Will PREPARE
FULL TICKET
City Com mittee Decides to Place Com
plete List Of Names on Pri-
mary Ballot.
DONE AS A PROTECTION
Nominees May Withdraw Later and
Committeeman Will Have Power
tc Fill the Vacancies.

The democrats of the city will have
a full ticket to vote on at the primary
election. This was decided last even
ing at the meeting of the city commit
tee and other democrats at the Turner
hall. The committee appointed to con
fer with Nj. III. Sexton reported that
for various reasons Mr.. Sexton has de-
clined to become a candidate for may
or. 1t was brought out that if no petit
tons are filed and no names are print
ed on the primary ballot, any voter
may write in the name of some person
he wishes nominated, and the one re
ceiving plurality of such votes would
be duly nominated as the party candi-
date.
In order to protect the interests OF
the party against such contingency
as an undesirable nomination by such
methods, it was decided to circulate
petitions for full ticket, the under
standing being that if the men named
do not care to remain in the field as
candidates. they will have the priyi-
lcge of Withdrawing.
The city committee, in case of any
such Withdrawals after the primary,
can, up to certain time, fill the vacan-
cies in the ticket by nominating other
men, if it is desired to present a full
ticket at the election.
A motion by Alderman c. ]. Smith
following suggestion by Alderman
w. Blochlinger, was adopted, provid
ing that the committee select full
ticket and circulate the necessary pc
titions to have these names placed on
the primary ballot.
