Tomorrow all of the parties will hold direct pri maries for the nomination ot candi dates for mayor, city treasurer, city clerk and members of the board of aldermen. The mayoralty, which Is for a term of four years at an annua! salary of 118,000, is the plum that is sought by eight aspirants, live repub licans and three democrats. The name of one candidate each for the socialists and prohiblttonistts also will appear on the ballot, bqt neither of these parties Is expected to cut much of a figure in the race. The five candidates for the mayoral ty nomination on the republican side are Charles E. Merrlam, John E. Scul- ley, John B. Thompson, Tom Murray and John P. Smulskl. Mr. Merrlam Is a professor at the University of Chicago and a member of the board of aldermen. He is classed as the re publican reform candidate. As an alderman ho was chairman of the commission on city expenditures, year. -John E. Scullcy, whose name pears second on the ballot, Is a mem ber of the board of aldermen and an experienced politician. The principal plank of his platform is opposition to the public service corporations. John R. Thompson, the third repub lican aspirant for the mayoralty, is known chiefly as the proprietor of a string of popular restaurants. He has mixed in politics for some years and once served a term as county treas urer. In his fight for the mayoralty he has the backing of Senator Lorltn- er's chief lieutenants. The candidacy of Tom Murray, who It fourth on the republican list, is not taken very seriously. Murray is clothing merchant and for Tamed for his unique methods of advertising. He has Sever been a candidate for public othce before. John P. Smulskl, the fifth of the re. publican aspirants, It a velerian poll ticlan, who used to be state treasurer. Ho Is said to be favored by Governor Deneen and his local following for the mayoralty nomination. On the democratic tide there arc three candidates for mayor, Carter H. Harrison. Audrew J. Graham and Ed ward F. Dunne. Carter H. Harrison, who already has served four terms as mayor, wish es to equal the record of his famous father, who was elected five terms. Behind the Harrison candidacy Is the notorious Kenna-Coughlan first ward regency and a considerable portion of the old Harrison admlnistrstlon. Audrew J. Graham, the second of the democratic aspirants, is a West Side banker who has figured in demo cratic politics for a long time, but has not held office. He has the backing of the democratic county organisation. His campaign for the nomination has been notable cblefly for bis lavish ex penditures. Edward F. Dunne, the third demo crat in the field, was elected mayor several years ago on a municipal ownership platform. Before that he bad been on ibe bench. When mayor be made a good record. He lowered telephone rates, and, although be vetoed seventy-flve-cent gas, an or dinance was passed giving the people a reduction from $1 to 85 cents. W. A. Brubaker is the only prohlbl tlon candidate for mayor and W. E. Rodrigues has no opposition at the socialist primaries. In addition to the mayoralty keen Interest is displayed in the alder- manic contests In nearly all of the thirty-five wards. The aklermsnlc contests are more numerous than for many years. Particularly Is this true on the democratic tide, where the bitter mayoralty battle has brought out Graham, Harrison and Dunne •Idennanie candidates in nearly ev ery ward. Twenty-five years ago, in 1886, a colored academy was established In the Classic City by tbe Jeritel Bap tist nssoelatlbn assisted by the Am erican Baptist home mission society of New York.

Jor NEGRO CLEARED AND PROSECUTOR PAIS COST Unexpccled Turned For For Prosecutor in Case For Alleged Simple Larceny. Arthur Benjamin, a negro tailor, was tried yesterday before Judge West on the charge of simple larceny, a warrant having been sworn out by another negro, Jack Kenney. Benja min was represented by Mr. J. Gor don Knox and Mr. E. K. Lumpkin, Jr. while the prosecution was represent ed by Solicitor Upson and Judge G, C Th imas. The case was stubbornly fought by the attorneys on both sides, and every point in the case was brought out by the attorneys. The Jury was no! long In arriving at a verdict In favor of Benjamin, but went further and recommended that the prosecutor, Jack Kenny, tflj held on the charge of malicious prosecution and in de fault of payment of cost be remand ed to jail. The handling of the case by Messrs. Knox and Lumpkin was commented on by many who heard the trial as It illustrated the ability of these young attorneys in handling a case where many complications had aria- Messrs. Knox and Lumpkin are ad vancing rapidly in their profession and their success is due to bard work and study of ail cases tried by them. the movement first started r.ovcral ot the Catholic priests preach ed against it, urging Catholics not to contribute to the movement, and were quite vehement in their attacks upon the Institution. These attacks are said to have been founded upon the fact that the con stUutlon and by-laws of the Y. M. C. A. prohibits a Catholic from being elected to any office in the organiza tion. Although no reports of these ser mons were published in the local pa pers, - they bad sufficient effect to cause the Y. M. C. A. committee to make effort to counteract them. To that end a letter written by Archbishop Ireland Indorsing the M. C. A, movement In St. Paul and contributing $250 to it, was publish ed broadcast in the local paperx. The Catholic clergy here immediate' ly set about an inquiry into this let ter nnd received a letter from Arch bishop Ireland which was read In the Catholic churches of Atlanta on Sun day In which that dignitary stated that he had written Bitch a letter nnd inndo the contribution In question; hut (hat lie had done so upon the un derslandlng llmt the clause in the Y. M. C. A. constitution discrminatlng against Catholics, should be eliminat ed. When the time came for the re moval of this clause, the motion was made, but voted down. Thereupon Archbishop Ireland stated that he re quested the withdrawal of ills letter and received assurance that it would no longer be used. This last letter from the Archbishop has not been published, nor will any mention of it be made for the pres ent in the local press. HAVEMEYERDICK WEDDING.
