The first ward primaries were held at
the city hall, and during the course of the
evening tie reporter counted one consec-
utive South Slider in the audience.

Nominations for the long term being
declared in order. John Roberts, Ed Hof-
mann, Gaspert L. Gilmore and George
N. Hanson were nominated. Mr.. Roberts
promptly and vigorously declined to be
considered in the race. but when the bal
lots were counted they were found to be
as follows: Roberts IL, Holman 4, Gil
more l, Hanson 4.
Roberts then positively declined the
nomination. Mr.. Gaspert Gilmore then
stated that unless Mr.. Roberts ran he
(Gaspert Gilmore) could not be consid-
cred in the field. Although this was
doubtless a weighty consideration with
Mr.. Roberts. he nevertheless reiterated his
declination. A second ballot was therefore
necessarily taken for the long term with
this result: Hoffman, 10, Hansen 0, Gaspert
Gilmore 9. Mr.. Hoffman was therefore
declared the nominee.
A recess of five minutes was then de-
clared, after which a ballot was taken for
the short term and Gaspert l.. Gilmore
was nominated by 81 votes.
