UNPLEDGED DELEGATION
TO MUNICIPAL CONVENTION

There was lot of talk yesterday of
electing unpledged delegations to the
Republican municipal convention. The
ward delegation may be pledged to the
support of some candidate for alder
manic honors, but according to the talk
the head of the ticket should be cho-
sen spontaneously in the convention.
In view of existing conditions there
are a number of men who say they
would like to see the plan tried. Wheth-
er the spontaniety anticipated in the
choice of a candidate according to this
method would result remains for time
to determine The caucuses will be
held Nov. 49, and the convention Nov.
%. There are men who say there is d
strong likelihood that many delegates
would go into the convention with
their minds made up as to their choice,
in fact that considerable manipulation
might result between the date of the
caucuses and the day of the conven-
ton.
If the plan is carried through, as
talked, considerable care will be used
in the selection of delegates, and the
best men possible will be secured to
represent the several wards.
