councilman at large From the sentimen
expressed at the various ward meetings i
s certain that R. G. O'Brien will receiy,

opposition. For city treasurer there ar,
already announced Joseph Chilberg
George B. Hartman, L. F. Henderson. K
D. Glover, ]; P. Armstrong and at least on,
other name in whose interest much worI
IS being done, will be presented. Their,
are 63 others who would like to have thi,
Office.
For assessor, either E. E. Stevens, Rob
ert Whitman, G. M. Moore and T. Fort
are likely to be nominated. Ambition fo
this office has not been so marked, DR.
Hal Wyman's name is about the only ON
mentioned for health officer, he hayin,
stated that DR.. Riley was not particularlt
desirous of filling the office another term,
The withdrawal of Harry McEIroy i
looked upon as a sure victory for Joh1
Miller Murphy, and unless an UNUSUAL,
strong man is presented. Murphy's re
election is assured.
