GETTING READY
Tor CONVENTION
Wilson and Ankeny Fac
tiOns Want Straight
Ticket in Field.
CROP OF CANDIDATES.
Claim IS Made That Sanders is
Backed by Majority of the
Primary Delegates.
CROP OF CANDIDATES.

Both the Wilson and Ankeny fac
tions of the republican party agree
today that straight republican
ticket is to be put in the field by the
republican convention, scheduled to
assemble at the courthouse tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
In the race for mayor five candi-
dates have been mentioned. Ed Sand
ers and L. Frank Boyd are the most
prominent in the list of those named,
and 1t is claimed that Mr.. Sanders
is backed by a majority of the dele
gates selected at the republican pri-
maries last night. Mr.. Boyd is be-
ing doomed by United States Marshal
Charles Hopkins and a strong follow
ing which has sprung up during the
past SO hours.
The other candidate possibilities
are Van B. De Lashmutt, o. L. Ran
kin and Councilman Frank Johnson.
Mr.. De Lashmutt's friends figure that
he has an exceptionally strong chance
for the nomination, especially If more
than one ballot is taken. Mr..
Rankin is being strongly urged by his
friends to accept the nomination. and
it. is argued in his behalf that he
would carry the business support of
the city.
Friends of each of the five men
named have been actively working all
day today trying to win a majority OF
the delegates.

can situation developed today when
it was positively stated w. II. Acuf1

of republicans who were named as

convention.

STARTS WORK ON MILL
IN SPITE OF ORDERS

When Chief Myer went home last
night there was stAl no sign of a
start towards building the new struc-
ture, but when the chief arrived at
the city hall early this morning his
Jaw dropped some inches. Across the
narrow bit OF water dividing the city
hall from the mill was the erected
frame of a new structure. The clever
MIR. Carlson had placed Il number of
men at work during the night and
had the new mill well under way.
The chief fumed and issued orders.
1t was explained to him that the
new mill was to be covered with cor
rugated iron. but that suggestion did
not look good to him. The chief then
hurriedly notified the board of public
works. and the latter sent an officer
who stopped the building operation.

and two big burrows of worry have
