There was q large crowd out t
the mass meeting Saturday night
which was called at the city hall FOL
the purpose of nominating a full
corps OF men to fill the various ofiices
soon to be made vacant by the out
going city ofhcials. 1t is generally
understood that the men who were
nominated for these ofiices favor 9
wide open" policy in connection
with the city government. Theil
platform, however. does not contain
such clause. One of the men who
was placed upon the ticket has since
refused to allow his name to go be-
fore the citizens on the alleged "busi.
ness mems ticket" He said he did
not object to the personnel Of the
ticket. but did not approve Of the
manner In which the various candi.
dates were nominated. The gentle
man referred to IS Charles Marsh
Mr.. Marsh was nominated for coun.
Gilman at large. He was not present
at the convention. His friends
however. told him how things were
run, and he expressed open disap-
prOval Of the entire proceedings, and
at once notified the executive commit.
tee to withdraw his name from the
ticket.
II will not run upon such ticket
said Mr.. Marsh; mot that object
to the personnel of the nominees, but
I don't believe In railroading things
through public convention, such as
characterized the mass meeting last
Saturday night"
The committee wLich was appoint
ed to fill vacancies in case any should
occur on the ticket, Is composed of
Vestal Snyder, 2. Y. Coleman and
w. M. Thompson. They have not
yet selected a man to take the place
of MIR. Marsh.
The manner in which the candi-
dates were nominated last Saturday
evening will not reflect any great
credit ON the business mans tick
et." It was certainly a cut and dried
proposition, as the following account
will no doubt convince the Herald's
readers:
At o'clock Will Thompson was
nominated Chairman of the conven-
ton. He accepted the honor with a
few brief remarks: He appointed q
committee ON order Of business as
follows: Vestal Snyder. Murray B..
Miles and ]. N. Null. The commit
tee on resolutions was composed Of
c. e. Forsythe, c. Van Brunt and z.
Y. Coleman. Some one or some ones
had already drawn up the resolutions,
for when the committee was ready to
report, Secretary Fred Chandler arose
and read the platform of the con-
vention, which had been handed to
him In typewriter form. The re-
ports OF the committees on order of
business and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the convention.
The chairman then declared NOM
nations for the ONCE of mayor omen.
Some one nominated Walter J, Reed.
1t was seconded. Immediately It was
moved to close the nominations. Ev-
erybody SEE ,nded the motion. Chair
man Thoml q instructed the secre-
tary to cast Q ballot OF the conven-
ton for Wa. sr J. Reed. J. G.
BROKER was next placed in nomina-
ton for city clerk. The same pro-
ceedfng was gone through with In his
case. a. in fact in that OF every other
nominees name VINO 10 now repre-
sented on the ticket. No one had
any chance with the slate. Most Of
the men were placed in nomination
by Vestal Snyder. and he either
moved or seconded that the nomina-
lions be declared closed in every in
stance.
The program was carried out 10
the letter. The slate went throush
with roar. and It Just required
twenty minutes to do up the whole
J0D. Some Of the citizens Who we're
present. who went there to see n con-
sentative ticket nominated came avav
with doubtful expressions a. 10 the
probable fate In store for the MONT
nees. Following II the platform. or
resolutions. adopted:
This shall BE- known a. the Busi-
ness Mems Ticket"
We believe In that course Of nd

tend to the continued Advancement.
prosperity and wealth Of this con.
munity. and will effect the ereeteet
good to the greatest number OF our
citizens.
I'VE favor . business policy that
