ES €n oitical | Quigley Is Only Aspirant to Mayoralty Honor Who Has Made Definite An- nouncement—Interest in Council. The political ball which for some time past has been moving along slowly is rapidly gaining momentum and with the spring elections two months from this week candidates for | the various elective offices are bobbing up in every corner of the city. Intercst in Mayoralty Interest is bt course centered around the mayoralty contest. Both the democrats and the republicans claim to have an abundance of mayoralty timber although there seems to be a ! disposition on the part of the can- didates to remain under cover for the present, lix-Mayor George A. Quigley, a candidate for the repubiican nemina- tion, is the only man who has openly announced his candidacy. His hat was hurled into the ring several weeks ago. It is expected that several other an- nouncements would follow, particu- larly on the republican side, but fol- lowers of political movements were disappointed in this respect. Mr. Quig- |ley has appointed his campaign mana- ger and will shortly open separate headquarters for the male and female voters. Curtis is Silent Mayor Orson F. Curtis has not an- nounced whether or not he would seek re-election. To numerous queries cal- cnlated to bring a direct answer, the {mayor consistently replies that he is not a candidate--as yet. Mayor Curtis |refuses to enter a discussion on the mayoralty question, making it ex- |ceedingly difficult to learn, by infer- ence, what his feelings on the subject are. The following incident is taken in some circles as significant of a stand that has caused him to remain silent: Councilman Rice of the first ward, who has announced his candidacy to Dr. Howard always recommended OXIDAZE FOR COUGHS, COLDS Bronchial Asthma Years of study and obscrvation convinced him it would wafely, quickly and surely «top a bad cough and give instant relief in Bronehial Asthma.

In the event of an announcement by Alderman Paonessa that he will seek mayoralty honors a battle will he precipitated in the sixth ward, it is expected, with Councilman T. Frank McCormick and Michael King as the candidates. The {ormer has already announced that he is out for the al- derman's chair; the latter is quoted as being in a receptive mood for the job. McCormick's term expires in April. King has another year to serve as councilman on the present term. McKirdy Through Councilman Norman McKirdy, a representative of the fourth ward, will not be a candidate for re-election. He is a member of the claims and ordi- nance committees. The term which will expire next April is the first that he has served in the common council. Councilman Gardner Weld of the third ward does not expect to run again. He has not definitely decided to withdraw from the city's service, but in a statement for publication asserted that his name might not be found on the republican ticket in the spring.
