THE MAYOR-ELECT'S SLATE
MEN THAT HE NOW HAS UNDER CON
SIDERATION THERE MAY
BE CHANGES.

AS the result of numerous conferences with
leading citizens and of studying into the quail
fcatiens of men who have been brought to mis-
attention as available candidates for office
Mayor-elect Low has decided on almost all of
his appointments But he does not wish to make
his slate public until the latter part of this
month. so that he may be able to substitute an
other man in any place in case he finds that the
one whom he first selected has marked disqual-
ifcations For instance, in the of the last
two or three days two men who had been sa ted
for certain offices have been dropped because
Mr. Low learned of facts concerning them which
proved in his opinion that they ought not TO
have the appointments.
The Tribune is able TO say good authority
that Mr.. Low is considering the following
slate in which, of course. changes may be made
later:
