THE REPUBLICANS
Put out Partial Ticket for City
Offices to Contest Next Month.

OrIlCeS 10 COnteSt Next WOntH'
A call for a meeting of Republicans at
the court house last Saturday evening to
nominate Republican city ticket was
issued last week. The attendance when,
the meeting was called to order was not
large one. DR.. H. G. johnson was
chosen to preside over the meeting, and
then the question of the advisability Of
nominating a full ticket was discussed.
There were several who favored such a
move, but the majority were opposed to
naming any candidates except for the
Offices of mayor, recorder and treasurer,
and the following were nominated for
these positions:
Mayor. Neal.
Recorder-A M. Orrick.
Treasurer-Gilliam Yoes.
The Office of chief Of police was left
open, likewise the positions of council
men, it being, no doubt, the intention
to use them for the purpose of attracting
Democratic votes to the portion Of the
Republican ticket nominated.
The ticket nominated Is representative
Of the best element Of the Republican
party in Van Buren and will no doubt
poll the full strength Of that party, but
they are Republicans, and while The
PRESS numbers them among Its friends
1t will be compelled to oppose them in
the race.
