SUGGEST KEITH
TO HEAD TICKET
American" City Committee
Casting About for Suitable
Candidate for Mayor.

At a meeting of the city committee of
the American" party held last evening
the unpleasant positions in which the
American" party finds itself with ref
erence to a mayoralty candidate was
made apparent. There are several candi-
dates for the nomination on the Amer
lean ticket, but not one is considered a
sure winner by the party.
Il Q. Mcmillan, who has been looked
upon as the leading candidate to head the
American ticket. was practically put
out Of the running by the committee at
last night 5 meeting. because it was felt
that he could not win. A strong sentiment
has recently developed in the inner circle
favoring David Keith for mayor. and his
Keith has been one Of the leading SUD-
porters of the party since its organization
and, should he accept the nomination,
would probably make a strong Candi-
date. He is known to have an aversion
for political hOnoTs. however, and il is
practically a certainty that he will de-
cline to become candidate for the NOM
nation.
Both within and without the Amer
lean" party there is a growing demand
for the reelection of Mayor John 5.
BransfOrd. COgnzsnt Of this peace over
lures have been made TO the mayor by
leading machine Americans. 1t has
been suggested that if the mayor will
agree with his party leaders on one or two
questions the party leaders will support
him In all other phases Of the city admin
istration. These OVeTtuTes have been met
by Mayor Bra1sford with his positive
decilnauOn TO be machine candidate for
any position. In spite of the insisteucy
Of his supporters. It is said Mayor Brans-
ford probably will not be a candidate for
re-election-at least not on the "Ameri-
can" ticket
