CITY POLITICS,
A So-0alled Citizens Ticket Agreed Upon
Rv the democrats.

Last evening a meeting, attended
mostly by Democrats, and also a few
others who have heretofore not been
selecting a Democratic city ticket,
which Is to be called a citizens ticket,
So far the following nominees have
been agreed upon: For mayor, j. II.
Sloan, Democrat; for treasurer, Charles
Haspelmath, Democrat; clerk, c. B,
Conklin; alderman in the first ward,
Nicolas Baca; for member of the board
Of education. Jose Valdez. Alderman In
the second ward, Marcellino Garcia;
member of the board Of education, Pc.
dro Quintana. Alderman in the third
ward, Charles Wagner; member of the
board of education, Jose Sanchez. Aid
erma In the fourth ward, Arthur Selig-
man; Gus O'Brien and Nestor Rodri-
guez, members Of the board of educa-
ton. Some of these are Republicans
and it is very doubtful If they will ac-
cept these nominations. 1t Is ais UNI
derstood, in case this ticket will be sue
cessful, that Gus O'Brien is to be clerk
of the board of education, and that Pro-
lessor Wood, principal of the city
schools, is to be displaced; also, that
the man who Is to displace Professor
Wood is already selected, as he is a res
ident here. 1t is reported that among
the list of names, agreed to support this
ticket, are some men who have been
heretofore prominent Republicans. The
New Mexican, however, has learned
that several of those who signed the
call for a citizens meeting in the first
place found that the movement was to
be used for the election of a Democratic
city government, have withdrawn, and
will not act with the movement, but
will vote the Republican ticket.
On the Republican side it is not de.
cided who will be named as candidates
for city officers, but it is becoming APP
parent that good nominations will be
made, and that all good citizens will find
it to their interest to support the Repub-
lican nominees. The Republican pri'
maries will be held tomorrow evening
in the four city wards, and the CITY con-
vention will be held Saturday forenoon.
Several prominent Republicans have
come to the conclusion that the Demo
cratic citizens movement is simply a
cats paw to haul the Democratic chest
nuts out of the fire, and they have with
drawn from the movement in disgust.
John v. Conway. who has made a
good record as member Of the board OF
| education, and as it's clerk. may be a
| candidate for the same office in the
| third ward. If he accepts the nomina-
ton he will be elected.
1t is said that If the Democrats
should be successful next Tuesday thai
T. P. Gable is again to fill the Office OF
city marshal at a salary of $500 and
perquisites. A nice thing for Gable, but
rather hard on the taxpayers.
The Republicans of ward No. 3 VIII
likely nominate Sam G.. Cartwright for
member Of the city council. Good
| enough. Such men are needed for the
city council and will do the city some
good,
This afternoon it is said that the
Democrats have made a change in Their
plans, and will nominate Marcellno Gar
cha for treasurer; also Pedro Q%uintaniI
for city council and Ed. Haines for the
board Of education in the second ward
1t is understood thai the Republicans
nominated on the citizens ticket last
evening by the Democrats will nearly
all, If not all, decline the honors thrust
| upon them without their will and con.
sent.
Jose Sanchez, who has been selected
by the Democrats for member of the
OOdiu VI CuuSdIioA M WdIu D. 10 Cll-
ployed in the office of Secretary Wal
lace. He has heretofore been Republic
IN In politics.
Jose Valdez, a young mar favorably
known In the city, Is being named by
his friends for the Republican nomina-
ton as city clerk.
w. J. Mcpherson is being talked of by
the Republicans as a probable nominee
for city treasurer or city clerk.
s. f. Lankard may be substituted for
Arthur Seligman for Democratic nomi-
nee in the fourth ward.
