Former Councilman Davis De-
clincs to Run for Mayor.
Councilman Potter to Shortly AM
nounce List of
Speskings.
YEIsER HAS NOTHING TO SAY.

Former Councilman G.. II. Davis
created some little surprise yesterday
morning by formally announcing In
response to call to run for the Dem
ocratic nomination for mayor, that he
had decided not to run. He was al
most persuaded to make the race until
late Saturday which many of his
friends knew, hence his declination
Sunday morning created considerable
surprise.
1t is told at the various political
headquarters that Mayor d. A. Yeiser
heaved sigh CT relief, when he heard
the news, That could have been heard
to Cairo, AID that he attended church
more regularly yesterday than for
ages. When asked about this today
he said he went to church but further
than this chad nothing TO say"
While Mr.. Davis does not say so.
some of his friends declare that the
Potter men were a little too enthusi-
astio over his prospective candidacy
and he smelled mouse. In other
words, they wanted him to run because
they thought it would split the Yeiser
support and insure Colonel Potter's
nomination.
4 great many rumors are fluating
about. 1t is reported that the Potter
men will exert every effort TO get out
somebody else when they think would
hurt Mayor Yeiser's candidacy. Coun-
Gilman Ed Harmon is freely mentioned
as a probable candidate, but he stated
today to reporter that he positively
would not run.
Colonel Potter announced today
that he would shortly announce a list
of speaking including one in every
ward of the city, and would invite
Mayor Yeiser TO be present and talk
back. a reporter subsequently
asked Mayor Yeiser if he would
make any speeches in the cam
paign and he said that he wouldn't
like to say until he had been invited.
To be more explicit aud more charac-
teristic that she had nothing to say"
1t is said the Potter men are going
to try to make the Issue one of moral
ity this fall, and will claim that May
or Yeiser has been Endorsed by the
whiskey men and has made them such
pledges that he is insured their sup
port.
The other men claim that the Pot.
ter crowd is logging on" the law and
order crowd to give the Yeiser admin
istration black eye, and that they
will begin trying TO use the material
they are gathering pretty soon in the
campaign in Colonel Potter's interest.
There are charges and counter charges
floating about, and a lot of good DEM
ocrats in Paducsh openly declare they
I intend TO vote the straight Republican
ticket if Republican who suits them
is nominated, or stay at home If one
is not.
1t is understood this afternoon that
a strong effort is being made to in
duce Mr.. Davis TO reconsider his de-
cision and vet make, the race. but
nothing definite has developed in re-
gard to his answer.

Taylor snort time ago passed a

ont TO be a forgery. Taylor was ar
rested, photographs taken and with a
description sent to the Publishers Of
the Detective. a police journal. The
Minneapolis authorities saw the pic

Tayl is the same man who forged
several checks in Minneapolis nearly

about in the same way.
Taylor, it was explained, would ap.
pear at the store in the garb OF a
painter, and. as previous to this a
message had been received over the
telephone that painter was coming
to secure an order of paint, the check
presented would be unsuspectingly
paid by the clerks. An investigation
made by the Minneapolis authorities
has convinced them that Taylor is the
Same man. II the suspicious Of the
Minnesota authorities are correct Tsy

Work on the Government Building
Addition Begins in
Earnest.
PART OF PosToFFICE CLOSED

The government building ward pre-
sents a scene of unwonted activity this
morning, work in earnest having be-
gun Oh the addition to the custom
house, which is to cost something near
800, 900 when complete. The tool
house and Office erected in the north
western corner of the yard has been
completed ana stairs have been con-
structed to one of the windows on the
north side of the building and it has
been converted into door for the
carriers and mail.
The west side, facing the new fra
ternity building, is to be closed today,
as excavations are to he made on that
side, which will prevent its being
longer used. This will effect quite a
change about the building, as that side
has been used by the carriers, mail
wagon drivers and others since the
building was completed many years
ago, and by the public on Sunday
when they went for their mail.
The yard is being filled with hoist
ing apparatus, machines of various de-
scriptions for handling the heavy ma
terial, and there are other things yet
TO arrive. Some delay was occasioned
by the burning of the Tennessee river
bridge, preventing the arrival of ma
terial and machinery, but there will
be little delay now.
Contractor Bailey says that he will
have the addition completed by next
June, which will make it a quick joh
There is always much bad weather in
winter, which will delay the work,
but Mr.. Bailey knows his business and
says his contract will be complete in
less than a year. The present govern
ment building required three years to
complete, but building methods have
greatly improved since then, and the
same amount of work can be done
much quicker.
Contracts for the one story addition
on the court of the Brook Hill build
