of Councilman George w. Banks, hav-
ing never been filled, his successor will
be elected next Tuesday for the full

Kalbach who were regularly nominated
at the September primaries. Opposing
them on the Democratic ticket are
Harry w. Cobb and Evans G. Slaugh-
ter. No petition was filed for the office
