Local Democratic leaders con
tlnue TO maintain silence upon The
subject of appointments to the "a
rlous municipal positions which VIII
pc vacated by Repub bIican incuu-
oents on the last day of this year
put a few words slipping outs here
and there would indicate that fher
nave made UP their minds aysa
agreed as to who should be named
Tor certain jobs.
Tfere seems to be little doubt that
David Wilentz will be made the next
CITY attorney. The names of other
local Democratic attorneys have
Deen mentioned, but an agreement
is understood to have been reached
whereby Wilentz is the choice. Dur
ing the: recent campaign Wilentz
was vigorous worker for the Dem
ocrats, being regarded as one Of
former Senator Thomas Browns
best 'heutenants." The outcome
of the election was generalIv re
garded as a victory for the Brown
forces over those headed by County
Clerk B. M. Cannon and as a result
the Brown adherents can be expect
ed to be given the preference in fhe
handing out OF the local political
''plums.'
Although former Mayor Frank
Dorsey seems to be a slight favoritc
for the position of city treasurer
it is known that both John j. Kelly
and James Rhodes are being con-
sidered for this office. Kelly is a
former alderman and at present a.
water commissioner. Rhodes is Z
former city comptroller.
The Democrat have no one se-
lected for the Office of Comptroller.
as yet, as far as can be learned, nor
has any decision been reached as to
who the next city clerk Will be.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger is
known to have written his resigna-
tton last week and presented to City
Clerk Arthur Graham for the pu--
pose of having it come before the
aldermen at their meeting last night
but changing his mind with refer
ence to his action, later withdrew the
resignation. Word of his action IN
submitting his resignation reached
the aldermen and it is understood
that had he left it with the city clerk
and it was read last night, the Demo-
cratic board would have at once
named Attorney Wilentz as his sue
cessor.
The position of city engineer must

pointed to Louis p. Booz, Jr., being
named to this office a few weeks
ago, it now appears as though Alvin
8. Fox, former county engineer and
member of the firm of Larson &
Fox, has a slight margin on Booz.
Owing to the fact that Booz was
candidate for freeholder last year
ran for committeeman in the second
ward at the primaries this year
against John White, has been an ac-
tive Democratic worker and was
engaged by the present Democrats
Board of Aldermen to work on the
grade crossing elimination plan. il
was generally expected he would be
the choice for city engineer. A diff
ference of mind has apparently
taken place, If reports from reliable
sources are to be believed, and Fox
now seems to be the favorite.
Jay B. FRANKIE, it is generally un
derstood, will be retained as city
electrician. The names of DIR. MI. f.
UrbanslSi and DR.. Edward Klein
have been mentioned as possible se-
lections for the Office of city Dhysi-i
clan.
Considerable interest is being
shown in the position of street com
missioner. some maintaining that
Adam Jeanette will be promoted
from assistant street Commissioner
to the higher office while others be-
heve Hugh Gallagher will be select
ed for the position.
The Democrats Will also be e1t1~|
powered to name several new N ent-
bers on the various city boards but
no intimation has been fortbco1ti{nr
as yet indicating whom these new
members might be.
