Mr, Hall is sccretary of Landers, Frary & Clark and is a busy man. He feels that he cannot spare time for the office of mayor and is frank enough to say so. It has been whispered along the |street that Mr, Hall could have the jromination if he would gay the word, He would make a good executive, the Observer beliéves, because he is of |conservative temperament, is familiay | with ecity business, is an accountant, | has a level head and is a man of high {honor. This should not bé taken as cisparagement of Mayor Paonessa but is simply an attempt to analyze the best man yet mentioned for the re- publican nomination. Alderman William H. Judd declares | that he has given no thought to being a candidate for the nomination. This |may be true, but others have con- |sidered the subject. It has been ru- mored that the “machine” intends to ‘r.n.mu Alderman Judd, if it can do so, and his assertion candidate will not suffice to still the tongues of tliose whose thoughts turn to polities. Mr, Judd is recognized as the spokesman for the “macltine” in the common council. He is not wide- 1y known because he has been in poli- tics for only a brief period and it is doubtful whether he could defeat Mayor Paonessa, if the latter received the ‘democratic nomination. Alderman John F. Gill is said to have a large following although he has made no declaration concerning his intentions or ambitions. Whether |ne would be acceptable to the *bosses” is a problem which must be considered. During his incumbency, Alderman Gill has been of independ. ent mind and voice, When he thought the men higher up needed to be criticized he did not hesitate to speak what was on his mind. Some of his speeches have been features of the council meetings, His barbs sank deep into the hide of the leaders in the republican party and it was claim- ed that he had forfeited his chance to promotion by his caustic state- ments, Perhaps Alderman Gill would stand in a stronger position with the public because of his attitude toward the “machine,” which, it is said, is fast losing favor with the rank and {file of the republican hrethren, | ‘e 1t was an interesting address given at the Rotary club luncheon last Thursday by Byron Newton ,of the were many things Mr, Newton did not tell, It is true that the contract miner is well paid, but all miners are not con- |tract miners, There is another class of miner known as the company miner,” who docs not earn between £2,600 and $4,000 a year and who works every day the colliery works Mr, Newton did not say anything abont the many days work the miners iln«r- because of the old familiar cry No cars”” It is true that the miner hasgibout 15 holldays in the year, but [it 1s just as truc that sometimes for in an ef. |month after month, Sundays and holi- | large. {days are the only time he ever sces ibis home in the daylight unless he stops work about 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
