to the effect that the Baker people are
satisfied with either Belts or Holman,
while the Burton forces would like some
other man. preferring a new candidate
However there is reason to believe
that the contest viii be limited to HOi-
man and Belts and it viii be an in

sonaI popularity. Of the two men. Mr..
Belts and Mr. Holman are the dyed

Mr. Belts IS a contractor. Mr. HOl-
man is the North side furniture dealer.
His picture IS in all Of the street cars
Mr.. Belts constructs the buildings;
Holman adds to the touches to the in
teriors.
Both men claimed to be unpledged for
senator. This has been accepted by
the politicians who now seem to favor
the elimination OF ths remaining can
didates thereby permitting the North
side men to have 1t out among them
selves. The primary will be held next
Saturday afternoon.
