The Democratic city executive committee will meet at Hendrick’s club rooms Tuesday night to select a candidate for councilmen at large. Col Bill Tricklin leads, but may be forced by the committee to accept. Other contenders include Ed Scherer Tom Markey Henry Lout and A M McCleary. Prohibition organizers launch a six week state canvass led by James P Pinkan with statewide speeches. Postmaster Thompson and Collector Hildebrand expected to serve out terms. Local Democrats doubt John Rail or Maurice Donnelly will win the collectorship, with Capt Thomas Madden seen as a strong but wealthier alternative. Denny appears poised to gain labor votes, boosting his bid.
