An EXCELLENT TICKET.
All Good Men Nominated at the
Citizens Caucus.
POLITICS NOT IN 1T.

The citizens caucus last Tuesday
night passed off as one Of the most har-
monious gatherings of the kind ever held
in Alma. Party lines were swept away
and il was the question of men for office
inste al of politics. There was consider.
able good natured rivalry between the
friends Of some of the candidates, but
after the nominations We're made and
the candidates decided upon there was
no ill-feeling remaining and all were
satisfied As the caucus was called by
the Republican village committee, Seth
Tubbs, as member of that committee,
called the caucus 10 order and upon mo-
tion Mr.. Tubbs was made the permanent
chairman. G. +. Brown was elected
secretary, while DR.. f. \. Bagley, \. j.
Hall and w. +. Wilson were appointed
tellers. Before calling the caucus TO or
der, Mr. Tubbs, in few brief words,
stated the purposes of calling at this
time citizens caucus the chief reason
being the fact of the growing sentiment
among all that politics be eliminated
from the management of the village
affairs. W. A. Bahlke was nominated
for president by acclamation as was also
w w. Kinch for clerk. For treasurer
there were three candidates: c. +.
Wilson, T. w. Marsh and I. +. Mills.
On the first ballot there was no choice,
but Mr.. Mills withdrew from the race
and on the rext ballot Mr.. Wilson was
nominated by small majority. V. NJ.
Wilson was nominated for assessor by
a clamation, there being no other
aspirant for the Office ON the first
for trustee there We're four
Geo. Sharrar, Chas. Fish
beck, l.. II. Hayt and VIM. DeMuth.
There was no choice on the first ballot,
but it was clearly shown that Mr. Fish
beck was far in the lead Of the rest, and
on the second ballot he was nominated !
without any trouble. For second trustee
l.. II. Hayt and VIM DeMuth were
voted upon and on the first ballot Mr. |
Hayt received the nomination. G. G. |
and VIM. DeMuth were pre-
sented for third trustee, but Mr.. Thomp- |
son won ont easily on the first ballot.
The entire ticket we believe meets
with the approval of the people, and as
it is the only ticket 20 be voted upon
the caucus was the same as an election.
All are good men, capable and honest in
their convictions, safe men TO place in
charge of the affairs of our village.
The chair, before adjournment, APP
pointed Dr. e. A. Bagley, l.. Ii. Hayt
and e. a. Bivins as a citizens village
