his list and Mr.. Hudson also pre-
scented his list. Three judges are to
serve in each ward. Each OF the
candidates named a judge in each
precinct and the other was supplied

be of more than ordinary interest
because of the fact that it will be

men. At the recent primaries j.
Finn HUT was nominated over
Harvey Hudson. receiving q major
ity of SO votes in the entire city.
When the central committee met
Mr.. Hudson charged fraud in the
First ward. The committee ad-
iourned to give him an opportunity
to present evidence to substantiate
his charges. Later when the ses-
sion of the committee was on and
the matter came up, much wrang~
ling resulted. The discussions end
ed when Drew White, who IS man
aging Mr.. Hutt's campaign again
in his second race, challenged Mr..
Hudson to run the race over. He
at first refused, but later yielded.
The other nominees were declared
and the two candidates were given
lust seven days in which to make a
canvass.
Ever since the second race was
announced the two candidates and
their friends have been very active.
Mr.. HUT declares that he will de-
feat Mr.. Hudson and will register
four times as many votes as in the
first race. On the other hand Mr..
Hudson and his friends are conf
dent of victory. The fire depart
ment employees are working hard

son. At all events the election
