Candidates for Office

A very quiet meeting was held
somewhere in town and a ticket
suggested yesterday for the COM
ing municipal election. The can
didates named were P. I. Mcclure.
for mayor: DR.. j. a. Baker, John
Blunt and T. HI. Bedwell for trus
ices. II is said that none of them
knew of the so-called CAUCUS that
originated the ticket and the two
Or three gathered together at the
caucus are veiled in obscurity. II
is not certain whether all of the
gentlemen named will consent to
run. However. their nomination
by petition is probable, as petition
has been circulated for that pur-
pose. A committee to fill vacan-
cics was also named by the '.cau-
Gus. 1t consisted of George
Wilson, w. J. Daniels and w. r.
Rathvon. None of these gentle
men knew anything about it, how
ever, until the petition was in cir
culation. Mr.. Wilson declared
emphatically this morning that he
would not allow his namc TO be
used in this connection or serve
IN such a committee.
