WOULD HAVE
s ADDITIONAL
COUNCILMEN
Republicans Make Effort to Gain
Control, by Putting in Extra Man
From Each Ward.
UNDER old PROVISION
Petitions We're Filed at Eleventh
Hour Many Are in Line for the
Primaries, for Offices and for
Delegates to Convention

What looks like a trick on the
part of some of the republicans Waa
effected Saturday right when mes-
senger delivered to City Clerk LaRoe
six petitions, one for councilman in
each ward. The messenger said he
had been given the petitions by
George Eggert. AS they had been
regularly sworn, and contained the
proper number Of signatures, Mr..
LaRoe accepted them.
Judge Lyon, when interviewed by
a NEWS man this morning in regard
to the petitions, said: Il think that
there is no foundation for it, be-
lieve at most II Is a political trick
of which / cannot too strong disap-
prove. If our city is to have council-
men as well as aldermen let it be on
full and ample notice to all the
voters, so that they can deliberately
and intelligently act
In filing the counciImen's petitions
the same question relative to the city
governm ent which has been brought
UP many times and which has never
been settled, is again in vogue. The
move, IL legal, is clever trick and,
If the six were elected, 1t would give
the republicans the majority vote in
the council.
