WANT NJ MILAN
OUT OF THE RACE
Efforts to Induce Him to With
draw From MayOralty Con-
test Being Made.
TO CRIPPLE JOE LIPPMAN
DEMOCRATS WILL PROBABLY en-
DoRSE BRANSFoRD.

With the announcement by Mayor John
8. Bransford that he will accept the nom
ination on the American ticket II rendered
him comes redoubled efforts on the part
OF his supporters to induce II. G. AIcMil-
Ian to withdraw from the mayOralty fight
IN favor Of Bransford in order that he
may have q better chance against IdpD-
man. II is conceded that Mcmillan has
no chance, and his withdrawal will mean
consolidation OF all the ant-Lippman
forces.
Fearing that Lippman might otherwise
corner the American nomination, the
Kearns forces might have hesitstingiy
come out for Bransford. The kearns
morning paper on Sunday announced that
Bransford would permit his name to be
used at the convention, but among those
who asked Bransfurd to become a candi-
date the names Of Thomas KearnS, David
Keith, Frank SefTit and others OF the
kearns clique did not appear. The re-
quest was signed by l.. a. Wall, ". Mont.
Ferry w W. Armstrong, ". J. HellOrau,
Tony jacobson, a. Fred Wey, u. 5.
Holiness {. NJ Trent, /. J.. Terry and
Henry Newell.
In spite OF the lack OF enthusiasm on the
part OF the American crowd. they viii be
TOrced TO come out for Bransford and to
retract their former attacks on the mayor
81 order TO prevent Lippman's nomination.
They had preferred Mcmillan to Lippmau,
but when they found that Mcmillan was
beaten 10 standsull, they were forced
70 choose Bransford as e last resort
The American supporters OF Bransford
are endeavorinE 20 dissuade him from &C
cepung nominations or endorsements on
either the Citizens or the Democratic
ticket. They fear that acceptance by the
mayor Of such nominations would mean
llla endorsement Of the other platforms,
which, OF course. viii be at wide variance
with the American platform, and the re-
suit would be that he would be much
weaker for that reason before the Amer
Jean convention. Another reason why
g ~ nj = lar
nominations IS that ne would not then be
bound alone by the American party in
case Of his election, but the other parties
would have 20 be recognized by the mayor
as factors II his election.
Democratic Convention.
The Democrats OF salt Lake will hold
their city convention in the Federation OF
labor han tomorrow evening. The Demo-
Gratis feared that there were not enough
members OF their party left to I'LL their
lists OF delegates so they win dispense
with primaries and Will nominate their
ticket in a mass convention. All Demo-
Gratis IN the city are urged to attend the
convention IN order that there may be
enough votes 70 FIJI tbs five places on the
city ticket
Mayor John :. Bransford VIII probably
be borrowed from the Americans temper
arily TO head the Democratic ticket, so
that II four Democrats attend the meet
ing a full ticket IS assured. There are no
candidates for any Of the places on the
ticket, but d. =. Felt and John S. CritCh-
low are always available In case any of
those who are TO be tagged when they are
not looking rebel,
According to the Democratic slate, a. y.
Mckay was 10 submit to the use Of his
name on the ticket as a. candidate for city
recorder. With considerable grace Mr..
Mckay explains that his business inter
5sts will require his absence from the city
for portion Of the time and that there
fore he would not have time to do justice
10 the duties OF the office. This leaves
the way open for Dave Felt ana John
CTitchlOw.
The absorbing interest IN the contest for
The msyOralJy nomination on the AmeVi-
can ticket OVeTshadCWs the fights for the
minor offices. Gideon Snyder win prob
ably be renominated for city treasurer
without opposition. Rudolph Alff is SUI
1erng from com iCatiOug with the party
leaders, and as 2 result any one Of q half
q dozen aspiTants may be the American
Darty's candidate fOT city auditor j. B.
l1OretOn viii try for the council, and Ben
Rives and Ed. Pike are seeking his place
a s. recorder.
Opposition TO II. G. Dinniny Tor city at
torney Is taking form IN the candidates.
OF George +. Goodwin and George Jay
Gibson. Dinuiny seems to have antag-
0nized the Kearns crowd, but may win In
spite Of them,
