DEMOCRAT FACTIONS FIGHT FOR MAYOR x-Clilrf Illxliy1 * Frlrtuln Out for the .Sciil | of Major . | CIIIIIIKH | Itrituli- llfiiiiH Who Arc Mentioned for Oilier. The local political pot Is commencing lo boll and candidates for the several city offi ces to bo voted on next month nro bobbin ) ; up on all sides. None of the offices will go begging for lack of aspirants and the contest for fcoine of the nominations promises to be lively. This promise * to bo especially true among the democrats , and the two factions of that party are expected to have quite a fight over the nomination for the bead ol the ticket. U Is said that Mayor Jennings will meet with considerable opposition In securing n ronomlnatlon , as the friends ol ox-Chief of Police Frank lllxby Intend to run him for mayor. Hlxby has a large fol lowing among a certain element In his party and the fight for the nomination now has the Indications of being a warm one. This Is conceded to bo a republican year , and consequently there Is no lack of aspi rants In that party for the different city offices which will bo at tbo gift of the voters next month. For mayor the following names are being mentioned : Dr. H , H. Jennings , Colonel W. P. Daker , Spencer Smith , Lewis Hammer , I. , . M. Shubert , J. 1 > . Grecnshlclds and W. J. Jamison. A number of pf eminent republicans are anxious that the nomination should go to Dr. JennUigs , but It Is doubt ful if ho will accept It. J. P. Oreenshleldg Is being put forward by his friends. He- publicans In the east part of the city are pushing the claims of Lewis Hammer , who refused the nomination two years ago. At that time ho was In 'business ' and declined on that account. Since then ho has retired and his friends say he could be Induced to accept now. It Is generally conceded that ho would make a strong head for the ticket. Hammer , who has also been suggested as a candidate for alderman at large , as boa I-i. M. Shubert. the present alderman from the Sixth ward. Frank T. True Is being prominently mentioned for city treasurer and It Is believed that he will receive the nomination with little or no opposition , should ho decide to become a candidate. He has filled the position of city finance clerk for a number of years and there Is no man probably In the city better fitted to take care of Its finances than he Is. W. M. Shepard , formerly county recorder for three terms , Is said to be out for the norul- nptlon. rCii.rii n. Itunomliintloii. The nomination for auditor will go to thf present Incumbent of that office , F. Lk ENans , without opposition. Mr. Evans Is conceded by all to bo the best auditor the city ever had and so far no democrat haa appeared on the scene willing to contest the office with him. There are a number of lawyers who would be willing to serve tbo city as the municipality's solicitor , among the names mentioned being 0. D. Wheeler , J. J. Hess , 0. H. Scott , S. D. Snyder , H. J. Chambers and C. D. Altchtson. So far it Is believed that Wheeler has the strongest pull for the nomination. For city engineer Harley Maync % Thomas Q. Harrison and Thomas Tostevln are avowed candidates. So far there are three candidates for the nomination tor city assessor. They cr Frank F. Everest , H. G. McGee and Charles Konlgmacher. For welghmaster the names of D. Mottas , H. C. Davis and Tom Johnson are mentioned ns being In the race. race.Four Four names are mentioned for aldermen at large. They are E. E. Sayles , Lewis Hammer , W. S. Cooper and L. M. Shubert. Sayles will have no opposition In securing a rcnomlnatlon. If Shubert falls to secure one of the nominations for alderman at large he will probably bo a candidate for alderman from the Sixth ward again. In the First ward candidates for alder men mentioned are Carl Morgan nr.d Charles Atwood. ' In the Second ward J. D. Johnson , P. H. Wind and Chris .Straub are mentioned. Colonel W. F. Baker , who was mentioned for this nomination , has given It out that ho Is not a candidate for alderman. In the Third ward there are three avowed candidates so far. They are Ed C. Brown , W. W. Windsor and W. M. McCrary. Thomas Mctcalf , the present alderman from this ward , will not seek a renoralna- llou. llou.Slack Slack Pelerson and C. W. McDonald are the only names mentioned up to this date In the Fourth ward. In the Fifth ward J. M. Davis , C. Konlg- rnarher , D. G. Clark and Daniel Crimea are said to ho out for the nomination , with a possible few more to bo heard from yet. The Sixth ward so far has three avowed candidates , A. C , Hardln , at present a mem ber of the Hoard of Park Supervisors , Is rael Lovctt , the electrician , and N. A. Crawford. There will be two vacancies In the Board of Park Commissioners to bo filled , the terms of William Arnd and A. C. Harding expiring this spring. George Gorman of the Flist ward Is an avowed candidate for one of the vacancies , while Henry Me- Gee Is being pushed by his friends for the otter. \0t HlltllllNlllHtll- . The democrats realize that this Is a re publican year and outoldo of the conuwt ovrr the nomination for mayor It does not look as If there will bo much of a ncramblo for the other nominations. Brooks Reed has glvon It out that ho will not seek n rcnomlnutlon for city treasurer , but his friends nay that If U Is offered him ho will hardly refuse. Robert Rain In talked of au a candidate for thU nomination. Wil liam Hlggcston , the present wolghuiaster. Is said to have aspirations to be auditor and Is out after the nomination against the- ad vice of his friends , who say ho had better stick to the welghmastertihip. Sam Ktnyre will bo given a renomlnatlon for engineer , as will Sam Wadswortb for city attorney. W. I ) . Hardln says ho Is not looking for renomlnatlon a city assessor , but this Is one of Hardln's little pleasantries. He never has asked for the nomination , but he gets there every time Just the same , and being a popular sort of fellow has always had the good luck to be elected , but this year It la said ha will go down In defeat with his party. Dr , Chrlslenaen , who U also said to have aspirations to bo chief executive of the will bo a candidate for city , aldorman-nt- largo again and Aldermen Atkins and Urough wilt ask for renomlnatlons In the Fourth and Fifth wards respectively. There Is somt uncertainty about Alderman Capper being a candidate again and It Is said , like Dr. ChrlHtensen , he would like to be mayor , W. 0 , Boyer Is en aldermanlc aspirant from the Sixth ward. For the other wards m names have been mentioned ns yet. rili 111,1 l.'l'S . SOCIKTV XKWS \niiilicr of Drllitlitfttl Aniilvrrnnr ; ICnlcrtnlinncnlt During Wet-It.

