nominated for the place.
Mr.. Hubbard admitted yesterday
that an agreement had been entered
into between himself and DR. Nc
Euen that whichever OF the two was
successful at the convention should
be the candidate. and that the one
defeated would throw his support in
favor Of the nominee. This means
that the above ticket will be launch
ed In the field against the ticket
headed by Hamilton for mayor. The
issue Of the ticket will be the munic-
ipal ownership OF public utilities. and
public improvement and progressive
ness in any ultra-conservative way.

designated. the Peoples Progressive
Improvement ticket, still continues
to lead, and be the fayorite of the

way this Is the ticket that will be
elected. Those composing this tick
ct are. Boyd Hamilton for mayor.
Fred L. Tiffany for city clerk and po-
lice Judge, Judge Geo. Steele for
treasurer. and H. B. Wright for sur

Sander; third ward. J. w. Arnold
and B. J. Skogstad; fourth ward, r.
J. Carseaiien and w. s. LAndt. Each
one Of the candidates are eminently
fitted and qualified to All and dis
charge the duties of the Offices which
they seek. The issue Is public i'm
provement and progressiyeness in
the largest and broadest sense OF the
"ord-broad enough TO cover all
things that pertain to the good and
