The above is the primary election tic
ket that has been agreed upon by the
Republican Advisory Committee and
while the announcement of this ticket
does not restrict any one from entering
the field at the meeting of the commit
tee this morning nomination papers
were taken out for these men and the
committee will heartily recommend
them to the voters Of the party for sup
port at the primary.
The action OF the committee gives as
surance that there viii be a contest in
the Republican ranks at the primary
election and it is possible that there
will be still other candidates in the field
before the time for the fling of nomina-
ton papers closes on March T.
The committee in session this morn
ing had not as yet heard Of the petit
lions that were in circulation asking
Edward G. Alleman to seek the Repub-
lican nomination for Mayor, but mem
bers Of the committee stated that should
Mr. Alleman decide to re-enter the field
the committee would see to it that his
petitions were properly place in circula-
ton in the time limited for such work.
The petitions have not been put out
without due consultation with the men to
be named as candidates as members of
The committee spent all day Friday
visiting these people and all of them
have agreed to make the race with the
exception OF one of the men named for
Mayor. John NJ. Kehlor has intimated
that he may withdraw from the contest
but as yet he has sent no formal letter
to the committee. To his friends Mr..
Kehlor has stated that he would proba-
bly, not allow his name to be- placed be-
fore the voters at the primary but he is
considering the question and his deci-
sion will undoubtedly be formally an
lounced in an open letter to the commit
tee the earl y part of next week
The members Of the ward committees
are hard at work filling up the tickets
in the different wards and it is certain
at this time that the Republican party
Will have candidate in every ward in
the city regardless Of the complexion
Of the ward as to political preferences.
The Democrats are also most active
and they are working quietly to counter
act the enthusiasm of the republicans
and they are planning to get out tickets
in all the wards of the city. There is
however no chance for harmony in the
Democratic ranks as the opposing can
didates for Mayor admit that they have
hot fight on and it is not probable that
the Ratchet will be buried by all of
them after the primaries are over. The
old question Of the withdrawal of Cor
man in favor of Scholey is being discuss
ed but there is little likelihood that this
withdrawal will ever be made public and
should German withdraw, the remotest
Of possibilities, it is certain that the
faction of the party which he repre-
sents will have candidate in the field.
1t is not thought that Treasurer Mar
tin Steinmetz, City Clerk Harrington or
Justice McCarron will have any opposi-
ton at the primaries.
In another week it is expected that
the fight will be on in earnest and it will
be carried on till the last vote is count
ed at the primary.
