On the face of the returns from the
primary elections held yesterday by the
Repu blicans and Democrats, DR. Walter
Lindley and Arthur c. Harper will have
a walk-over for the nominations for
mayor at their respective party con-
ventions next week..
AS near as can be estimated each Of
the leading candidates for mayor will
have from so to 80 per cent of the dele
gates in the respective conventions.
In the Republican convention there
will be number of men favorable to
the Endorsement of Lee C. Gates, the
nom partisan nominee for mayor, but 1t
is conceded by his friends that he can
not hope to secure the nomination over
DR.. Lindley
1t is known also that DR.. J. W. Jones
will have a representation, and his
friends declare that developments may
appear within the next few days which
will materially alter the appearance of
things.
Several Contests Probable
While Indications point to the nomi-
nation of men for other Offices who are
known to be friendly to Lindley, 1t is
probable that there will be several con-
tions.
]. H. Shoulders is practically con-
ceded the nomination for treasurer, al
though II. D. Osborne and D. r.. Bar
clay will be in the fight until the end.
For city attorney, George Bebee will
be the nominee, although Leslie Hewitt
will have a number of friends in the
convention.
On the face of the returns possibly
rs per cent of the delegates will be
friends of City Clerk Lelande, but the
powers that be still insist that Andrew
Francisco will receive the nomination
For tax collector. the same powers say
that 70. II. Johnson will be renominated,
but this is disputed by w. b. Morgan,
who insists that he will win out.
Evan Lewis will have no opposition
for denomination as assessor.
In the councilmanic fights. these
are conceded: First ward,
Charles j. Let's: second, e. A. Clam
pitt: third, Sidney W. Hitler, seventh,
Jesse r. Shafer: eighth. Bernard Healy.
ninth, B. L. Blanchard
Hitler Defeats Two
Let's and Clampitt, Healy and
Blanchard had no opposition. while
Hitler defeated Francis A. Ralph and
Walter ]. Wren. the Republican nom
partisan nominee.
In the Fourth ward w. II. Gilbert ap-
pears to be i'm the lead, although he
was defeated i'm his own precinct by
NJ. p. Nolte A. II. Armstrong was n
strong candidate, and the fight will be
between these three in convention.
In the Fifth ward the contest was very
close between Seth Hart and A. ].
Wallace, the Republican non-partisan
nominee. Hart is said to have forty
two delegates. Wallace forty and eleven
with the indications that
enough will go TO Hart to nominate
him on the second ballot.
The fight in the Sixth ward was a
hot one and the contest will not be
settled until one or more ballots are
taken In convention. A. T. Cumming
and f. Bunger appear to be out Of the
race. leaving II. II. Younkin In the
lead, closely followed by Andrew Hen
derson and U. S. G, Todd.
