SHWEDES VS, GERHANS * ITHESECOND WD Jealousy Exists Between Yolers of * Bolh Nationalites. EICHSTAEDT - DANBERG ~ CONTEST Both Candidates Confident of Victory and Caucus Monday Will Be Live- ly—No Opposition ‘!o Jester and Teich. 3 Even at this time, when it seems that the attention of the entire local political world is centered on the developments in the big republican mayoralty contest, voters in the second ward are forced to a realiza- tion of the fact that there is a fight 4on right among them which gives promise of being a scorcher. Con- siderable speculation i rife as to the outcome while the candidates are busy canvassing in every corner that not a single vote be lost. Present indicgtions are that the matter of nominating a successor te Councilman Berger M. Hillstrand is .to be the “big noise” in this impor- tant district of the city. A, F. Eich- staedt of Cherry street and Lawyer Emil Danberg of Whiting street are the only men who have announced themselves candidates for the posi- tion and they will fight the duel “riends of both are leaving no stones unturned in their campaigns for votes. Swedes vs. Germans. Every year sees a lively contest in | the second ward and it seems thar new features are introduced into ev- ¢ry campaign. The present year is no exception and the element which ia now coming to the front is a contest, not between' the individual candidates but between the Swedish' and Ger- man contingents of the district. The state of affairs is but the cul- ination of a feeling of jealousy which has been in the process of cul. tivation for the past several years. It has now come to a head and will be fought to a finish in the caucus at Lithuanian hall on Park = streat ext Monday night. A new precedent was established some time ago when two Swedish councilmen were elected, and voters of this nationality have endeavore: to maintain it since. Circumstances have now: reached the point where hey deem it absolutely essential that they have two representatives in tht common council. V Germans Follow Suit. Whether or not the policy of the sons of Scandinavia is or is not the duse cannot be known, but the Ger- ians have also developed the senti- ment, and at the rate the feeling Is now running it is only too evident that conditions will not be as serene as of yore until the board of four councilmen is made up of two men of each nationality. It will then be a toss-up for the aldermah honors, vhich have been distributed quite evenly during the past decade or more. Bringing the conditions up to the present day, it may be seen that there are two Germans and two Swedes in the race, A. F. Eichstaedt and Ernest . Telch for the former, and Emil Danberg for the latter, who will also p represented for one more year by ho Johnson, It happens, however, that none 't the candidates are in favor of the ated procedure and will run, not ‘ Uneeda Biscuit Nourishment—fine fla- vor—purity—crispness —wholesomeness.

Mr. Eichstaedt = while speaking to a Herald man last even- ing. “I believe that a man who is going into the race should have been a resident here for some time and should be thoroughly acquainted with municipal affairs, which I consider myself to be. It is my firm belief that, to be a successful councilman, a man should own property and be a taxpayer in the city for the interests of which he helps to look after. I hope that the Swedish people of the ward will vote as Americans. I can- not understand why they have a right to claim two representatives, for this is not a Swedish ward. Al- though my nationality happens to be German, I shall go into the contest as an American and, if elected, will surely represent the Swedish popu- lation as faithfully as that of any other nationality. After careful de- Ilberation on these facts, I will ask the voters to use their own good judgment in casting their ballots.” When reminded that his running mate, Ernest L. Teich, was also a German, Mr. Eichstaedt stated that this circumstance existed simply as & coincidence. It is not a “frame-up.” ‘Would Improve Ellis Street. It appointed, Mr. Eichstaedt says he would try to have Ellis street, from, Maple to Stanley streets, im- proved. This is the only road in the southeastern section of the city which does not have a grade cross- ing over the rallroad tracks and, if improved, would make a good high- way by which vehicles from the east- | ern part of the state could enter the city with perfect safety. The road leading over the “Willow bridge” is| now in wretched condition. i ‘Was President, of School Association. Besides having served as the first president of the United Parents’ and Teachers’ association, Mr. Eichstaedt | served also in a similar capaeity for | the Northend School association, of | which he is at present the vice presi- dent. He is also connected with the United Parents’ and Teachers' asso- | clation at this time, Danberg Popular in Ward. Emil Danberg, though but twenty- five years old, is a very thorough young man angd is fast gaining a rep- utation for himself as an accom- plished lawyer. He was brought up in this city and attended the local schools, In 1910 he received the B. A. degree from Upsala academy and in June of last year he graduated from the Yale Law school with the L. L. B. degree. Besides being a member of the board of trustees of the Swedish Lutheran church, he is the president of the Connecticut State Luther League association. i If elected, Mr. Danberg says, he ; will work for better police protection in the ward, which has been some- what neglected in this respect of late. He will also take up the mat- ter of improved lighting, as some of the streets in his district are very poorly illuminated at present. .He states that he has also noticed sev- eral other conditions which need im- mediate attention. I will, of course, do all in my power to give the tax- payers of the ward a good, square, business-like representation,” he as- serted today. Jester For Alderman. Thus far M. Irving Jester is the only candidate for alderman. It seems that both he and Mr. Teich will be elected without opposition. Uno Johnson’s and Arthur N. Ruther- ford's terms expire next year. { | | | BOXER PASSHES AWAY.
