Topeka and will make a strong can
dfdate.
In the Third ward H. B. Howard,
proprietor CT the Golden Rule ma
chine shops, is announced to run
against F. E Nipps, who will come up
for denomination and election. MI
Howard is favorably known among
the younger element of the city. Mr..
Nipps is probably the strongest man of
the two and the most popular.

entirely new faces for candidates for
counciimen. T. NJ. Euwer of the To-

Two big meetings of a local political
nature are scheduled for Tuesday eV-
enfng.
The committee will meet Tuesday ev-
enfng in further attempt to discover
to whom it wishes to give its endorse
this endorsement will be bitter one
Last week the followers of Swendson
packed the meeting and outnumbered
those for Green by about two to one
They successfully STAYED off the in
tended endorsement of Green at that
time. Tuesday evening it is reported
that similar tactics will be resorted to
by Swendson followers and If the
strength warrants it will attempt to
secure the endorsement of Swendson.
1t is even suggested now that c. K:
Holiday has come out on law ana
order platform that he should receive
the endorsement why not? There
is no vital issue on which we are diff
ferent except that of seeing Topels@ get
ahead said Holiday.
On the same evening at the parlors
of the Throop hotel the Democrats will
meet and nominate full city ticket.
For mayor the men suggested are; f.
w. Blair, w. H. Kemper and l. NJ

will be concentrated on the election of

A further suggestion for mayor was
name of Fred Freeman, of the Mer-
chants National bank.
