Is Conry pledged to a single term in Congress
A lengthy political dispute centers on whether Congressman Joseph A. Conry promised not to seek a second term in 1900 and to back ex Senator John A. Kelcher. Ex Congressman Fitzgerald and James Donovan are cited as witnesses or claimants to a pledge, with Kelcher supporters arguing a deal existed while Conry allies push a renomination. The clash involves ward loyalties, council race dynamics, and potential last minute entry by J. J. Corbett, shaping the Ninth District contest for the next Congress.
