of MayoraIty Candidate

There will be meeting of the
municipal league of independent re-
publican clubs tonight Although the
conference adjourned last week, to
meet again in Lyric hall tonight, the
meeting has been again postponed until
next Tuesday night
There are two reasons for this post
sponement. One is that the leaders of
the league are not. sure as to what
the supreme court is going to do with
the direct primary law and the othe.
is that they have not yet decided upon
a candidate for mayor
The postponement of the meeting
was agreed upon at a meeting Of the
mayoralty committee held at head
quarters yesterday. II is said that the
difficult question of a candidate for
mayor was again taken up: but the
committeeman refused 10 divulge the
names of those who were discussed for
the head of the ticket.
1t is hoped that by next Tuesday
night the fate of the direct primary
law Will have been decided and that a
candidate for mayor Will have been
chosen

thus engaged would not have noticed
the approach Of the boats for a sec
