Mayor Bakers Friends Are Rallying III
Wards Three and Seven,
On of the most important interests at
taching to the Repu blican caucuses this
evening will he the choice of the dele
gates to the mayoralty convention. There
has been for some time quiet move
ment among certain parties to prevent
the denomination of Mayor Baker. But
great difficulty was experienced in find
ing anyone who woul6 be the candidate.
Alderman c. H. Randall was at one time
selected, but he is understood to have
written letter declining to stand.
Then there is believed to have been an
effort to get anti-Baxter men enough in
it, in the hope that some candidate
might be found when his nomination
could be assured him. At any rate,
whether such a movement has existed or
not, those wishing to see Mayor Baxter
renominated have taken the alarm, and
in Wards and have put in tickets in
opposition to the tickets printed by the
city committee. In the other five wards
it is not known now that any tickets
will be put in opposed to the regularly
printed city committee tickets, although
on those tickets there are some anti
Baxter names.
The tickets likely to be in the field, so
far as known, are:
WARD ONE.
4 The only ticket so far heard from in
Ward l is composed of Edward H. Sar-
gent, Apheus Griffin, Xxx. Galley, John
NJ. Conway, Benjamin c. Miles. Edward

as follows: Isaiah Daniels, Fran els B.
Barr, FRANK Fl. Plummer. Frank B.Snow-

test, the issue being between a ticket
