Today the Republican voters in every
ward and precinct of the city VIII eject
delegates to the Republican city conveh-
ton which meets next Wednesday at the
Armory for the purpose OF nonihatlhs
a full municipal ticket. The primaries
will open ut 4 o'clock and will close at y.
very large vote, 1t is expected, Will be
polled.
In the primary elections will eliminate
the days OF preparation and arduous lapor
which have been. put in for weeks past
by the champions OF the several aspirants
for the nomination for mayor. The strug-
gle has been interesting from the begin
ming and in many precincts the result, 1t
is believed, will not be known until AFTER
the delegates take their seats in the con-
yention and vote their choice Tor mayor
Probably the best feature of the fight, in
the opinion of party leaders, has been the
very large registration and the iact that
scarcely ever before in the city's history
have the Republicans taken deeper IN
terest in party affairs.
Until yesterday, as far as was known,
the names that would be brought before
the convention included those OF Mayor
Humes Harry Gordon, e. L. Blaine and
Justice Austin. In fact, the struggle for
precinct delegations has been carried on
solely between the friends of these candi-
dates.
For more than week past there has
been considerable talk of WIN III. Parry.
now city comptroller, as a candidate.
that at the expiration of his term he
would retire to private life and keep out
of active politics, the only condition, as
his friends understood, being that he
might accept the nomination for council
man-at-large.
Mr.. Parry has never publicly stated that
he would accept the nomination II is
known, however. that number of citi-
gems have persistently asked him to con-
sent to the use of his name Their argu-
ment has been that his candidacy would
unite all divisions of the party and that,
If nominated, he would certainly be elect
ed. They claim, In addition that his ex-
cellent record as an official his familiar
ity with municipal affairs and his strong
personal following would make him very
desirable candidate
Mr.. Parry's position. as stated yester-
day by his intimate friends is that he Is
not n candidate and does not desire the
nomination, but that IL he were nominated
by Republican convention, he would
feel that it was his duty to accept the
nomination.
In general way the situation as to the
prominent aspirants for the nomination
was unchanged yesterday. Naturally,
claims were made by the friends of Mr..
Gordon. of Mayor Humes, of Mr.. Blaine
and Justice Austin as TO what they would
do at the primaries which are to be held
today, and they all spoke confidently. A
thorough canvas of the city has been
made by the supporters OF all four cam
didates

Mass conventions were held last night
throughout the city, save in the First
ward, for the nomination OF candidates
for city council on the nonpartisan ticket.
II was not necessary to hold a convention
in the First. for in that ward Councilman
Navin, by order of Eugene Way. was nom
mated by the nonpartisan convention
last week.
In several OF the wards clubs were or
ganized for the purpose of forwarding the
principles advocated by the nonpartisan
league. As rule the meetings were
sparsely attended, the largest gathering
being that in Western Central Labor hall.
where between forty and fifty residents Of
the Fifth ward assembled
Returns were received by the nonpar-
tisan committee from all except the
Eighth ward; In every case. save posi-
bly, In the Eighth, the mass conventions
disregarded the nominations made by the
Democratic convention and named new
candidates.
In the Second ward the convention fall
ed to nominate. Adjournment was taken
until Monday evening.
In the Third ward F. 5. Southland, the
single taxer. was named.
NJ H. Heller one of the members of the
single tax propaganda, was nominated in
the Fourth.
In the Fifth ward A. L. Palmer was
named.
II. b. Drees was nominated in the Sixth
H. F.. Eggan. a carpenter in the employ
OF the Western mill, was named in the
Seventh ward.
In the Ninth ward the nominee was j.
M Wolf. formerly a member OF the board
of public works
The prominence given the single takers
in the ward conventions and on the ticket
was remarked last night by the members
OF the nonpartisan league. At least four
of the aldermanic candidates on the ticket
are members of the single tax propagan-
da. The single takers in several of the
caucuses were in the majority, and were
made officers OF the ward clubs
DR.. III. f. Titus, chairman of the nom
partisan campaign committee, made a
tour OF the city, speaking at several meet
ings In the Fifth ward a club was or
ganized, consisting Of twenty-five men,
