There is likely TO be trouble over

fight VIII be made against George J..
Nye for the city attorney ship by
friends Of J. O NystrOrl. Frank Ma
thews, Chris 3. Diehi AMI others. The
reason therefor is herewith set forth.
Yesterday a new candidate for the
treasurership made his appearance in
the person OF c H. Wells Of the state
Bank of Utah.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Wells was in
duced by Mr.. Nye 70 enter the race.
He comes from the Fourth precinct
,S4l-s-lis-ss. iip-the FIRST; along with Wal
and G. D. Rookledge, who is out for
the treasurership. Mr.. Nye's purpose
in bringing Wells out was, it is claimed,

Il was the notion of the Nye PEOPLE

that this shall not be DONE 1t is given
sOut aUtboritatively that the real order
of norainations viii be mayor, auditor,
treasurer. recorder. judges and attor-
ney.
With this order it will be possible
for the anti-Nye men TO do enough

The treasurership nomination de-
ponds largely on circumsla nces. The
machine wants Rookledge. but Dick
WhittemOre says he is going 70 land

lee he has more than a fighting
chance.
For recorder J. o. Nystrom ought to
win. because he has not only the ma