I _ UKS MOINKS. Keli. n. ( Special Tele gram. ) Totlny brought forth most liniwr- tnnt legislation us a result of the contro versy over the Stale Hoard of Control np- polnunont , which culminated In the HCiiale turning down Colonel Hood yesterday. The absorbing topic of discussion about the leg islature today hns been the bill Introduced In the house by S\\eot of Dremer , taking away the appointive power of the governor In the selection of Hoard of Control mem bers and making the odious elective by Joint convention of the legislature. The measure la acknowledged to be the result of the op position to Rood and Is understood to IIP backed by the anti-Hood supporters In the senate. Its friends' say that It will pns UK hotisci easily and they mean to push it vig orously In the senate , wuoro they hope tn gain enough votes , with the twenty-two ol OKI opposition , to put It through. There has been no now developments yet rdatlnp to the second appointment of the governor and It is suggested that there may not be until the above measure Is passed upon , for It will become effective at once If It PBHHOS and the pieHent legislature will elect the successor to ex-Governor Larrabcc. Tlic governor declines to talk of the matter , but it In understood ho is still casting about for a second nomination to send to the ecnate. The house bill to make the cfflccH elec tive leaves with the governor the power to suspend from office , with the confirmation of the senate. There will unquestionably bo 11 big light over the measure before It la settled. Deuillorlc IN Avrrtpil. The election of a Ftnte. . printer and binder Is temporarily delayed , as today the senate , without the light which was expected , voted to concur In thu house amendments to the concurrent resolutions providing for the election of trustees of the educational In stitutions , but not stale printer and binder , next Tuesday at 11:30 : o'clock. This Is taken as an Indication that the bill for the aboli tion of the ofllces may go through the senate utter all , though there will undoubt edly bo strong opposition , but at least for the present the election Is delayed. Klve members of tbo senate refused to vole to postpone the election of printer and binder , Including Penrose , McArthur , Mollltt , Ulanchanl and Lewis. One of the most Important measures yel passed upon by the senate was put through today In the bill extending the one-tenth ol u mill tax for building purposes at tht State university for the next five years , The act Will realize from $30,000 to ? 55OOC annually , to be used for the erection of an assembly hall , armory and gymnasium com bined and a new library and museum.

Three Important insurance measures werr Introduced In the house today. Bennett ol Carroll presented one which calls for an entirely new law Regarding mutual com panies by permitting them to Insure against IOSSOH of damages' resulting from burglary and against the loss of money and securities In the course of transportation. The pro vision Involved Is that business of this kind bo confined to such organizations as banks , loan and trust companies , etc. , and to county treasurers. Representative Temple Introduced two bills. One was made with u view to the absorption of the Union Life of Nebraska by the Royal Life of this Htato , the sig nificance of the text being that Iowa com panies , having reinsured and absorbed com panies In other states , can carry on to its credit as capital and an assets the capital and assets of the company absorbed. The second was to authorize Iowa as sociations to loan , money to policy holders upon security of 'their policies , with the provision they donot exceed the amount of legal reserve to the credit of the policy on the books of the association. Three bills passed the house this morn- Ing. The first , the measure introduced by Ovorfleld of Howard , providing that regis tered pharmacists who arc partners of per mit holders , ohall have the same prhilege.s and be subject to the same restrictions as clerks of the same. It Is merely to supply an omission In the code. The bill was papsed legalizing tbo Incorporating the town of Athelston , Taylor county , and also the meas ure providing for the publication of portions of the cede In pamphlet editions for thu ' benefit of certain lofser officials. The latter had previously passed the senate and went through the house with only seven negative votes. Colli'KON mi nil 1 ? < | utility.

The subcommittee to which the Ulster bill was referred has drafted a Mib tttutc. The original bill was construed by the committee to bo simply a license in prlzo fighting In tbo slate , as It exempted athletic clubs and gymnasiums holding cor- tlllcatrn from county authorities to bos from th" penalties In the bill. So the sub committee , with tbo approval of Uster , the author of the bill , has drawn up u mcasun * which It believes will IIP prohibitory of the sport. It attaches a penalty of $1.000 or Im prisonment for u year In the county Jail to anyone Indulging In boxing matrhcK or fisticuffs , with or without gloves , for prizes or other ImlnccmontH , and to anyone aiding In or receiving money for such exhibition ! ) .
