SNYDER DESIRES PRESENT OFFICE
Says He Has No Ambition to Fiji the
Mayors Chair.

City Solicitor S. B. Snyder was not greatly
enthused yesterday over the proposition
that he be the republican mayoralty can
didate. He felt suspicious that there was
gentleman of color lurking somewhere in
the woOdpile and that il was deal to get
him out OF the race for a denomination for
his present office. His mayoralty boom,
Mr. Snyder said he suspected had been
started by the friends of one of the men
who are seeking the party nomination for
city solicitor.
Mr. Snyder said: Il do not want to be
mayor even If l could. The position is one
which / am not ambitious to I'LL. | have
made no secret OF the fact that l would like
to receive a denomination for city solicitor
and that is the only city Office that | would
care TO have | have no aspirations to be
mayor and therefore decline to be consid-
cred in any way a candidate for the ncni-
nation for that office"

bill the senators were in mood to do
business. Almost the nrst bill called up
was the Garst bill To prohibit Sunday base

amendment offered by Lewis to amend So
that Chautauquas, which depend on sun
day as the big day, could charge an ad-
mission on that day. Senator Saunders at
once got the floor and made a speech Of
about nifty words that probably killed the
amendment. He stated in brief that the
Chautauqua people being the leaders in all
good reforms. were the last to claim such
privilege and exemption and that the az
gument was no better than that for allow
ing the saloon to keep open the back door

Fire Chief Nicholson who returned from
Des Moines yesterday morning said there
was considerable talk there about the bill
to he introduced which would place cities
of 25,OD and over under a civil service law.
Des Moines is the only city in the state
now affected by it and Chief Nicholson.
who talked with a number of the members
of the legislature, found that they favored
an amendment extending the law to all
cities of 25OOO and over, which would in
clude Council Bluffs
The effect OF the passage of such an
amendment would be to place the fire and
police departments of this city under a
civil service commission which would con-
sist of three members appointed by the
mayor, two of whom would be republicans
and one democrat, one to be appointed
for two years. one for fou years and one
for six years. Promotions and appoint
ments would be solely upon merit and IA
member of either the police or fire depart
ment could only be removed for cause.
The appointment of the chief of police
| would, before, rest with the mayor
direct.
Chief Nicholson said that from the talk
| at Des Moines he felt confident such an
| amendment would be passed at the present
session of the legislature.
