GUS wards and precincts of the county

Last night the different headquarters
for those politically interested were like
the busy marts of trade, with all con-
stantly moving about from one group to
another and showing plainly the interest
manifested in the event. 1t The Hanhat-
tan hotel. the principal meeting place
of the leaders, everyone was on the qui
vive, the candidates guiltily sounding the
different delegations and the delegates
putting themselves in possession Of the
different points and comforting with each
other At some time during the evening
nearly every prospective candidate whose
name will come before the convention was
present and sought to gain some idea of
his strength by minsling in the crowd
1t was generally understood that the
unsuccessful candidates in thursdays
were still in the race and would all al
low their names TO be presented at the
convention Not all of them made an ap-
pearance but those who did We're candid
IN their statements as to the position
each took and expressed an intention of
remaining till the end.
Frank Ford. of the third ward. who is
making a fight for the nomination for
county clerk, when asked if he would
allow the primary vote to determine his
chance of success was emphatic in his
denial He said: you may state for me
that / have no intention of withdraw
ing from the race. My name viii be pre-
scented at the convention, and notwith-
standing the result at the primaries,
In my mind at least, was irregular, l feel
confident of success"
The other unsuccessful ones at the
primaries did not express themselves so
forcibly but ii is certain that without
exception they will be presented.
As yet there is no definite idea as TO
who viii preside at the convention. Sew
eral names prominent in local politics
are mentioned as possibilities for the
chair but none seem to be in any measure
q certainty.
