and who, while not fsvoring winnett on
other propositions, will do so because Of
Chief H9Agland.
His friends say there is no question but
that Winnett has been a sticker for a
closed up town and 1t was during his last
term, that the saloon license was increased
from $1,000 to $500. And yet the element
that is fighting Winnett claims tina he
has allowed the under world to cavort
around pretty much as 1t pleased. While
the Adams element asserts that Winnett
is too liberal in his Interpretation Of the
law in regard to certain parties, the Adams
faction has been and is called the liberal
element"
1t is known, however, that the Adams
candidates for members of the excise board
are in favor OF the lower license. The can
didates on the Adams ticket are Thomas
Hoskins. NJ. d. CIary and J. W.. Wolfe. The
first named has been Endorsed by the Cen
trail Labor union and is the laboring mems
candidate. 1t is charged. however, that he
was Endorsed at the instance Of the Bar
tenders union. Frank A. Wood and ]. c.
Harpham, running with Winnett, are In
favor of the higher license.
LUG NlnuCll mel Nlalm luhl the uBuL
on him is an effort Of the d. E. Thompson
element, which now controls the county
organization, to gain possession OF the
city administration To that end It has
a candidate In every ward In the city: A.
w. Stewart. William Lawler, J. w. Hensel,

shall, W. 8. Harlan for the council; Thomas
II. Pratt fore city clerk and Charles w.
Spears for tax commissioner Those who

Ter, Powell, Albers, Thompson. PentEer and
Pratt. b. f. Fox has NO opposition for
reelection as city treasurer.
Just how the ugh win terminate is hard
to predict with any degree OF certainty.
Both candidates for mayor are men OF
recognized ability and integrity and during
the, entire campaign nothing personal has
been said against either man. Long ago
each candidate opened headquarters and the
fight has been a warm one. 1t is not I'M
likely that a second primary will have ia
be held in order II nominate candidates
for the excise board, as the successful
candidate to be placed on the ticket must
receive a majority Of all the votes cast
