LEWIS MAKES STATEMENT.
Out in the Clear As Candidate For
Nomination-Glasmann Also
Issues Bulletin.

on Tuesday John S. Lewis, in a signed
statement issued TO the public through
the press, stated that he was not cam
dictate for the mayoralty but that if il
would add any strength 10 the ticket
ms name might be used. His announce
hent fell rather flat, coming as il did
practically on the eve of the convention
and after he had repeatedly denied being
IN the race, even going so far as 10
state that he would not accept the nom
lnaIion II II were rendered him. Yes
lefdays however. Mr. Lewis seemed 20
nave adopted the Glasmann scheme ana
Issued bulletin No , TO the effect that
he had consented to become a candidate
Tor the nomination for mayor. OF course
ne pleads that this step is taken at the
solicitation OF friends. but this influence
did not have sufficient weight until att
er Rudolph Kuchler mad announced his
candidacy.
Many Republicans predict that Lewis
will fall short of the nomination, which
Will likely go TO Kuchler It is diff
cult, however. 20 understand Glasmann
attitude in regard TO the mayoralty NOM
nation. His name was scarcely men
TONED In that connection yesterday, but
there are those who believe that he IS
playing his hand as previously planned
and that he has much TO do with the
game that is being played by Mr.. Lewis.
In a statement yesterday the mayor an
nOunced that when Lewis name was first
mentioned for the place that he was so
informed him that, providing Lewis
would give the central COMMITTEES his
first years salary. he would personally
advance several thousand dollars for
campaign expenses. This IN itself is
taken to mean that Glasmann wants the
credit, if there be any, for the stand
taken by Mr.. Lewis yesterday, which. il
IS believed, was assumed at u most M
OppOrtune time Last night the ina
cations were that kuChler would have
an easy time in landing the nomination
but there is no telling what surprise
will be sprung in the convention THIS
afternoon by the Glasmann forces.
The convention, which VIII be held a.
the court house at O'Clock this art
ernoon, promised last eight 10 be tame
affair. 1t is expected that the conNen-
ton Will be a large one so Tar as AT
tendance is concerned. but the fight that
was looked for on Jhe floor viii hardy
materialtze on account of the work .aSl
night of the harmOnZlng forces; &hlcu
it is understood. were successful III
bringing some of the warning factions
together. Early last evening" il was
thought that there would be fOur-cor-
uered fight Tor the MAJ crafty nomlhd-
ton. with Rudolph Euchler, john D
Lewis DR.. A. 5. Condor and William
GlaSmann as the principals. rms Iacl
promised to OVerShadOW all the olhef
features, but il is now believed tina
there Will be little if any contention 10
the nomination Of Euchler who VIII pc
nominated ON the first ballot aud prob
ably by reclamation.
A spirited fight is looked Tor between
Mrs. Florence Stanford and Mrs. En-
lily N Booth for the nomination for city
auditor. with the chances in favor OF
the former.
j. +. Bagley will have two opponents
for the nomination for city attorney

was in the lead last night, with Harms
a close second.
W. ]. CritchlOw will be opposed by
Miss Josie Kimbal for the nomination
for city recorder. The former will un-
dCubtedly be named by the convention.
J. f. Halyerson will he nominated for
city treasurer and John d. Murphy for
