] Supervisor from the Third ward.
So far as the news has been able to
learn there is but one man proposed for
mayor-R. S. Johnson. Mr.. Johnson
has not been a candidate for the Office,
believing that the office should seek the
man and not the man the Office. But
to the urgent request of the many
signers of nomination papers circulated
without his knowledge or consent, is it
difficult to do otherwise than to assent.
Mr.. Johnson has lived here ever since
Ladysmith was chopping in the wild
erness and is amply qualified to care
for the best business interests of the
city. He was mayor of New London
before coming to Ladysmith where,
The News is authoritstively informed,
he gave that city an admirable admins
tration.
John A. Corbett, the present head of
the city government heartily endorses
Mr.. Johnson-declining himself to be
candidate for reelection. To the re-
quest of friends, Mr.. Corbett has posi-
lively refused to be candidate.
For treasurer E. M. Worden is cand-
idate for reelection and thus far The
News has learned of no other candidate.
Mr.. Worden has conducted the bushes
of his Offices in first-class manner.
For alderman in the First (south of
the 500 raiiroad) the present incum-
bents, Messrs. Effner Nelson and j. M.
HAYES, are candidates with no appar-
ent opposition. Both have been close
attendants upon council duties.
For supervisor in the First ward a
petition is out for Frank Manley. Mr..
Manley will make an excellent member
of the county board.
In the Second ward (west Of Third
street, Steve Speidel and G. A. Porter
have been freely spoken of as material
for alderman ane H. L. Clark for sup
ervisor.
In the Third M. j. Shean, j. w.
Miller, Nate Hand, W. J. Kermott and
Dan Sabin have been suggested for
aldermen, and George w. Goocher for
supervisor. Mr.. Goocher should remain
on the council, when with Hayes and
Nelson returned there would be three
of the new council who would be fam
iliar with the matters left over from
the past year.
The other city officers are appointive
under the charter, but may be made
elective by petition of a majority of
the voters of the city.
