PROBABLY MARCH.
Republican City Primary Date to Be
Fixed

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Republican city central COM
mittee has been called for 4 p. m. We'd
nesday and will probably be held in a
committee room at the city hall. 1t
is the preliminary to opening the Re

that the Republican city primaries will
be held during the second or third
week in March. Only members of the
city council and board of education
will be elected this year and thus far
candidates have been few. In one or
two wards there may be fights for the
office of councilman. but in the First
where DR.. L. A. Ryder will come UP for
election to the office in which he is
now serving under appointment in the
Sixth where the law and order people
the Fifth where Samuel T. Howe Will
be candidate for reelection with
but one candidate against him, the
contests will be one sided.
In the Third ward there is said to be
considerable disposition to put up
fight against Councilman C. V. Wolf
who was accidentally" elected two
years ago by the women OF the ward.
He was used to defeat M Snattinger
and his name was not placed on the

Charles K. Holiday is now more than
a possibility in the race for the nomi-
nation of representative from the
Thirty eighth district composed of the
Second, Third and Fourth wards in the
city.
When Mr.. HOLIDAY was first men
toned he announced that he did not
wish to make the race but since then
he has been urged to enter the cam
paign. He has been promised the sup
port of many influential citizens in
each of the three wards and he stated
today that he is wavering. Mr.. Holli-
day left today for Chanute but will re-
turn in a few days in time to enter his
name as candidate before noon on
Saturday. 'I do not know what l shall
do said Mr.. Holiday this morning.
ut is rather hard to get away from
the gentlemen who have been urging
me to make the race. I shall return be-
fore Saturday and will then decide
what I shall do
Mr.. Holiday lives in the Second ward
and should he be a candidate he would
poll an exceedingly large vote in his
home ward besides the large following
he would have in each of the other
wards.
