Tim Lyons, Gather. Dowd and San

Will Watson, of the customs guards,
IS receiving strong backing for city

''There is not much chance for Tim
Lyons being chief of police under
MagOtfin,' said a democrat this after

John O'Ke fife. If the democrats car
ry out their platform Tim is certainly
out of tn question. l think Gait er
has the strongest pull for chief and
would like to see him get it. Gather
has wanted the job for long time and
he has now chance to get It."
