BOYtR TITS DAVIS AGAINST HIM
Zaraaaehlea Ala Locate la aa tb
Desaaeralle Herlsoa DUcord Pre
vails la that Party'
Camp.
Mayor Victor Jennings' begin to real lie
that he will not secure a renomlnatlon for
a third term without considerable opposi
tion, bat be ha still strong hope that he
will land It when th day of the democra
tic city . convention roll around. Mayor
Jennings 1 conceded to be a good cam
paigner, with a strong faculty for lining up
hla force at tb proper time. He haa th
advantage over hla opponent in that he has
at hi beck and call th members of th
nolle fore, who are all good wire pullers,
and In th two former elections did yeoman
service for blm In their respective ward.
The fact that he ha served two consecu
tive term. Mayor Jennings says, should not
militate agalnat hi renomlnatlon. Mr.
Jennings believe that In his cas a re
nomlnatlon will mean re-election.
Conditions In the democratic party, bow-
ever, are different from those of two year
ago. The harmony existing two year ago
baa flown. There are several factions, tb
member of which have for some time been
sharpening their knlvea for the city elec
tion . and no matter what ticket will be
nominated at the democratic city conven
tion it will be slashed. . Among tb "sore
heads" are several former member of
Mayor Jennings' police force and they are
known to be working bard against hi re
nomlnatlon. Home of bis strongest sup
porter two years ago are now agalast blm
and among thl number may be counted
Alderman Boyer, who ha declared himself
In favor of Oeorg B. Davis, former nchool
treasurer.
Mr. Davis ha a strong following and I
known to b anxious to secure the demo
cratic mayoralty nomination. He believe
that Mayor Jennings, having been twice
honored with the party nomination, should
be willing to let some on else have a
chance.
Zarnaaehlen Haa a Baasa.
Those on the Inside assert that If Mayor
Jennings falls to carry 'th nomination It
will fall to LouLs Zurmuehlen, jr., a youag
business man. Zurmuehlen has a large fol
lowing in th younger clement of tb demo
cracy and aver since be waa old enough t
vote he baa been prominent In city politics.
For several yeara be wa chairman of the
democratic city central committee and has
been conspicuous at democratic convention
In thla city In recent year. He I a mem
ber of a number of secret and fraternal
order. . . . ' .
The way tb tide I flowing toward Zur
muehlen wa exemplified at a meeting a
few bights ago of a number of tbe leaders of
tb city democracy. A vote wa taken on
th mayoralty nomination. Davt gad Jen
ning polled a tie, while Kurauehlen re
ceived more than donbl tb vote ef Jen
nings and Davis combined. It was at this
meeting that Alderman Boyer declared
himself against Jennings and In favor of
Da via. .
It la aald a meeting of th democratic
city central commute was held Tuesday
night, but If It was Detectlv Dan Weir,
acting In th interest of Mayor Jennings,
felled to locate It. Alderman Boyer, who I
chairman of th committee, 1 aald to have
been present, a well a Leo Evans, secre
tary. 'It. Is reported these officers are to
call a general meeting of the committee

publishing tb terms of district court.
H. J. and Fred Healey, saloonkeepers In
Mlnden, bad remitted th penalty of $30

th ground that auch delay wa caused by
