ON THE BATTLES BRINK.
THE FIELD BEING ARRANGED
FOR THE CONTEST.
Both Tickets win Re Out I'm a Short
Time and the Fight Will Be
Lively Between the Tiger
ana the Badger.

AS each day rolls by instead of the
wrinkEed brow of the grim visaged
war in the municipal campaign be-
ing smoothed out IL becomes more in
tensely corrugated. AS both sides
stand on the brink of battle the field
is being prepared for action. The
heavy guns are being planted and the
batteries will commence to play.
The mass meeting, which will take
place at Rische's opera house tomor-
row night. will unquestionably be
what it's name implies and attract an
attendance which will be simply i'm
mense, and 1t will also unques tiona-
bly, endorse the Honorable George
Paschal for mayor.
The Shardein ticket will probably
be announced by that time, and the
the city administration ticket will
not be in the field many, If any,
hours before the Observation-Disclosures
ticket, headed by Mr.. Paschal, will
be nominated and ratified by q large
majority of the voters. The war is
not only going to be carried into
Africa" but "Mexieo" is going
to be battle ground, where
the administrstionists are likely
to meet with q Waterloo such as they
never have dreamed of before. The
principal element of strength that
their ticket has among those who
speak United States and are free
tn nd fxua fu 10 hof rrixy
by Capt. Bob Green, of the Belknaps,
their candidate for city attorney, and
hundreds of those who support him
will not support the balance of the
administration ticket.
This is conceded by the admins
trationists themselves, who say ne Is
not the Grouchy on whom they rely.

tions of the field last night.

PoLIT CAL POINTERS.
Capt. Nelson Mackey has asked the
LIGHT TO state that his reason for de-
Ginning the nomination for mayor was
not because he believed that he would
be defeated by Captain Shardein, but
because his business interests will not
admit of Mackey's making the race
for the mayoralty which would take
up all of his time.
J. B. Olson has been mentioned
prominently as q candidate on the
Paschal ticket for the authorship.
The best posted politicians In the
city say John 8. Ramsay is the man
the people want for auditor, in case
Mr.. Ernest Richter will decline to
run.
