Discussed by Chairman of Democratic
City Committee.


Next October city officials are to be
elected, including mayor, city clerk. police
judge and twenty-one councilmen. There is
some dilatory talk concerning candidates.
but the majority of the politicians are op-
posed to going into city politics until after
the Legislature adjourns. This is the view
entertained by w. W. Spencer, chairman of
the Democratic city committee
Both parties" said Mr. Spencer, "are
pledged to the enactment of a primary cleo
tion law L hope to see the pledge fulfilled
1t strikes me that it would be a good thing,
also, to have a law passed limiting the ex-
penses of candidates and providing that they
file itemized and sworn statements showing
the amounts they expended before the con-
ventions and during the campaigns. Candi-
dates have been bled both by committees
and individuals. If there were a law pro-
hibiting them from expanding more than
certain amounts, the penalty being that it's
violation should disqualify them from filling
the offices for which they were running,
l think great good would be accomplished.
AS the action Of the Legislature may change
the laws both with regard to primaries and
election, l do not think we should think
about reorganizing the city committee until
the Legislature adjourns. For my part, /
am in favor of short campaigns, say sixty
days. The first Monday in August would
be early enough to hold the convention in
my judgment. l think the mayor, city clerk,
police judge and six councimen at large
should be nominated and a week later the
fifteen ward councilmen. 1 would so recon-
mend. OF course, 1 am ready to call for a
reorganization Of the committee as soon as
the executive committee may direct"
Mr. Spencer is in favor of a primary cleo
ton law which would permit only bone fide
members of a party, to participate in its
primaries. Whether this would be best Sc
cured by some sort of registration law as
Senator Joss sometime ago advocated, Mr..
Spencer said he was not prepared to say,
as ne had not given the subject careful re-
search. He is inclined to favor machine vot-
ing and believes that the time is coming

In the Superior Court yesterday J. M.
Martin brought mandatory proceedings
against the city of Indianapolis and City
Controller Johnson. Martin shows that the
city made a contract with the City Con-
struction Company in 1897 for the improve
ment of Sheldon street. In April, 1898, the
work was accepted and the assessment rolls,
amounting to $7,42714, were approved. A
large number of the property owners took
advantage of the Barrett law. The plaintiff
claims that the construction company as
signed it's claim on this work to him in pay
ment of money previously advanced by him.
He charges that the city controller has
failed to pay him assessments that are paid
into the hands of the city, and he wants the
official inundated to show why he should
not do So

shonId FiIe Petition.

1t is announced by the Board of Works
that those persons living on unimproved
streets which were not sprinkled last year
and who desire to have them sprinkled this
year should file petitions before Feb. l.
About that time the board will adopt speci-
fications on which bids for next year will
be received early in March. A statement
of the city sprinkling districts has been pre-
pared, showing the cost of sprinkling by
areas of 10000 square feet since 1892, when
the work began The figures of District
give fair idea of the average. In that dis
tTict the cost in 1882 was SAT; 1898, $98; 1894
$29; 1895, S26.70 1896, $24.9 1897, 5000, and
in 1898 $1770. The cost seven years ago was
little less than thrice what it was last
year.

The Suit against n. e. kinney.

The suit of the Lawrenceburg Roller Mills
against H. e. Kinney, a grain broker of this
city, went to trial yesterday in Room 1,
Superior Court. The suit grows out of
grain deal made in July, 1897. Kinney sold
the Lawrenceburg mills $4,000 bushels of
wheat, but only delivered about 5000. About
the time the delivery was made wheat adj
Yanced in price. Suit was brought against
heavily damaged by his failure to fill the
contract. The defense is that the wheat
was purchased of II. E. Kinney & Co..
corporation, and that the defendant is not
responsible for what that concern did. 1t
is charged by the plaintiffs that the com
pany' was only a pretense and that Kinney
was really the man who made the contract.
