URGES DEMOCRATS
To VOTE THEIR
OWN TICKET
MAYOR TELLS THEM NOT TO BE
lURED INTO G. o. p. PRIMARIES
BY CRY ITO NOMINATE WEAK.
EST REPUBLICAN,"

Mayor Thompson has come out
with a strong proclamation urging
Democrats to vote their party ticket
in the primaries next week and not
to cross over and help friends on the
Republican side. He does not recog-
nlZe Democratic opposition. 4, but
argues that the cross-voting would be
blow at the primary system. He
says:
Many Republican candidates for
the smaller county, city and ward
offices have been strenuously seeking
Democratic votes in next weeks pri-
4HaFies.- One qf-tte uiiuriug argu.
mems they use is that, II the Demo
cratic voter will only ask for a Re.
publican ballot, he can, in addition to
voting for them, vote for the weakest
Republican for mayor, and thereby
help Thompson
Il want to say to all Democrats as
plainly and emphatically as the Eng
llsh language will permit, that do
not want any such help
Next year is fraught with events
and possibilities of too great mo-
ment to our city to permit any good
citizen TO help nominate the weak
est man. Let us all place greater
store on patriotism than 'partyism.'
The best candidate Of either party will
have all he can do to measure up to
the possibilities of the next IL
months. Besides, this interference by
one party In the nominations of the
other, even though legally permissible,
Is an assassin's blow at the direct pri.
mary system is morally fndefen sthie
and cannot be too severely con.
demned.
Therefore | take the liberty of urg.
ing all Democrats to vote their party
ticket at next weeks primaries, Sept.
81, 90 and 20,
I'm the general election In Novem-
Der each voter, whether enrolled as a
Democrat or Republican, can again
become an independent and vote for
whom he pleases."

CURR|E CREDITORS
SQUABBLE OVER
TRUSTEE
SMALL FRY OBJECT TO FRED G.
AUSTIN BEING NAMED, AND
SELECTION WILL NOT BE MADE
TILL NEXT WEDNESDAY.

A heated discussion arose In the
Davock. Saturday morning, in the
Cameron Currie & Co. case. and the
outcome was that the creditors did
not elect trustee. for which purpose
the meeting had been called.
The same antagonism between the
big creditors and the smaller petition
ing creditors developed that has come
up in every hearing since the matter
got into the federal court. Attorney
James o. Muffin led in the fight for
the larger creditors. while Charles s.
Graves was the spokesman for the
others.
Cameron Currie and Louis III.
Case were partially examined. their
full examination being put on until
afternoon. The election OF trustee
will take place next Wednesday.
Cameron Currie and Louis II. Case
were each asked whether they had
seen the schedules fled, and both
stated that they had and that they
were correct They testified that they
had not concealed any of their prop
erty or withheld it from the receiver.
Then their life insurance was gone
into. Currie's insurance being payable
to his wife, and Cases to his father
and his estate.
Fred G.. Austin was nominated for
trustee. and Attorney Graves objected
to his election. He brought up the
point that the qualifications OF the
creditors to vote had not been deter
mined. Only general creditors are
allowed to vote for the trustee, and
MANY of the larger creditors have
contended for preference all the way
-the-ease. thus barring them from
voting.
This was holly debated. the contest
becoming quite personal at times. Al
torney Muffin admitted that many Oh
the big creditors were not entitieo 10
vote.
FINALLY Referee Davock ended the
discussion by ordering that an AFTER
noon session be held to go over the
books to determine which creditors
may vote and their voting power as
to amount OF money owing them from
the firm.
Graves will also at this nearing
probe into the management OF ne
ceiyer Fred u. Austin, to ascertain
whether ne Is the proper man TO act
as trustee: The petitioning creditors

Is expected that they will further fight
his election.

GARBAGE CONTRACT
WORRIES EDWARDS
COUNCIL. DELAYS ADOPTING
SPECIFICATIONS
Board of Public Works Asks Leqsla-
tors to Hurry, as First of the
Year Is Coming
Soon

The dilatory tactics of the city coun-
ell on the garbage matter is beginning
to worry D. X. Edwards, chief in
spector of public works. He goes out
of office the first of the year, and he
is anxious to have the question settled
before that time.
In order to bring the council To
time the board of public works yes
terday addressed communication tc
that body asking it, In polite language
! to get "a move on" The specifica-
tions, carefully drawn up by Mr.. Ed
wards, have been before the Legislators
| for a month or more, but they have
failed to adopt them. Unless the speci-
fcations are adopted the board can
not advertise for bids, and even after
| bids are asked for a certain time must
elapse before they can be opened. After
! the contract is awarded the success
full bidder usually requires some time
to prepare, and quick action is neces-
sary in order that a new contract may
be awarded by the first of the year
when the present one expires.
The specifications presented by Mr.
Edwards are broad enough to permit
of almost any kind of a proposal fol
the disposition of the garbage.
D. r. Copper of Denver wants ten
years contract with the city to collect
garbage, which he offers to do with
out cost to the city. His plan is tc
feed the swill to hogs, as he has been
doing in Denver for the last few years
Such a proposition would save the
city 900 a year, but objections have
been raised to this plan on sanitary
grounds.
| Local men are also anxious to have
| the privilege of collecting garbage free
of cost to the city and use it for hog
feed Others want to submit pro-
posals for furnishing horses, wagons
and teamsters to collect the garbage
and deliver 1t to the city's incinerator
The specifications are in such shape
that any of these proposals can be
made under them.
