MINORITY GET OUT TICKET
Saturday nights prohibition party meet
ing was not productive Of harmony in the
party. The meeting put town and city
ticket in the field despite the wishes of the
majority of those present, and the end, it
is said, is not yet The result will tend no
doubt, to a change in the party leadership
in this city. The minority, headed by Mr..
Dewey, decided to put ticket in the field
despite the fact that at previous meeting
it had been otherwise decided, and it was
done in spite of protest headed
by such men as President Camp of
the clock company, Rev. Mr.. Squires,
Mr.. McDermett of J.W. Nichols insurance
Office, Superintendent Camp of the St.John
street M. E. church Sunday school, Mr.. Nc

Babcock, bookkeeper for w. ]. Atwater,
and others.
There were twenty-four present at the
| meeting, and it being apparent that the
| minority were determined to have their
own way about it, the majority did not
vote, as is seen from the following:
| For mayor, 10 ballots cast.
| For city clerk, ballots cast.
For auditor, 10 ballots cast
For treasurer, 9 ballots cast.
