the rooms more attractive ahd hohle-
like for the patrons.
Many of the changes have been sug-
gested by Secretary E. j. Westlake.
They include a diningroom arrange,

ry director, three republicans; school
director, four republicans, one demo
crat; mayor, two republicans, one dem
ocrat; controller, one republican: treas
urer, one republican; alderman, four re-
publicans, one democrat.
Mr.. Westlake took particular notice
of the absence Of seekers after certain
offices and Of representatives Of certain
! parties on the list. He intends to get
out sample ballot for the information
