Frank A. Munroe. of the
third ward.
