MayoraI Situation Grows
Complicated.

Republican leaders of the Fourth and
Seventh wards met last night and
fixed up states that the voters of their
party are supposed to stand by next
week whether they like the complexion
of them or not.
The postoffioe was very much in
, evidence at both gatherings, sudden
squirt of activity that is probably ac-
counted for in the near approach of
the expiration of the term of the pres
ent postmaster, who naturally expects
to be retained four years longer.
The Fourth ward seance was held
in room on the second floor of the
Masonic temple. After Postmaster
T. III. Thomas had been appointed
chairman and NJ. Nj. Sturgeon secre-
tary, Aid. Charley Willis turned on
his holiday smile and nudged his fell
| lows that he was there to receive any
encouragement they might feel dis
posed to hand him. And so they in
. dorsed Charley for denomination.

Candidates Boost Themselves.
Then followed a season of speeches,
William Kennedy and i. I. Knox
boosting their mayoral booms, o. +
Cramer, w. ID. Gall and A L. Nelson
telling what good police magistrates
they would make, j. w. Tubbs ask
ing support for the collectorship
nomination, William Lucklum for
assistant supervisor and G.. P. Nissen
for assessor. The decision of the
board OF education in ordering the re-
moval of the old No. school was
criticised. it is the only building
meetings and elections, and it was de-

action of the board rescinded.
In some quarters. as result of last
nights republican meetings, it is
claimed Knox has the lead in the race
for mayor, and while the friends of
the administration are not boasting,
it is understood they are laughing up
their sleeves, and simply ask the I'M
easy to wait for the convention. For
instance, the Fourth ward delegate
ticket does not look as if it would pass
up an opportunity to cinch McCono-
CHIEFS nomination. The Seventh and
Sixth ward delegates are said to be
pledged to Kennedy, with Knox as
second choice.
