| VIM. Green, Republican nominee
for mayor. and Frank Snyder, political
manager of Green's campaign, will
probably leave tomorrow for St. Au-
gustine. Florida, for a sojourn of two
weeks. The trip is taken on the advice
| of Mr.. Green's physician. Mr.. Snyder's
health has also been poor and he had
planned a jaunt to a health resort in
anticipation of improving his condi-
| ton. Mr.. Snyder is troubled with ca
tarrh of the stomach.
Mr.. Green has improved materially
and this morning was enjoying a re-
freshing sleep Mr. Snyder said this
afternoon: IF Mr.. Green's condition
remains the same. and 1 think it will,
we will leave tomorrow for St. Au-
gustine, Florida. The members of the
family think he can take the trip and
believe that we will be able to leave
Wednesday. We aim to get back in
time for the election
The Democratic local ticket looks
very much like it will be put in the
field with one vacancy. Judge S. H.
Allen. who was nominated for city at
torney by the Democrats at their con-
vention last Saturday, refuses to run
and the Democrats secured the city
last evening and all day today in their
vain efforts to pick out a suitable can
didate who would not refuse to accept
this afternoon no one had been Sc
lected- John Switzer and J. J.
Schenck were charged with the task. s
Rather than put in a weak candi-l
date the Democrats would prefer to
leave the candidacy vacant and this
will probably be the way the ticket
will be put into the field
The factional differences which
erept into the Republican party pri-
mary it is claimed have been entirely
obliterated.
The Swendson organization, the Hol-
liday organization and the Green cam
paign managers are all working to-
gether. The Holiday organization has
been given wide sway in the First and
Second wards. In these two wards the
results of the primary showed the
strength which the organization had
managed to build about Holiday and
realizing that a hard fight will have TO
be made to elect the Republican coun-
ciimen in these two wards this arrange
ment of the forces has been made.
put especial efforts forth in the Second !
ward In one way the building of a
Republican majority in the Second |
ward is going to rebound to the benefit
of Joseph Griley if he should come out
as a candidate two years hence in the |
Second. The Republicans have opened |
up headquarters at 615 Kansas avenue
while the Democrats viii manage their /
campaign from the Office block where |
they expect to rent suite of rooms on |
the second floor. L. H. Fenwell as |
chairman of the city central committee |
and NJ. w. Saxon. as secretary, will |
have active control of the Democratic |
campaign.

Two carriages with two ward workers |
were engaged today to round up the |
stray Republican voters that have not |
registered. There are about 1000 OF /
these. divided fairly well between all |
of the wards The books close on the |
22nd OF March Mr. Penweu stated that |
the Democrats were urging their adher- |
ents to register. But am against |

think this business of hiring carriages
and rushing people is right Our peo-

The Republicans will hold a few
meetings the latter part of the week |
to strengthen up their organization in |
the weak places over the city, but the |
real live meetings will not be held I'M
til next week. The Democrats Will |
wait until next week before holding |

these wards the Democrats have a /
strong candidate and realizing this
they will put up strong bid for votes.
