G. Johnson jwas re-elected. In the Fourth, Oust O. Peterson was re-elected. The election of president is a bone vof contention on the Common Council.

The president has the appointment of all committees and in- the Absence or inability of the tMayor to act, is the acting mayor of, the city, it is regarded as an important and dignified and sometimes is the of considerable- squabbling. 7 Peter who represents the Sixth Ward, was elected last year. He will, it is assumed, be candidate for In all probability he will have opposition. i Hertry A. Hotchkiss and Christian Nielsen are about the only aldermen who can hope to succeed Mr.

Schenck, although in the event or a close-fight, it is possible that A. G. Johnson might be taken as a compromise candidate. The; election is ylva voce, 7 clerk calls. the' roll, of aldermen and each man in respdnse to.

his name announces name of the candidate for whom he to vote. It requires a majority vote of the 12 aldermen to elect. That means that the man who 1 is elected president, must have "six votes besides his own. The aldermen as a rule have, been a little, but several years ago Martin L. Fenton, who was anxious to be president, established a precedent by voting- for- Others have followed his example and it' Is therefore safe to assume that in close -oontest.

the candidates will follow- this precedent, 71 -1 Mayor who has won after a contested election, is swamped with applications for the positions, which he has to bestow. Have Got to i For some unexplainable reason the office of superintendent of streets is regarded as a particularly choice plum and candidates for this position are always, thicker than' blackberries. As a matter of fact it is the most undesirable position in the city, 7 because the person holding is the political goat for the entire Board jof Aldermen. Jamestown is a hilly, town and large sums are spent every, year on street work. The aldermen-always exceed the amount appropriated by the annual budget and at -that do not have as much work done as is ordered.

The individual alderman is always ready to introduce -a resolution to money ori; street work in response to the request of a and every other alderman is always willing to vote for the resolution because he has a few similar ones. as a consequence the council proceedings are filled with orders to fix this and that street the aldermen have passed merely fo political purposes. When their constituents complain they show the resolution and say it is tne fault of the street superintendent that the work is not done. In the course of a few years the street superintendent is the most unpopular man in Jamestown. Evory candidate In his secret, heart believes that he is-a smooth enough politician to-satisfy th arcermen and the people generally.

He was accustomed to the management of workmen and there seemed no reason why he should not be an Ideal official. 7 Under Mr.

Lee's supervision hundreds of -thousands of dollars' worth of work has been done and done well, yet others ambitious to fill his place realize that his failure to do hundreds of thousands' of dollars' worth of work which the aldermen ordered and never expected to have done, has made him unpopular with the people, and they have their campaigns started to succeed him. Among those who are candidates are former- Aldermen William Lydla, Julius E. Roberts, Hans Jorgensen, and Frank W. Swanson. Alderman Christian Nielsen has also been men tioned; to the mayor' as a desirable candidate.

Henry Hanson and Rob ert 'Swanson are other" candidates mentioned. Other Positions. For of corporation counsel in addition to Arthur W. Kettle, the present official, George W. L.

On the other hand some of the Jead-ing clergymen of the city have visited the, mayor and asked him to retain Chief Johnson, who has served a the- head of the department for approximately 20 rears, without a single criticism of his record as Chief.

Loudon was arrested "this morning and immediately taken before the magistrate.

Later he was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. His defense is a letter received from a patent attorney, which is a long and involved document, which states that: Loudon will receive his but it does not state that the patent had been granted. It was brought out in the hearing In police court that the notes had 1 been presented to a local bank for, discount, but that owing to the fact that i Mrs. Lafflin did no have that amount of ready cash in the bank, they-were not negotiated, as in order to collect on them.
