but with the exception OF the fight In the
First Ward very little interest Is mani
tested in the contest. Treasurer Bro
naugh and High Constable Brooks have

that the vote polled will be very small
one.
In the First Ward. Mr.. Sims. the Demo
cratic nominee OF the ward meeting, is
being opposed by Mr.. S. r. Jones, as an
Independent. The friends OF both candl-
dates claim 10 be able to win. The Demo

this is done the ticket will be elected.
