resolution
Resolved, That the Citizens Club hold a
primary for the nomination OF a can5i-
date for mayor Wednesday, Nov. "A, be-
tween the hours of o'clock p. IN. and
o'clock D. m., that each candidate appoint
"a committee OF three OF his friends TO ar
range all details of the same; that this
joint committee wait at once on all the
candidates and receive from them pledge
of faithful adherence TO the result of
such primary: and that none but the
registered voters OF the club who are resi-
dents Of the city be permitted to vote at
said primary
Mr.. Manucy stated that this resolution
was offered IN a spirit of fairness and he
trusted the same would be adopted. After
considerable discussion and much cheer
ing pro and con for and against, a vote
was taken and the resolution was declared
adopted and the meeting adjourned.
Members of the club were coming out
from time to time during the meeting, and
probably two or three hundred left be-
fore an adjournment was reached. They
were discussing every phase Of 1t, but OF
opinions there were but two, for and
against.
Mr.. Manucy's resolution states that the
committee it provides for is to approach
all candidates for the nomination and Sc
cure their pledge TO abide by the result
OF the primary, but 1t is stated by mem
bers Of the club that thsre is only one
avowed candidate for the nomination.
Several others have been mentioned, but
they can hardly be called candidates, for
while they have not refused to allow the
use Of their names, they have not openly
and publicly stated so.
All interest win now center around
what the club win do Wednesday after
noon. Who viii be nominated? That's the
question. Whether 1t will be Schwarz, or
Myers, or Duncan, or, as one of the men,
bers remarked in his speech last night,
Falligant. There can be little doubt, so
far as can be learned, that the nomination
lies between Maj. Schwarz and Mr.. Her
man Myers, and for the next to days there
viii be some warm political work by the
friends of both. Well, tomorrow will de-
eide who Is to be the candidate, and there
are great many who say it will decide
who is to be the next mayor of Sa-
