government will be held Friday night.
Hon. John Nichols is one of the cand-
dates for Mayor and 1t is now said that
Mr.. c. Tom Bailey Is also one. Ex-Unted
Stats Marshal j. h. Hill was mentioned
as a candidate but he declines to allow
his name to be used. Were he the noni-
nee the Democrats would have 70 make
a tremendous fight. for there is no more
popular man in this city. The result OF
the election will depend entirely on the
regis tration.
