his men to another room in the fire
engine house and held a caucus of his
own.
The result is that in Ermina pre-
cinct, where there are $50 voters,

were some 40 delegates nsminated, as
each side put up full list of 20
delegates.
Both tickets were filed with the

The present indications are that
Fred Blomberg for city comptroller
will have a walkaway as against
Michaels, and there is strong chance
of the nomination of w. II. Wiscomb

The Acuff forces are trying to trade
for Michaels and Hinckley, for
comptroller and city treasurer, but
this is another Spokesman-Review
deal which the voters are determined
not to swallow.
Colonel Ed. Sanders, the carnation
candidate, is wholly out of the race.
Colonel Tom Smith, although off
the central committee, is still in the
saddle and his footprints were easily
discernible in several deals last night
which will practically give him con-
troll of three or four precincts.
The big majority of republicans
and advocates of liberality in city
government are convinced that

FACTORY MEETINGS

Under the auspices OF the Minis

taken up by the preachers and church
workers of the city.
At a meeting of the alliance last
Monday the ministers proposed, as an
experiment. that three of the preach
ers hold noon meetings at two or
shree of the several factories and
mills of the city to test the advisable
ity OF making noon meetings a per-
manent part of the work.
In accordance with this plan noon
meetings were held yesterday at the
Union Iron works and at Mussey's
mill and the committee today reports
that the results we're most encourage

A novel proposition was made by

ter's court this morning.
1t was in the trial of the cases Of
A. M. Aiken and Charles E. Solomon
against the railroad company, in
which the plaintiffs are suing for
damages to their land.
The railroad attorneys offered this
morning to provide a special train
for the use of the judge and jury
to convey them to the land near Mi
Ian to survey the property claimed
to have been damaged.
Judge Poindexter took the PROPOSE
ton under advisement.
