ticket for the city campaign. Contrary
to expectations, T. B. Thompson and S.
j. Coffee each announced to his friends
that he would not accept the nomina-
ton, and the name of neither was pre-
sented to the convention. Ex-County
Treasurer Cave was chosen by ACCLAIM
alton and there was not a dissenting
vote to any of the succeeding nominal
tons that We're made. The ticket is ad-
mitted to be a strong one and the dem

lieved that Mr.. Caves personal popu-

Simons of the Second ward is an ac-
tive and progressive business man of
the city; Mr. Coffee of the Third ward
is a popular business man and
consistent democrat; Mr.. Keim of the
Fourth ward has already served his
ward through one term and has made
an enviable record. In selecting Lieu
tenant Hall as chairman of the city cen
trail committee. the democrats have
made an excellent choice and have
given recognition Of services that have
always been cheerfully given to the
party. The campaign opens with every
body in line for the ticket.
