MERCHANT POLICE FORCE.

Thomas Reelected, Adding Force to the
Protest Before the Board of Safety.
It Is hardly likely that the Board of Safe
ty will be able to carry out it's pretty little
scheme of recognizing the Merchant police
force on o partisan basis. by practically
putting it in charge of q sub-board. or
committee composed of two Democrats
and one Republican. A number of DEM
ooratio signatures are on the protest be-
fore the board against Its action three
weeks ago.
This protest was given additional force
yesterday afternoon when the Merchant
police held their annual election in Room
10 of the Odd Fellows Building. and Capt.
II. Z. Thomas was reelected over Jasper
U. Clary by vote of 20 to 13. q nu m Der of
Democrats voting for Thomas. The action
OF the Board of Safety did not come up for
discussion. Captain Thomas said that he
thought there would be no further trouble.
rs the board would probably respect the
wishes of the majority of the force. No
effort was made to change the rules OF the
force, by which the captain appoints the
secretary and all committees. These ap-
pointments will be made next Monday and
will 60 before the Board of Safety for con-
hrmati0n at Its next meeting.
