L. G. HoIister Gets Clear Lake Nomi-

Business Mems Council Elected.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Clear Lake, March 20--After about
the warmest political caucus ever held
in this place of warm political scraps,
Mayor Young lost out in his race for
denomination here yesterday, by twen-
ey-tive votes His opponent, l.. G. Hol
lister, secured the nomination, getting
total vote of 225, to MIR. Youngs 200.
One of the striking things OF the
campaign is the staying power OF
Mayor Young's friends. Two years
ago he polled 202 votes, and won after
a contest. This year 200 of these men
voted for him, and it is said the two
escapes can be accounted for, being out
of town at the time.
A business mans council was elect
ed, consisting of j. c. Lindon, George
OFT, John Young. II. l.. Parmenter,
William MCGOWAN and Z. e. Stewart.
The question OF Il new water works
will be at once taken up, also general
improvements.
Mayor Young today announced his
candidacy for supervisor, to succeed
Supervisor 3. A. Brown, from this dis
trict, and will continue the fight.

Causes Factions to Unite Against
Them-Mayor Lishtner Threatened
With Defeat.
Special to Times-Republican.


Cedar Rapids, March 20.--A politica
race war is just now stirring the peo1
pie of this city, and promises to res
suit in the defeat of the present mayor
Lightner, for reelection The trouble
grows out Of the recent primary for
the nomination of city officials under
the commission plan, and the large Boz
hemian population is lined up on on6
side with the other nationalities solids
ly arrayed against them.
The Bohemians have been given pos
litical recognition in almost every elec-
ton. Mayor Lightner has been their
favorte candidate recently and has
campaign States were fixed up pronl-
Using the Bohemians two places on the
aldermanic ticket provided they would
turn Lightner down, or divide their
strength against him. This agree
ment was apparently accepted, but In
the election last week the Bohemian
vote stood solidly for the present
mayor, and he was renomnated, as
were also the two candidates for all
dermanic honors. Their success at the
city election would give the Bohem-
ians with Lightner's vote. full control
of city affairs.
AS result Of this alignment, the
defeat of Lightner is predicted, as
the Bohemian opposition will center
their strength on the opposing candi-
date, Carmody The feeling is in
tense and little else is being discussed
on the streets, about the hotels and
places Of business.
