1t is no exaggeration of facts to say
| that no city election ever held in Ashe-
vile has awakened livelier interest than
| the one that is to be held on the first
| Monday in Nav, preceded by the pri-
| mary on Saturday.
The business man calls on his brothers
| in trade and talks the situation over
| with serious face, and the laborer dis
cusses eagerly with his neighbor the men
suggested for office and the probable out
come of the municipal contest. There
are men who want priE1arY. and who
want the primary to decide the matter.
At the same time there are men who do
not want a primary, and who will not
participate in one when it is held.
1t il this independent element that is
sued the call published in THE CITIZEN
yesterday. with near 300 signatures,
tor a meeting in the court house this
| evening at O'Clock Ito nominate a
ticket for mayor and other city officers
| at the coming municipal election, inde-
| pendent of party lines
