Mr.. Cuskic Not Candidate for
Mayor.

The report that Mr.. James Caskie, pres
ident OF tho Common Council, might be-
come q candidate for the mayoralty next
spring appears TO be without any material
foundation. While many OF that gentle
mans friends have asked him TO run for
this Office. he has to each and every one
OF them said that he is not and will. In
all probability, not be candidate. Mr.
Caskie is deeply interested in the welfare
position he does. his friends naturally
want to see him advance. He has no
higher ambition. however, than 90 have
the AFFAIRS Of the city administered TO
the best possible advantage. He certainly
at present has no idea of becoming a
candidate for Mayor in next springs eiec-
ton.
