Those who expect TO be candidates
for the nomination on the Republican
ticket at the city election in April are
invited to attend the meeting OF The
Republican central committee to be
held at Tweedy's Office this evening, at
1880 O'clock. The manner Of holding the
primarlcs will probably be settled at
this meeting and 1t is the desire of the
committee that all of the candidates
shall be given an opportunity to express
themselves on the matter. There seems
10 be q very strong and growing sena-
meHt among the Republicans to do
away with the old way of voting at the
primaries and have the coming city
primaries conducted under the Austria
Ian system, which is a secret ballot.
The claim Is made that the expenses OF
each candidate would be less under the
Australian system than under the old
way OF voting and not more as many
suppose.
