The republicans of Denison met in
caucus last night and the following are
the nominees which the republicans of
the various wards have, placed before
the people:
lsts Ward ------------.. Samuel Luney
Sprecher
End Ward G. johnson
Bird Ward w. 7. Wright
T. J. Garrison
The caucuses we're largely attended
showing the Spirit of enthusiasm which
prevails among the republicans of the
city and though all the candidates
were not elected, we have heard of no
sore spots and we do not doubt, but
that the nominees will receive the
hearty support of all the republican of
thelcity. DR.. Wm. Iseminger acted as
chairman of the first ward caucus
i Mr.. Sam Luney WAS renominated with
out opposition and for the short term
Mr.. G. Sprecher was nominated with
practically the same unanimity. The
first ward is the banner republican
ward of the city and there will be no
difficulty in electing the candidates
especially as both are edeservedly popu-
lar.
The second ward caucus was the
largest ever held by the republicans of
iShat, ward. Every man present was
heartily in favor of the reorganization
of Mr.. q. G. Johnson. who has been
one of the most effective men ever Or
the city council, Alderman A. H,
Brown presided over the caucus and
Mr.. johnson was nominated by ac-
clamation. He made, neat little
speech of acceptance and his remarks
were followed by short talks by Messrs.
Brown and Meyers. The republicans
of the second ward realize that they
must work if they expect to elect their
candidate and they are ready and con.
tident for the fray.
The third ward caucus was presided
over bv Hon. L. D G. Lally. Dr.-W.
L. Wright was re-nominated without
opposition. An informal ballot was
taken for a nominee to fill vacancy and
showed that Mr.. T j. Garrison was
largely in the lead and on motion the
I informal ballot was made formal and
Mr.. Garrison was declared the nom
inee.
- 1t is hardly necessary at this time to
4 speak Of the merits of the candidates
sMessrs. ,Luney, johnson and Wright
/ have served with great credit on the
. last council and fully deserve the sup.
port of the citizens of Denison. 1t is
true that the city is not in good shape
financially, but this is not the fault Of
the present council who have done
nothing beyond what the growth OF
the city required. Within the past
two years Denison has made rapid
growth cityward. Permanent improve
.ments have been necessary and the
council wisely thought that it was
time to abandon the old system oil
patching and to do work of a lasting
nature and that would be of perma-
nent benefit to the city. The coming
of the railroads entailed the opening
OF new streets and transferred the
t'affic into new directions where re.
pairs had to be made. We believe the
people are ready to stand by the coun
Gil In these improvements and to show
that Denison has faith in it's future
and is not afraid to build and do be-
yond the absolute necessities of the
hour.
In the first ward Mr.. G Sprecher is
one of the Oldest residents of Denison
He has been identified with. all the in
terests Of the city and has done his
{ share toward the growth and develop
ment of the town. For many years he
was one Of the trustees of Denisor
township and in this capacity he has
gained valuable experience in the
management of public affairs. He IS q
conservative and careful man in his
own affairs and he would be equally
watchful of the city's interests. Nc
better choice could have been made.
Mr. = j. Garrison is one of the
largest Taxpayers in the third ward
He has shown his appreciation Of Den.
ison by erecting here one of the finest
residences nthe city. He is man 81
ability, lawyer of eminence, and his
legal opinion as member of the coun.
