will be several sharp contests for the
honor of sitting in the city hall next

Today the nominating petition Of J.
A. Dunham, the lumber dealer on East
Rose street, was being circulated. Mr..
Dunham's friends have induced him to
become candidate for councilman
from the Third ward and have prom
ised him their undivided support. 1t
was also announced this afternoon
that Robert E. Johnson might be in
duced to try for the Office from the
Third ward.
Michael Toner is the latest posibil-
ity for councilman from the First
ward. A number of the taxpayers in
that portion of the town have ap-
preached the gentleman and offered
to boost for him if he will allow his
name to be used. Mr.. Toner so far
has not openly stated whether or not
he would seek the position, but his
friends are hopeful that he will run.
From the Second ward it has been

SAVES MONEY FOR PACKERS

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Heath
Commissioner Whalen's statement that
he instructed his inspectors not to in
terfere with the sale of tuberculosis
meat where disease in the meat was
local" has aroused a storm of ad-
verse criticism. His Office was today
besieged by physicians and health in
spectors who differ with Whalen.
The majority agreed it was exceed
ingly dangerous to permit meat from
diseased animals to be consumed and
all agreed it is always a matter Of
doubt whether infection is local or
general. Whalen said: -.
1T would be folly to destroy three
million dollars worth of meat annu-
ally just to suit long-haired cranks.
The meat can be eaten and that much
money saved without harming any
body. Under my administration the
packers have made more money than
ever before. The packers are enabled
to sell meat cheaper and am not go
ing to change my methods to please
senseless agitators."
