fUnder no circumstances would
consider nomination on the ticket for
Sheriff, - stated John Lane most empha-
tically yesterday, when questioned as
to a probable withdrawal of himself
from the three.cornered mayoralty con-
test. 81 have announced to my friends
that / am out for nomination as Mayor,
and / will never prove traitor to my
friends OF to my party by Withdrawing
/ have some friends left in the party
and / will go before the convention.
If the party wants to recognize my
services to the party and nominate me,
well and good, but lie they want to init
mate that have not pleased them, let
them turn me down.
al have always been straight party
man. i have worked hard for the party
and am out now for the party nomina.
ton. You must remember that this
year the Republican party is not the
party of two years ago. This time the
ticket is being watched very closely
by the masses and great deal depends
!, for sshe success of the whole ticket
80, the one they nominate to head it
fhVfh't say that 1 am the only man
< lould head it properly, but"
InH - .he takes gloomy view of the sit
ms. Nm, although he expects, in spite OF

Ited nomination. He absolutely re

nv't4';ion lower down on the ticket in the
S(7lfnt of not landing the leading nomi

Eaians would think that / have sold

t would be digging my own political
srave for me to take such step.'
Where are the Republicans.
y Just what Lane meant by contrast
Hing the party Of today with that which
cleared up pretty nearly everything two
N years ago, is not certain, but he had
: only just heard the results of the party
|sAroll registration in the Twelfth of the
ttFifth, his old stamping ground. There
IA two years ago, the roll contained the
Il ksgnatures of as many as could write
of AGO Republicans, staunch and true
Nj good many of whom voted the ticket
n at the election; this year, after the
secretary of the precinct had gone out
after signatures yesterday afternoon
the total signing the roll was only 124
Charley Clark kept the last roll and A
K. Vierra the new one, which may &C
count to a certain extent for the big
difference, but not for all of it.
These one hundred odd are expected
to be enough to elect the entire Craw
ford ticket, however, especially in view
of the report that has gone around
the precinct that the Boy Orators run
ming mates are repudiating their con
nection with his ticket and the indie
1 pendents have about as much show az
I a country calf has against an automo
bile.
A Tentative Ticket.
h. What purported to be a tentative
II !, icket for the Democrats was made pub
Il Sic yesterday, but it is far from wha
n lwill be announced after the nomina
lions. The Democrats are not going
n to commit harikari by nominating an,
4 such candidate as Henry Vida, fo
instance, and the name was given pos
sible to draw the opposition fire from
some other weak portion of the list
The ticket the party is supposed to b.
considering is given:
Delegate to Congress-L. L. McCand
