ANOTHER TICKET IN FIELD.
Enthusiastic Mass Meeting Is Held BY
cullman Citizens.

Cullman, March 11.-(Special about
200 citizens of Cullman met at Kullman's
hall last night and nominated a ticket for
mayor and other city officials This
makes two full tickets IN the field the
first having been selected at a mass meet
irg at the county court house as an
nounced In these dispatches yesterday.
The Cullman brass band was out last
night and there was a lively demonstra-
ton with fireworks on the streets just be-
fore the meeting. The present administra-
ton was strongly endorsed and Mayor
George j. Boyer was renominated by ac-
clamation for reelection. In a brief adj
dress Mayor Boyer thanked the people
for their hearty support and evidence of
confidence, and made a brief review of
the work of the administration. He
showed that when he went into office two
years ago the city was suffering tinan-
eially on account of having just estab-
lished city water works and electric lights.
The administration had bent its en-
ergies to the paying of debts and put
ting the town in good shape for future
improvements. 1t had SO far succeeded
that the town was now out of debt and
had some money In the treasury.
A nominating committee was appoint
ed which retired and named candidates
for council and other offices. The follow
ing names were brought in by the COM
mittee and confirmed by the people pres
ent: For councilmen, c. A. Stiefelmeyer,
Adam Dreher, Jr., A. Helt, c. L. York,
r. T. Lee and Leroy McEntire For
clerk. f. b. Wallace; for treasurer, Will
