in the fifth except that he has not always listened 10 the advice of those who would like to have some thing to say about appointment to office. They have sometimes been consulted but frequently their sug- gestions have not been acceptable. On this account, they feel sighted and they are working earnestly to build up opposition which will cut the plurality of two years ago down 10 q lower figure. They do not hope to wipe it out entirely but they are confident that they can reduce it appreciably. Whether they can or not is another story, the last chapter of which will not be written until the vote is counted. It is q fact that advisors who have not been taken seriously are always confident of their ability to overturn the adminis- tration. They are seldom successful 1 Regardless of what the result will be, the democrats will probably find more opposition in the fifth ward than they did two years ago, It is reported that they are aware of the situation and are taking steps to counteract the propaganda which Mayor Paonessa's enemies are spreading. expecting that they will be able to ward off any attack which threatens 10 become serious,
 The democratic party was first 10 bring its guns into action this year, Already a number of public meet ings have been held and the en- thusiasm shown is said to be satis- factory to the leaders. Active Wom- an members of the party have or ! ganized for the coming fray. They were an important factor in Mayor Paoncssa's victory two years ago and indications are that they will work as industriously this spring,
 Although formal announcement fthat George A. Quiglcy would be a candidate for the republican nomin- I"tIon for mayor came from Chair man William H. Judd of the re- publican town committee, it would lbe difficult to believe that Judd was oyerioyed with his assignment. As q matter Of party duty, ho could not very well refuse the request of Quigley to inform the public of the Irx-mayor's decision to take another fling at the highest office in the city. There never has been any Icffrlgent love shown between the faction of the party which Judd represents and that which reco9- nizcs Quiglcy as its leader. In fact hardly anything could be more dis agreeable to Judd than to make tho announcement that Quisley was once more in the field,
 Republican chiefs arc said 10 have been hoping against hope that Quiglcy would not run, Those who have been close to him have realized that formal announcement of his candidacy was only q matter Of time. Just what prccipitattd his declaration is not known. It will be recalled that Quiglcy stated some time ago that he was interested in whom the republican leaders would choose for state central committed man. He wanted to be consulted, or at least considered. It is possible that the machines strategy in not naming anyone for the position may havo accelerated Quigley. i It was pointed out in this cou9 week ago that the organizat~ forces might not choose anyone to succeed the late Judge IIlett on the state committee, thereby putting QulFlPy in q hole. f1gurativrly speaking. Whether this attitude hy the organ- .ization helped Quiglcy to make up his mind cannot be said by the Ob- server, who is not in the confidence of either the organization or Quiz Icy.
 E,x-Mayor Quiglcy's announce mcnt that he will seek the party nomination for mayor will at least serve to clear the atmosphere. He is the first to declare himself q candidate. All other aspirants must measure the possibility of their winning at the primaries against his strength. This, no doubt, will be sufficient to keep several who haVc been mentioned, in retirement, Ii q strong man is brought out by the organization and defeats Quigley, II vii strengthen the democratic can .didate's position. If another rcpuh- ''lcan candidate Is defeated by Quig- Hey the result will be the samr The strongest play of the republican machine would be to get behind Qmgley but it would bo a bitter tpill for the leaders 10 swallow bo- cause it Is a question whether they dislike Quiglcy more than Paonessa or Paonessa more than Quigley.
 For years Quigley has been q sharp oyster shell in the path of q barefooted c. o. r. He has draWr blood several times and it is hard for the organization bosses to for. give him even for the sake of win. ming a victory. IT the G. O. r. do": give it's whole hearted support tC QuigIcy, his victory would result ir reorganization of inc party. \ winning candidate is the nominal liquor was full of dope"
