year ago to become mayor. was nomi-
mated to succeed bimself. At the magis-
trates convention Edward A. Devlin
was renominated with only slight op-
| position.
At the same time the Democrats
held their conventions. Arthur Biddle
was nominated for city solicitor and
Maurice F. Wilhere was renominated
for magistrate. In the case of the
latter the nomination is equivalent to
election, as under the law the minority
party is entitled to one-third of the
magistrates.
Conventions were held by the Re-
publicans in the five Congressional dis
tricts in this city, at each of which
two delegates and two alternates to the

announced as combine delegates.

separate meeting, electing State Sena-
tor Elwood Becker and Henry Clay as

In the Third district anti-Quay con-
vention resolution endorsing Senator
