The delegates were asked to use
their influence for Conrad Schneider
for the collectorsnip nomination. A
resolution was passed favoring
a member of the central committee
for each precinct instead OF one from
each ward. The names of \. q. An
derson and George Wallick were men,
toned as aspirants for aldermanic
hororS. A vote showed Anderson to
be the favorite of the meeting.
Tonight more fixing will be done in
the Second, Third and Fifth wards
Monday evening the preliminary work
of the Fourth ward primary will be
disposed of. This is all done, of
course, so that the faithful will not
have to worry about who they should
vote for for city-township delegates.
It's real nice as well as accommodate
