Pursuant to above notice, the ward
caucuSes to nominate candidates for
ward offices and delegates to represent
the wards at the city convention to be
held at the city ball in the city of
Grand Rapids, on the Goth day of
March, 1901, for the Citizens Party.
are to be held on the 18th day of
March, 1901.
Owing to our plan of conducting
municipal elections, upon a non
partisan basis, these caIcuSes are very
Important, in fact a nomination for a
ward office at the caucus virtually
amounts to an election as there is
only one party ticket in the field, that
being the Citizens Party ticket and
the only opposition that the regular
candidates nominated can have is by
independent nominations. The voters
OF the city are therefor asked to make
it their business to attend the eau
cuSeS, as the larger the attendance at
the caucuSeS the better candidates we
are sure to get for the ward offices.
The delegates to the city convention
are also nominated at the caucus and
the action of the city convention in
nominating candidates for city offices
is practically an election to the offices
L
is therefor important that delegates
are elected to the city convention who
have the best interests of our city at
heart.
HOW TO CONDUCTA WARD CAUCUS.
The ward caucus must be kept open
at least one hour and pursuant to above
notice the ward caucus must be open
at the hour of 7:15 O'Clock p. m. and
must continue until the hour Of Sis
O'Clock p. IN.
AT 1:l5 O'Clock p. M. the chairman
of the ward committee if present
should call the meeting TO order and

the chairman of the ward committee
is not present, a chairman of the
caucus should be chosen by the
electors present from among their
number, a secretary Of the caucus and
