Opens THIS WEEK
Committee Will Meet Friday
Night to Determine Whether
Thcre'll Be a Primary.
HOLD SEC CRET SESSION
WOULD HOLD SEC RET SESSION
Committee on Rules Will Report
to.Bar Out Press and
Public.

The first tangible step looking to the
launching Of the city campaign for coun-
cilmen and city treasurer will be
taken Friday night, when tho City
Democratic Committee will meet
to consider the subject. There are
two important questions TO be deter
mined. One is, "Will-there be a primary
sclcction71 and the other, Shall the meet
ings of the committee hereafter be held
behind closed doors 2,
To the first the answer will probably
be Yes" and to the second. No.
All the members sof the lower. branch
tine Council agcfty treasurer and
eleven aldermen are TO be chosen, and
come lively battles are expected.
II is safe TO say that Treasurer Pace
VIII hive no opposition. whatever may
be the method OF choosing his successor
The aldermen whose terms expire and
whose successors are to be chosen are
Afcssrs. Washer and Satterfield, OF Mar
shall; Messrs Turpin and Adams. OF
Jefferson; Gunst, OF Monroe; Allen and
Donohoe. of Madison: Blair, OF Henry;
Minor, of Lee: Cottrell and Seay, OF
Clay.
IT Is understood that all these gentlemen
save Mr.. Minor will stand again. and that
Councilman T. II. Elicit will aspire to
succeed him.
There is talk of Mr.. Z. H.a Cloves run
ming in Madison, and Mr.. =. NJ: Noble
Is already in the field in Jefferson. Some
of those spoken of for the lower branch
arc Messrs.g James IT, Cannon, In Lee; I
E. Al. Eppes and r. Fl. Gilbert, in Madi-
son: Joseph Phillips and John Selph. in
jefferson.
But the field is likely to be full before
the battle progresses far, and some lively
tits are expected. @
Will Ask for Expression.
II there shall be a primary, as is alto
gether likely. move will be made to get
the committee to place on the bottom
of the ticket used: s5f
For the municipal light plant
Against the municipal light plant.''
~ Councllmen desire some expression from
the people on this question, and they be-
slieve the primary would be fine oppor-
/ tuntty to secure It.
Expressions heard from members OF
sthe committee are along the line that
there will be a primary as ususl. and that
twill be held some time during the lat
ter part Of April,
Will Hardly Permit.
AS to the proposition to hold the ses-
jsions of the committee behind closed
doors, there is a decided difference Of
opinion. but sentiment leans strongly to-
ward the open door policy which has
prevailed for many years. Ss5 sS

That. however, he will not be unrca-
sonable in this respect was shown by
the fact that he agreed on Th,1sday to

The daily sentinel., 1906-12-03
is HE THE MAN?

A few days ago the Sentinel con-
tanned an announcement of the search
being made for man in Nevada by
the name of Reed who has struck
it rich for one Tom Thomas, who be-
friended him and grub staked him
six months ago when Reed was
broke. Fortune having come his
way now wants to reward the man
who loaned him 800 by giving him
$4,000. Yesterday there came from
Telluride a report stating that Tom
Thomas, who has been resident of
that camp for thirty years, was on
Saturday adjudged insane and taken
to the asylum at Pueblo.
Thomas is said to be 55 years OF
age and has led an adventurous life
of prospector since coming to Colo
rado. Several times he was owner
of valuable mining properties, one
of which he sold to the owners of the
famous Tomboy mine. He was not
married and has no relations in the
state.
1t is possible that this Tom Thom-
as is the man that Reed is hunting.
If 1t is and he is insane the fortune in
store for him will not be of much
pleasure to him.

HOWARD t. LEE RETIREs.

Howard T. Lee, editor and part
owner of the Silverton Standard for
merly one of the proprietors of the
Daily Sentinel and one of the best
known newspaper men in the state,
has sold his interest in the Standard
to his partner, Mr.. Joyce, and will go
to a southern or Pacific coast state to
seek better health.
