The "mass convention" advertised
to take place at the court house on
Wednesday evening, to nominate can
didates for city officers brought out
only a small attendance. The most
Of the men present-and some OF the
women-were attracted only by curl
osity and there was no enthusiasm TO
speak OF. No speeches were made and
no statement was submitted as TO the
line Of policy upon which the city gov
eminent would be conducted If the
ticket was successful
: The convention was called to order
at $40 by E. E.Donly. E. ]. Scott was
chosen chairman, and Rev. Stevens
secretary.
Newton Krow asked permission TO
read a"set Of resolutions" Permission
was granted. The resolutions revealed
the startling information that city
election would be held in Goodland
April 2; that for the good Of the city
and its citizens only good men should
be nominated for city officers; that the
name Of the ticket nominated by the
mass convention should be christened
citizens ticket" After Mr.. Krow had
finished reading the "whearases and
resolves" the convention was asked
to adopt the resolutions, andthey were
adopted.
Nominations for mayor brought out
the names Of J. S. EIlenberger, William
Hogeboom and z. Thorson. Ballot was
taken and the vote stood: .Ellenberger,
Is; Hogeboom, Z; Thorson,L Thomas
P. Leonard, H NJ. Floyd and g. n.
O'Brien we're each given a compliment
tary vote. The Office of police Judge
brought out only one candidate, Thorn
as P. Leonard, who was nominated by
reclamation. For the Office Of city
treasurer W. Ennis and B. T. Brown
were named. Ennis withdrew. Brown
was nominated by reclamation. For
treasurer board Of education, ". S.
Coleman, the only nominee, was chosen
by reclamation. NJ. D. Cuthbertson
was nominated for justice Of peace.
Two constableships were passed.
The members of the convention from
the different wards got together and
nominated the ward officers. The re-
suit was:
First ward-Councilman. c. E. Svarts; mem
Der board education, E. z. Murphy.
Second ward-Councilman. Robert Lsnon;
member board education, ". P. Brinker.
Third ward-COuncllman, W. HogebOOm;
councilman, unexpired term, Z. z DOoly;
member board education. P. J. Mcbride.
Q. Z. SwaTts, who was nominated for
councilman from the First ward, says
he will not consent to run for the Office.
The convention also made a mistake
in nominating w P Brinker as candi-
date for board Of education in the Sec
ond ward. Mr.. Brinker is serving on
the board at present and his term does
not expire until another year There
were about "a persons present when
the ballot was taken for mayor. After
that nomination was made a good
macy left the room. There were Is
women present-an unlucky omen.
1t is said on good authority that an
other ticket will be nominated in oppO-
sition to the citizens ticket.
