PLENTY OF CANDIDATES FOR
DOUGLAS CITY OFFICES

DOUGLAS, March 5.-(Special. y
It is already assured, If present in
dications go for anything, that there
will be no scarcity of candidates for
the various city Offices to be filed at
the coming election in May. Already
the names of many possible and prob
able aspirants have received men
ton in quiet way. The Offices to
elect in the city are the following:
Mayor.
Marshal.
City clerk.
Street commissioner.
Six aldermen, one in each ward.
1t is expected that there will be
three tickets in the field, as the dem
ocrats,, republicans and socialists have
qualified themselves for a primary
election by filing with the city council
an apportionment of delegates ana a
list of election officers.
Who Will Be Mayor
Already there has been some tax
about the successor of Mayor Adam
son, who has positively refused to lis
ten to many urgent requests for him
to accept the position again. Mayor
Adamson has received the assurance
from many republicans that they will
support him if he viii again consent
to continue at the head Of the city
government This he has positively
refused to even consider and it looks
like Douglas must chose new mayor.
Hence the question, Who viii be
mayor?'
DR.. w. A. Greene, at present a
member of the council, has been
spoken of as man who would prob
ably be able to defeat any republican
pitted against him should he be placed
at the head of the democratic ticket.
R. B. Sims, also member of the
present city council has been talked
| of by his admirers The name OF
] Judge Cass has also been heard men
/ toned in democratic circles as man
who would make a good mayor. On
J the republican side there has not been
much talk concerning candidate for
mayor C. A. Overlook was the re-
publican candidate two years ago
when the present mayor was elected.
| 1t is believed by some that he wound
like to make another trial for the POI
sition of executive of the city but so
| far as known he has not made known
his intentions in the matter. Other
republicans who are regarded as prob
able or possible aspirants are H. S.
| Kenyon, Albert Stacy and DR.. f. T.
Wright.
City Marshaf.
1t is known definitely that Marshal
Stambaugh win seek another nomina-
ton for this Office at the hands of the
republicans. He was the first marshal
of the city, being appointed by the
| first city council after the incorpora-
ton Of the city Two years ago he
was again elected. For the demo
cratic nomination for this Office there
has been no public announcement yet
of the intention Of anyone TO run. Sam
Hayhurst, formerly deputy sheriff
/ and now a member OF the ranger
force. has been suggested by some of
his friends who believe he would
make a strong race and an eficsenf
| officer j. H East during the last
| few days has been frequently men
toned. Another probable candidate
is J. E. Kniaziewicz better known as
Happy Jack
City Clerk.
1 There has been no mention as yet
OF any candidate for city clerk on
either ticket. Should Tom Daley ex-
press a desire to continue in this po
sition he would be a strong candidate
for the democrats.
/ CounciIn1en.
The councilmen for the several
wards will be named by the various
conventions when they meet at the
Seventh street school house. under
the official call.
The Socialists.
! The socialists, 1t is expected, will
put full city ticket in the field, but
they will hardly be able to elect even
a councilman. At the last county eiec-
ton the socialists showed some
strength in Douglas. but it Is not be
lieved they could poll as many votes
now as then.
