PLANS CAMPAIGN
Democrats Arrange for Finances at
Meeting at Turner Hall
Withdrawals.

The democratic city committee held
a meeting last evening at Turner hall
for the purpose of considering the
spring campaign. A number of the
candidates who We're named by the
committee for the purpose of protect
ing the party's interests in the primary
election, have given notice of their
withdrawal from the ticket.
1t is likely, however. that num-
Der of those who were named on the
township ticket will be induced to re-
main in the field as candidates.
On the city ticket it seems likely
that there will be only Albert Huber
for city attorney and C. j. Smith for
police magistrate.
The committee authorized the ap
pointment of finance committee 20

the campaign. Hon. H. l.. Wheelan
Hon. T. D. Medill, c. S. McDaniels and

mittee. Chairman Bert Corken of the

it is not necessary to attach an emer-
