Committeeman Are Shy.
The nominations for precinct COM
m1tteemen are as slow as the city Of
fee nominations. The Democrats only
sent in five petitions and one of them
Of signatures. The Republicans have
sent in l 8 petitions for these commit
teemen but one of them lacks the
proper per cent of signatures and there
/ q
filled. The Republican petitions pro-
vide for the following: Eugene Golf,
first of the Second; o. K. Sawyze, sec
ond OF the Fifth; r. ]. Jones, fourth
of the Second; George Hardy, third of
the Fifth; c. E. cambridge, third of
the Fifth; S. Hall, fourth of the Third;
Dan Saylor, sixth of the Second; o. r.
Wilson, second of the Second; DR. F.
j. Ernest first of the Third (thrown
out on account of lack of signatures)
William Peterson, fifth of the Second;
H. G. Larimer, second of the Third;
A. w. Greenwood, third of the Third;
M w. Overton, second of the First;
H. H. Hall, first of the First; w. L.
Stark, first of the Fourth; c. E. Heart
burg first of the Sixth; Charles Suit,
fourth of the First; w. T.. Calvin. third
of the Fourth. The Democrat petit
lions include the following men who
wish to be precinct committeeman: F.
NJ. Greer, second of the Fourth; w. H.
Dutton, third of the Fifth; George
Young, fourth of the First; J. B. Bill
lard third of the Fifth (thrown out
not enough signatures); George P.
EtZel, first of the First.
The above petitions will not fill the
offices, there being seven precincts
that are without petitions for commit
teemen. The committee will have to
make these appointments as there is
no provision in the law for such a
vacancy. In the Fourth ward the sec
ond and fourth precincts are not filled.
In the Second ward the third precinct
Il
precinct is vacant. In the Third ward
the first precinct, in the Fifth ward the
first precinct and in the Sixth ward the
second.
There was one peculiar nomination
for councilman and the ward was not
stated. 1t was for man named A.
Frederick but there were not enough
signatures. A councilman must have
5 per cent of at least one-half of the
precincts in his ward and any aggre-
gate not less than 5 per cent or more
than 10 per cent of the whole ward.
committeeman must have at least
10 per cent of his precinct.
Two Democratic candidates for posi-
lions on the school board will be drop
ped from the 6ght-they are DR..
people who circulated their petitions
overlooked the fact that the papers
should have per cent of the vote of
the whole city instead of 5 per cent of
the voters in their ward. This will be
a sad disappointment to the Democrats
as they laid great stress on Mr.. Gard
ner and DIR. Harding.
