AIRY 18th, The MAJORITY conventin Is TOO
beld on February e0th. 1t has NOS been de-
cided as yet as to whether the mayoraity
convention Will be general caucus or BY
delegates. Formally the mayoralty con-
vention hAs been q general one. Ine he
rublicans have not as Jet settled upon
their caucus dates as in the majority Of
instances the officers. according to party
usage, are this year entitled TO a re-nom-
ination. therefore it is not matter OF
much consequence when the caucuses are
held, provided they are held in season to
comply with the law. Inc Democrats
havs 30 far as can be learned brought the
question OF nominee for mayor down
TO a selection between MIR. George W.
l. eighton and DIR. George Hawkea For
city CLERK the friends Of former clerk
W. NJ. Lamb are active In his support.
Mr.. Otis :. Trafton Is also understood 20
be a candidate, although he Is not max
ing a personal canvas Tor the nomina'
tion. Mayor Horr, the Republican may
or, is entitled to a denomination City
clerk e. IL. Smith, Republican, has
served in all three terms within the past
few years, but 1t is believed he Will be
renominated. Mr.. Frank p. Pride
young lawyer, is also mentioned as
possible nominee. The Citizens Will
probably not enter a ticket this year as
has teen the case during the past two
years. The Citizens are not making
much talk at the present time, so 1t Is
considered doubtful II they enter the race
this year.
