Committee.
Probably the first business before the
committee will be arranging to fill vacan-
cies In its membership. At the Fifth ward
meeting DIR. o. Il. Pettijohn was author
lied to appoint list of precinct commit
teemen for the ward. subject TO the APPROX
al of the committee. and it will remain for
the committee TO say whether or not 1t will
approve Dr.. Pettijohn's list or order an
election in the ward. The Fourtee nth
ward has not yet elected. nor have Pre-
cinets 70. 80. 81. So and SO in the Ninth ward
and Precincts l55. 156. 157. l5S and 159 in the
Fifteenth. These will have to be
arranged for. and in view of these
vacancies it Is hardly probable
that the convention question will
be preached until a meeting of the full
committee Those who favor an early con-
vention will not press their views. and il is
not likely that there will be any material
difference OF opinion as to the proper date
for the gathering. p. e. Trusler. who was
the first TO suggest an early convention. Is
O warm supporter of ex-Mayor Denny. and
from this fact it was taken for granted
that BIZ. Denny's friends were eager for
an early convention. 1T was simply
my personal view of the matter" said
Mr.. Trusler last evening. "that the earlier
the question of candidates was settled the
better, but there is no disposition on the
part of Mr.. Denny's friends to crowd things.
We are willing to accept Whatever the ma.
jority of the committee may fix upon as the
proper date for the convention, and believe
that our candidate will be stronger then
than now"
10 is possible that the election of a city
chairman will be postponed until the va
probable that the committee will
organize next Saturday night In order
that 1t may have head who will be re-
sponslbe for getting the machinery of the
oIkanlZatiOn AZ WORK AT once, 80 tnbt tn
early poll may be taken. There has been
ssyet no definite movements in favor of
any particular man for chairman, though
several names have been suggested. among
them Albert w. Wishard. Preston G. Trus-
Ter. Merrill M0ores. Harry Z. Adams. w. II.
Schmidt, A. Z. Hendrickson and III. Z.
Smith. None of these have been consulted.
and 1t is hardly likely that any Of them are
anxious for the position. but political COM
mittees and conventions are not In the
habit of consulting peoples convenience.
There has been more interest in the dis
cussion of Republican mayoralty candi.
dates this year than has been noted for @
decade past. Ex.Msyor Denny is thus far
the only avowed candidate for the nom-
inaton. and among others whose names
have been talked of without their consent
are NJ. u. NOLAN, Col. Eli Lilly, A. w.
WIshard. r. o. Hawkins, John c. Perry.
William Kothe and G. w. Fairbanks.
