THREE TICKETS
MAY Be NAMED
Independent Movement Being
Launched in Opposition
to Old Parties.

With the Republican city convention
less than a week away the various can
didates aspiring for office have COM
menced the work of drawing their lines
closer in the hope of landing the places.
Efforts to form slate that would pass
muster at the coming convention have
SO far failed, owing to the wide breach
between factions.
Beginning at the mayoralty, with
Glasmann out of it, there is a strong
possibility that the nomination will go to
the Third ward. either to Edwin Dix. the
present county assessor, or William
Craig, who for the past two years has
been presidents of the city council 1t is
not expected, however, that either OF
these men will receive the support of
Glasmann, but there is now some doubt
as to whether BIZ will be able to
Glasmann bent every effort to nominate
kuchler. He accomplished the trick of
nominating his man, but when il came
to electing him that was different prop
osition and KUchler was defeated by
DR.. E. NJ Conroy.
Since Glasmann began to juggle with
the nomination for the mayoralty this
year number of prominent people whose
names might be used for the position de-
ciined to enter the contest.
At the county building during the past
week or so, a number of meetings are
said to have been held. Those who have
ent are County Clerk David Madison:
Deputy County Clerk Fred Dalton. who
Is candidate for city treasurer; Dan
l'Pugh, candidate for councilman from
Judge ]. A. Howell. This is virtually the
same combination that stepped in and
took charge of the Republican city cam
palgn two years ago, and in view of mast
events and the events that are to come
II would not be at all surprising If they
should come out in support of Glasmann
for the head of the ticket. But in this
they would fool no one.
There is little doubt that Fred Dali
ton will secure the nomination for treas
urer' although F. J. Henderson, is loom
ing uD.
Thomas B. Farr who is connected with
the Pingree National bank. is also out
following
For recorder z. P. Brown seems to
have cinch. 1t looked for a time as if
David Jensen would give him a hard bat
tie for the nomination, but Jensen got
MS instructions and quit cold w ]
Critchiow, the present incumbent, is also
atter the place, but tnasmuch as he has
been there for six years there are many
people who think 1t time for him to step
down and give some one else a chance
Those on the inside say that David
Jensen viii be rendered the nomination
for city attorney over James H. Devine
who is at present assistant city attor-
ney. Jensen was admitted to the bar
dbOut tHO years ago, Out mas never tried
a case.
For auditor no opposition has as yet de-
veloped to Mrs. f. o. Stanford the pres
ent incumbent. and it is altogether like
ly that she will be named by acclama-
ton. Judge ]. d. Murphy will be alone
in the race for municipal judge. This he
believes will be a good enough berth to
remain In for the reason that in the
event of Glasmann being forced to re-
linquish his hold on the pOstOfffce Job, he
thinks he can drop into ''BilPs" shoes
The slate for councilmen IS as follows:
First ward, George G. Wilson: Second
ward, A H Moves; Third ward. J. B
Dana; Fourth ward, Edwin Williams or
Z. w. Chambers; Fifth ward. Dan Pugh.
There are many prominent Republicans
who are working for an independent
ticket this fall. In fact, the movement
was started by the Republicans Those
who are so far prominent in the deal
have settled upon Joseph Peery, a Demo-
crat, for the head of the ticket, should
the move go through. At the present
time they are waiting to see what the
Republican convention will do this week
and from present indications the third
ticket will be a reality. In this way the
people hope to get away from GIasmann
and have real business administration.
