do so.
A number Of important candidates filed
yesterday. Among them was John f..
Shultz, the republican candidate for the
office Of city treasurer. He is the only one
OF that persuasion to file for the office Of
treasurer. 1t is likely he will have little
opposition for The nomination. Mr.. Shultz
is well known in South Omaha and has
been an active figure in local politics. He
has served the city in the capacity Of in
spector for two years.
c. M. Rich filed yesterday for a seat on
the Board Of Fire and Police Commission

Beard of Education and has in that ca

and friends.
George ID. Ellis, republican, filed for the
city council in the First ward.
Only two democrats appeared. John
Murphy filed for the council in the Fourth
ward and George Hauptman, formerly coun-
Gilman, filed for the Board Of Fire and
Police Commissioners
A meeting of the democrats was held
at the city hail Thursday evening. 1t was
said Of the meeting that a slate ticket was
attempted, including the favored friends of
w. H. Queenan, one of the candidates for
mayor, and excluding several whose aspira-
lions have been soaring. The result will
probably make a storm in that section of
the political horizon.
