CITY COMMITTEE
TO MEET MONDAY
Date for the City Primary
Election Will Be Set and
An Early Primary Is AL
most Certain.
CONTESTS PROMISED
Effort Will Be Made to Secure New
Rule For Selection Of Alderman
Chairman and Secretary to Be
Elected at Mondays Session.

When the Democratic city CEN
trail committee meets Monday after
noon at O'Clock at the CITY Hall
to fix the date for holding the pri-
mary erection, at which city attor-
ney, city clerk and an alderman
from each ward are to be nominal
ed, an effort will be made to secure
the adoption of a new rule to ap-
ply at the coming primary election,
whereby the voters in each ward
are to select their respective repre-
sentat'v YES in the city's legislative
body. 1t is stated that the major
ity of the twelve committeeman do
not favor such a change. The GUS
tom that has been In vogue in this
city for many years is the nominal
ton of an alderman from each
ward by a majority of the entire
vote of the city. or the total-number
of ballots cast IN the fnnr wards of

tho city.
This matter was discussed by sew
eral OF the committeeman yester-
day. An early primary election is
also being urged and it is most
likely that the committee will set
the primary for February IS Or
whereabouts. The county election
only recently closed and the voters
Of the city do not favor a/lengtiy
campaign for city offices, IL is stat
ed that there has been too much
pol tics -late~afld with the State
election set for March 25, the voters
are anxious to get rid OF the city
primary as soon as poss' BILE. The
municipal election is set for Tues
day, April Z.
BECAUSE there has been no meet
ing of the city central committee
since the ELECTION of the various COM
mitteemen, following the last pri-
mary election, there has been no
chairman or secretary named for
that body. 1t was necessary to get
the majority Of the committeeman
to consent to meeting of the city
central committee at this time and
Saturday petition, calling the meet
ing for Monday afternoon at 3 o.
clock, was circulated and almost
unanimously signed by the members
of the committee.
The indications are that there
will be some spirited contests in the
coming primary. City Attorney w.
F. Coleman will retire and will
not seek reelection, it is said. IT.
wing Rernberger and w. B. Sorrells
will be candidates for that Office.
City Clerk W. A. Lee, who says he
will announce Monday for re-elec-
ton, will be opposed by B. w.
Rodney" Benton. Four aldermen,
one from each of the four wards of
the city, are to be elected. The
terms of Fred Fox. from the First
ward: Harvey Hudson, from the
Second ward: c. F.. Huntington,

to the effect that Alderman Fox and
Alderman Clement will have no op-
position. Other statements are be-
ing made that there will be con-
tests in the Second ward, represented

For the first time in the history OF the colony
the home supply of frying size" chickens IS equal
to the demand. Year after year the Enterprise
has appealed to the colonists and country people,
to raise sufficient number OF chickens to supply
their home market We had two reasons for the
insistence; one was that the business is profitable
and the other that the imported chickens our not
as wholesome after being shipped several hundred
miles and exposed to heat and rough handling, as
chickens fresh from the farm. The prices the local
growers receive are quite ample to guarantee good
profit. There is one great drawback to chicken
1aising in this climate and that is the vermin. All
other enemies to the birds are easily managed and
with a little care and study of the remedies, mites
lice, and feas, can be kept away from the fowls
The rest is easy.

PISTOL SHOT
 AT MIDNIGHT Sent a Quartette Of Autos Off for Phoenix AFTER REPUBLICANS CUP
Lowering Clouds at Banning Threatened the Racers With Trouble at the First Ford--Personnel of the Crews In the Contest.

Los Angeles. Nov. S.-Four autos, Kisselkar, Elmore, Franklin, and the White steamer. started tonight in the Arizona Republican cup race to Phoe- nix. from the corner of Second and Spring street The first started eX- actly at midnight and the others fol- lowed at half hour intervals. The prospect of rain at Banning added somewhat to the difficulties as, if there is very much precipitation. it will be difficult for the cars to make the ford across Whitewater creek. At g o'clock last night it was reported that it looked very much like rain at Ban ming.
 The men who are to take the cars through have been selected with es pecial care because they are fitted for the task. Latham of the TCbasco crew has shown ability to send his car over the roads of California as fast as any driver and he holds several records that it will be hard to get away from him.
 Harris Hamshue has been before the motoring public as a driver for some time and has demonstrated his ability time after time. He will do much of the heavy work in the desert sand leaving the speed work for Latham, where the roads are better.

That Will Depend Upon the Wishes of the Next Presi- dent-The Chairman Be- lieves Bill Could be Passed by the Middle of July.

Washington, Nov 7.-Chairman Payne of the house committee on ways and means arrived at Washington to- day and set to work immediately to get ready for committee hearings on the tariff which will be begun next Tuesday and continue almost until the opening of congress.
 The first subject to receive attention will be oils. paints and chemicals. MT. Payne said today no effort would be made to put a bill through during the present congress.
 Even if the house should pass bill the senate would not act" said he, and We would have to do all our work over in special session"
 Mir. Payne had a long conference with President Roosevelt today on the tariff question. MT Payne declared that tariff revision will not be taken up at the coming session of congress but whether an extra session for this purpose would be called depended en- tirely upon the wishes of Mir Taft
 Mir. Payne was of the opinion that an extra session would be called about March 18th and might be able to pass a tariff bill by the middle of July.

JUDICIARY ENRICHED Alleged Solicitation Ofa Bribe
 bgSupPeme CouPtJudge |OF WASHINGTON STATE
An Attorney for the Great Northern Makes a Startling Explanation Following His
 Resignation of a $50,0O0 Shortage In His Accounts.

Olympia, Wash, Nov. 7-Charges of the alleged solicitation and alleged payment of money, involving the names of Judge Gordon and Milo A. Root. formerly of the supreme court. but later division counsel of the Great Northern railroad, at Spokane. are to be investigated by a committee from the state bar association appointed at the suggestion of the supreme court. Judge Root denies the truth of the charges.
 Judge Gordon resigned from the em- ploy of the Great Northern a few weeks ago and since then charges have been published that his resigna- tion was due to an alleged shortage of his accounts to the amount of S5O.OO0. The report that Judge Root laid be- fore his associates today was that Judge Gordon and his attorneys had been claiming that this money was paid to Root at the Iatter's solicitation to influence his decisions in railway eases pending before the supreme court.
