ANACONDA news,
FOR A CITIZENS TICKET
--latest Development in the Po-
litical Situation.
WILLIAMS FOR MAYOR
Generally Understo Cd That He Will Be
the Citizens Movement Candidate.
Gossip About Democratic Can
didates-School Election.

The latest thing in the local political
situation is a citizens" ticket. Just who
IS going to back this "citlzcns' " ticket
does not appear, but it is generally un-
derstood that c. II. Williams of the Sec
ond ward is prime mover in the scheme
and that it has .'or its object the candf-
dacy of Mr.. Wil'iams for mayor 1t is
also understood that Chris Walsh is help
ing the thing along as much as possible
so that when Mr., Williams is elected nav
or Mr.. Walsh will be appointed city attor-
lley and clerk.
"A good many eoubicans-substantia
men in the republican party-wcre asked
about the citizens ticket movement YES
terday, hut all of them declared they
knew nothing about it and that they had
not been approached on the question.
Democrats likewise disavowed any
knowledge of the citizens ticket proposi-
tfon, and said that so ia r as they know the
democratic party would so it alone
So it is hard to say where the citizens
ticket expects to g,sr its strener h. but that
there is a citizens ticket movement on
foot is generally accepted as true The
evident purpose of those who are behind
the citizens moVemt mt is to cause a split
IN the democratic p!Irty if they possibly
can, and thereby draw the votes of the
disgruntled faction. If such is their idea
ana 1t apparently is. they will get badly
left for never before have the democrats
OF Anaconda been morr in harmony than
lhcy are to-day. There may be some
friendly rivalry inside the party lines for
the nominations. but nGvcr will tho dem
ocrats permit IA split in their ranks that
rlip1a ms ~
drive it in.
