clared in favor of Candidate Trantham
by the executive committee. His op-

with the committees action and, 1t ts
stated, will make the race next Tues
day, running as an Independent candi-

followed her husband few days later,

a watch, q handsome silver one, lying
in the street. She Immediately made
