JOHN CLARK FOR MAYOR.
CONTINUED From Page H.

meeting last evening, at which were
present D. G. Dunbar, ]. D. Raleigh,
Samuel Allen, Joseph E. Game and
H. P. Folsom. Tie resignation
of Mr. Game was taken up and
Considered and accepted, he agreeing
70 fill the position of secretary of the
committee temporarily, until some
other man could be selected. This res
ignation has been alluded to in The
Herald previously. Mr.. Game is iden-
tilted with the non partisan movement.
The committee discussed the matter
of the coming convention and decided
that each delegate should pay so cents
toward defraying the costs of the ex
penses of the same. This movement is
decided upon in order that there may
be no confusion in the matter Of f.
naTces and that everything may be
paid for as they go along.
In the matter of adjournment, after
some discussion. it was agreed that the
committee should meet On the evening
following the holding Of the Democratic
primaries and AN adjournment was
taken until that time.

1t seems that the waterworlss depart
ment is not the only department which
has been assessed for the Republican
campaign fund this summer and fall.
ems department are protesting against
having to pay, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, and some Of them tell sto-
ries of So assessments at time when
they cannot afford to whack up. There
is a chance for the city council to get
in some fine work in an investigation of
this matter. 1t would .eem that So is a
large sum for man to pay, especially
! when he has been taxed for similar
cIrJ hot n e q n a 90 co
in this instance.
Mayor Glendinning is going to &C
count for his contingent fund, but not
to the city council. He will make it to
| the city convention Of his party
! At the last session Of the city com
mittee the matter was brought up on
a suggestion that a vote Of censure be
! passed in relation to the mayor and
then came the startling information
| that Glendinning was willing to account
| for the manner in which the funds in
| the contingent portion of the city treas
ury had been spent, but not -sto the
council, which had snubbed him on
| every hand. It was stated that at the
meeting of the convention he would pre-
sent the same, item by item, and would
! faithfully account for every dollar. This
! will come as sort OF surprise to the
members of the council. who have been
| repeatedly nagging at His Worship, .
! and will be an official rebuke which
! they will not get over for some time.
/ What the effect will be is a matter of
! conjecture. 1t may work all right and
| it may not, so far as denomination is
concerned There is one sure thing
connected with this plan: the citizens
will rejoice at having q. correct and de-
! tailed statement even though the same
! does not come through the regular
channels.
| Some of the envious ones are circulat-
! ing a rumor to the effect that Dave
Hampstead. who is candidate for city
attorney on the Democratic ticket Il
not a Democrat and base their allega-
tons on the fact that he is assistant to
{ Judge Mckay. These rumors are I'm
| true, because Hampstead is a Democrat
and a stalwart at that.

The face and form of A. S. Geddes is
again in our midst. Although he says
nothing about his future plans, it is in
timated that when the ball opens over
| in the Third, he will be heard from and
| will be a factor. Geddes is a Republic
can an does not propose to follow the
| Citizens movement to any alarming eX-
tent Whether he will be a candidate
I or not remains to be seen, but there
are several of his friends who want to
run him for the council in his district.
