AFFAIR

HOPES TO DEFEAT PLANK
HUTCHINSON IS CAUSE
OF FRICTION.-MASS
MEETING HELD.

After much trouble and after num-
erous men had refused to allow their
names to be used for aldemanic nom
nations the Good Citizenship League
completed its ticket late Saturday af-
| ternoon. No nomination was made
/ for city treasurer and it is presumed
that no nomination will be made for
that office, consequently Leon J.
Chapman. the candidate on the Cit
liens and Taxpayers league ticket.
viii win without opposition from any
quarter but the Socialist party. Nom
nations are made for every other
municipal elective office.
However, it has developed today
that one of the men named in the
/ Second ward, L. p. McCary. will not
stand for the nomination and declares
4 that he had told the managers of the
Good Citizenship League that he
would not make the race. He de-
clared yesterday and this morning in
| most positive manner that he will
not make the race. Therefore, the
Good Citizenship League must hunt
up another aldermanic candidate to
run with C. H. Derryberry in the
| Second ward
r. l.. Magill, who was very anxious
to make the race for mayor and who
from all indications has considered
himself the coming Man of the
Hour in Grand Junction has finally
condescended to make the race
against j. c. Plank for alderman in
the Third ward. Magill hopes to poll
the Methodist vote and his nomina-
tion was strongly urged by Rev. ID. d.
Forsyth. pastor of the Methodist
church. However, as the votes of the
mem bers of the Methodist church are
not controlled by one man Mr.. Magill
will find himself badly fooled in his
effort to defeat Mr.. Plank. 1t is
practically certain that J. C. Plank
and j b. Matthews will be reelected
aldermen in the Third ward, as can
didates on the Citizens and TaXpay-
ers' ticket. 1t will take much strong
er men than II. l.. Magill and A. B. !
Campbell to defeat these two men
who have made such splendid records
on the aldermanic board. The peo-
pie of the Third ward are not going
10 be blinded by certain individuals
who are fighting these men for purely
personal reasons, having nothing to
say against their characters or their
official records. Because of that fact
Mr.. Plank watched a little too care
fully over the interests of the people
in connection with the building of
the Y. M. C. A. structure, in his ca
pacity of treasurer of the board of
Y. NJ. C. A. directors, two or three
of the men who didn't like Mr.. |
Plank watchfulness and who are
prime movers in the Good Citizenship |
League, decreed that he must be de-
feated for alderman and thus per-
sonal animosities are being brought |
to play under the guise of "a battle |
for the common good"
In the Fourth Ward S. b. Hutch
inson, one of the nominees on the |
Socialist ticket, has been endorsed |
for alderman by the Good Citizenship !
League Already there is dissatis-
faction among the loyal Socialists
over that action and one prominent
Socialist declared today that the Soc
ialists would not stand for Hutchin-
son being on both tickets, that he
must withdraw from one or the other.
There were several conferences of
the managers of this ticket yesterday
Yesterday morning in several of
the churches of the city the pastors,
active in the municipal fight, deliver
ed sermons bearing on the anti-saloon
feature of the municipal campaign
but as far as can be learned no per-
sonal references were made to the
anti-saloon ticket.
Last night the Methodist, Baptist, /
Christian, CONGREGATIONAL and Pres /
byterian churches united in a mass
meeting a the Congregational church |
which was largely attended and /
which was addressed by Attorney |
Thomas J. Darnell, the manager of I
the local anti-saloon campaign.
Today Mr.. Darnell and his CO.
workers have been busy getting un-
registered voters.
Albert Stuart. of Mack, is in the
-.et..
