people want me in the office they will

1t will be all the same. Nobody has
any strings on me of any kind at all.
If 1 am elected l intend to fill the OIL

and that is all there is to it,"
The decision of Davis to run for the
Office of chief of police has been the
talk Of the city today even more than
yesterday.
1t is probable Doug" McCauley Of
the police force will also run in the
primaries as democratic candidate
although he has not yet filed his name
with Clerk Hart. McCauley ran for
sheriff on the democratic ticket last
June and made remarkable race
against odds.
What will probably be another ex-
citing race to add interest to the COM
ing primaries will be that over the
place Of health officer.

LACK ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THOSE
ATTENDING THE BIG TRACK MEET

Scarcity of places to eat for the
hordes Of athletes and visitors which
vii pour into the city next week for
the interscholastic track meet is be-

make arrangements for caring for the
young men.
It is said the restaurants confess
they cannot possibly meet the extra
urain as they can with difficulty feed
the number who are now here. 1t is
probable that either some large hall
will have to be hired. or the Easements
of the different churches used to take

Sleeping places for from IS to 100
visitors have been registered with
