BOTH SIDES FIGHTING SHY.
The SChWaTz and Myers Factions Alert
for TO-light'S Meeting.

Mai. sohwarz Issues a Notice to Mem
bers of the Citizens Club to Be on
Hand-A Question Whether a Nomi-
nation Win Be Made or Date for It
Fixed 49, President Osborne to Inter
pref the Club Rules.
There will be a very lively meeting Of
the Citizens Club tonight if predictions
are verified. There will doubtless be an at
tempt to make the nomination for the
mayoralty and if this is done there is
likely to be some fun.
In any event it is understood that if the
nomination is not made the time and place
for it and the manner in which it will be
made will be definitely decided upon.
In order to satisfy the warning factions
It is likely that an early date viii be set
for the nomination. A well posted mem
Der of the club said yesterday that he be-
lieved the club would decide tonight to
hold primary TO decide upon the mayor
atty question and that one day this week,
probably Thursday or Friday, would be
named as the time for holding the primary.
There is likely to be considerable discus
sion on this point as large element of the
club is opposed to an early nomination as
bad politics.
President Osborne is in the city. and will
preside tonight. Representatives Screven
and Doolan are also here. and Represent
alive Rockwell was expected last night
All are expected to remain to the meet
ing, which shows with how much inn
portance il is regarded. Mr.. Osborne was
seen yesterday, but declined to express
himself with regard to the meeting lie
was asked If there Aas a rule which would
prohibit a nomination being made to-
night. He replied that he had ruled at
previous meeting that nominations could
not be made except at a meeting called for
that specific purpose, the object being
TO prevent snap judgment 1t is presumed
that the same ruling will hold good to-
night This being the case if the nomi-
nation is set for the next meeting all nom
nations for the mayorality will have to
be made at the meeting tonight.
The names of Alderman Herman Myers
and Mai. John Schwarz will certainly he
placed before the club as candidates. 1t is
not certain whether DR.. DupCan's name
will placed in nomination. Very little has
been heard from Or. Duncans supporters
of late. The talk has been all SChwarz
and Myers. Should the Schwarz men find
themselves in the minority at the meeting
1t may be taken for granted that they will
present the name of Or. Duncan The re-
lations between the supporters of Alder
man Myers and Mai. Schwarz have grown
rather strained of late and il will be no
surprise if some unpleasantness should
crop out. The following card from Mai.
Schwarz appears amopg the special adj
vertisements in the Morning News to-day.

lows hall tonight for the purpose of con-
sidering the mayoralty question Every
member of the club was urged to be pres
ent. Many of his friends, Mai. Schwarz
said had not received these notices.
Whether any notice had been sent them he
could not say. but Gin order that there
might be no mistake about ii he thought ii
best to put his friends on notice. He was
asked If he thought the failure to send no.
tees of the meeting to his supporters was
intentional.
Il can't say about that" he replied
he NOTICES were sent out by MT. Sheftall
and MIR. Alexander. I believe. All know
is that many of my friends have not re-
Ceved notices"

nomination to-night?" the major was
asked.

should be made; by primary or other
wise?'
Whatever method will be satisfactory
TO the club win be satisfactory to me- %
was his reply. "All I ask is fair treat
ment"
IAN you ask is a square deal then?"
That is all
Mai. Schwarz did not have much to saw,
but his speech and manner indicated that
he meant business. It is understood that
he will have something to say at the meet
ing tonight. and that what he will say
will be in very plain language 1t is said
that he will charge some Of the prominent
members Of the club with duplicity in
their attitude towards his candidacy.
and that he will demand a showing OF
hands then and there Mai. Schwartz re-
marks viii be looked forward to as one
Of the features of the meeting.
