ANOTHER CITY CAUCUS.
Small Gathering of Voters at Opera
House Saturday Nfght.


House Saturday Night
One would Judge that Goodland is
getting to be a metropolitan city BY
the way city politics IS warming up at
this election The story OF the hold
ing OF the citizens caucus at the court
house on March Is was told in last
weeks paper But that did not satisfy
all. it seems And another caucus was
held at the Walker opera house sat
urday night to name the more i'm
pOrtant city nominees, mayor, city
treasurer, etc
Hugh Dyatt was named for chair
man He began to decline the honor,
but was urged and he accepted Tim
Othy Stevenson was then selected as
secretary. There were about twenty
five or thirty people that took active
interest in the caucus, and there were
some others who merely attended to
witness the proceedings Walter Smith
nominated E ". Sullivan for mayor
and then somebody nominated Walter
Smith for city treasurer. And they
both went in without opposition. AZ
ter that, Ben Jayne was put up for
police judge, and William H0geboOm
for justice OF the peace. And that
ended the nominations A motion was
next made to endorse all the ward
nominees Of the citizens ticket, which
was carried.
The persons interested in the cleo
ton Of the nominees Of the second
caucus have handed this paper an ar
ticle addressed to the citizens Of Good
land, and is as follows:
