INDIGNATION BEING SHOWN
Continued from PAGE I.

dIscrediting American nlisadmlnlstra-
ton, and especially Mayor BransfOrd,
through his clever detective work in
the stockade, is also a delegate to the
Brausford~Citizens city convention.
Good in 5ransford.
Il would prefer someone who has not
been active in politics for mayor" said
Mr.. Haddock. There is lots OF good
in Mayor Bransford, but L do not believe
that he is the only man available. A
citizens movement should pub business
men ana not politicians into power
Quayle Cannon is another recent op-
ponent of BPansford who is now apollo
giving for the mayor. Mr.. Cannon is
uiEo a delegate to the coming Brans-
ford convention. 81 grant you" admit
ted Mr.. Cannon, that there have been
a lot OF rotten things during Mayor
Bransford's administration, but I don't
think the mayor was entirely to blame.
II the mayor would say that he was for
Il square deal for all OF the people, I
should support him for nomination and
election, because I think he il a man of
his word. / live Oh the west side ana
! am bitterly opposed to the etOckade
and TO the stand Mayor Bransford took
in the matter. I believe, though, that
the mayer was honest in his position,
and that he has been trying to do what
ne thought was the right thing.
THE council il more important than
the mayor, and I think that If we get
together we can elect a council that viii
be all right. We want business man
for mayor, and Mayor Brausford is
good business man.
Like expressions from leaders Of the
Citizens party who were former bitter
opponents of the mayor, but who are
now his lukeWarm admirers, indicate
that the Citizens party, with many
apologies Tor their candidate, viii nom
mate Mayor BTausford. the mayor, in
I'll interview yesterday, said that he
would decline this nomination II he was
not nominated by the American party.
It seems possible that the two couglnm-
crate parties, Ostensibly differing widely
in principle, but uniting in the one fu-
tile purpose 10 defeat the Republicans,
viii agree on the same candidate to
head both tickets.
Delegates to Stay Away.
Indications were last night that a
large majority OF the delegates chosen
who win attend the Citizens cOnven-
ton viii vote for Bransford. OF the
delegates chosen a large number viii
not attend, for the reason that they are
Republicans and Will remain such, no
matter how many tickets make them
delegates 20 other conventions against
their will. Investigation OF a few of the
delegates chosen at random from the
published lists produces these results;
Ralph A. Ranck, elected delegate from
the First district did not attend the
primary ia my district, and was sur
prised 20 learn that i had been chosen
a delegate. The use of my name is I'M
authorized. I am a Republican and viii
support the Republican ticket.
John GALLAGHER elected delegate from
the Fifth district was not chosen a
delegate with my consent. ! was not
at the meeting. / am not in sympathy
with the movement and I will not at
tend this or any other prohibition con-
Tention.
o. c. Brown, chosen delegate from the
Sinth district-The use OF my name
was unauthorized. I did not attend the
meeting and viii not go to the city con-
vention, nor support the ticket. I am
precinct chairman OF the Republican
party and will do my share in electing
a straight Republican city ticket.
Theodore Lovsndahl elected delegate
from the Tenth district--Mr. Lovendahl
