CLACCETT HAS FIGHT

The failure of the First and Eighth

together at an informal caucus held in

likely result in strenuous contest in

pected, although it was contended by
we'll posted members that il the dis
tricts could not reach an agreement
the selection would be left to the mem
bers of the caucus, allowing the most
popular man to win
The First district has as a candidate
for sergeant-at-arnsA Albert H. Spring,
while the Eighth district desires to land
e. d. Claggett for the same position.
The Eighth district also has in Mrs.
Josephine Libbott candidate for as
sistant postmistress. The First district
asked that the Eighth choose the can
didate 1t preferred to have elected,
with the belief that Mrs. Libbott would
be the favorite. The proposal did not
carry, and the caucus adjourned with
out having accomplished definite re-
suits. The slate that seems most gem
orally agreed upon is:
The First district proposes Albert H.
Spring for sergeant-at-arms, the Sec
ond district has as candidate Knute
clerk and w. E. Edwards as assistant
sergeant-at- arms; the Third proposes
Mrs. j. S. Vandiver for postmistress
and Barney Seis for assistant sergeant
alarms; the Fourth asks that Arthur
Gaines be elected enrolling clerk; the
Fifth has as its candidate Adolph
Johnson for first assistant chief clerk; ;
the Sixth desires that Rev. T. F. Cop
per be chosen chaplain; the Seventh
has Frank Clague as speaker, and asks
the election of Julius A. Schmahi as
chief clerk; the Eighth asks that E. d.
Claggett be made sergeant at arms
and that Mrs. Josephine Libbott be
chosen assistant postmistress; the
Ninth seeks to elect j. b. Thompson
