Now that the municipal election is
over all eyes are turned 10 the pros

is claimed by the party recently put In
power that nothing of this kind has
yet been decided. But the corner
politicians have it all figured out and
have a man for each and every posi-
ton, even to the patrolmen on the
streets
The position of city marshal is one
that is practically settled by all and
that is Charles M. Richardson of Ward
3. He has long been associated with
the party and his friends feel that he
Is justified in having the office. For
deputy marshal there is considerable
doubt. Some say Former Officer
George II. Simpson, and others who
are not favorable toward him. would
give Edward Booth the place and have
Mr.. Simpson act as ianitor of the City
building.
Without doubt Fred w. Clair will be

he has held that Office about every

the position of city solicitor. Mark j..
