There was a large attendance and the
plans for future work were freely dis
cussed. The ticket selected is quite
strong one and will certainly meet the
approval of the voters. There is no OPP
position for either branch in this ward.
The race for the nomination for city
clerk on the Democratic ticket has
been somewhat simplified. Mr.. w. H.
Paul, who has been opposing Mr.. Fred
w. Colmar, and who was the Demo
cratic nominee two years ago, yester-
day announced his withdrawal from
the contest. This leaves the field to
Mr. Colmar, who will secure the DEM
cratic nomination without opposition.
A register reporter had an inter-
view with Mr.. Paul in which he said:
81 find that it is impossible for me
to contest for the nomination for city
clerk. Private affairs that l am in
terested in will not permit. l retire
in favor of Mr.. Colmar, my competi-
tor, who has my hearty support AS
to the rumor of my being appointed
assistant city clerk in the event of his
election, it is campaign fabrication
pure and simple and is without the
slightest foundation
