In the selection of candidates for the
olrY council, the Republican party. too,
seems to have been especially unfor-
tunate. Not less than four of those Sc
.ected TO run viii either have to resign
Their positions With the CORPORATIONS
with which they are identified, or get
out Of the race.
1t is al on account Of section II.
article XII of the state constitution.
RMS section reads: No officer. en-
oioyee, attorney or agent, of any cor
company or association DOING
business under, or by virtue of. any
municipal charter or franchise. shah be
4hSlDle to or permitted to hold any
municipal Office in the municipality
