FIGHT ON POLLOCK
CREATES IN INTEREST
All Over the City Voters Are
Awaiting Outcome in Madi-
son Ward.

The fight on Councilman Gilbert X.
Pollock continues to be the feature
of the councilmanic race. and Is at
tracing interest far outside of the
bounds of Madison Ward. Mr.. Pollock
has secured, in addition to the letters
of Endorsement from Mayor Richard
son and former Mayor Mccarthy, let
ter. or opinion. from City Attorney
Pollard, to the effect that there is no
iuegality in member of the City
Council practicing as a lawyer in the
city courts. nor in his appearing as
attorney in defense of clients charg-
ed with violation of city ordinance.
The Pollock contest bids fair to be
the chief matter of interest when the
returns come In on Thursday night.
as 1t is admitted that 1t is so far a
draw that the Madison Ward leader
is lighting for his political life. and
that he is sore beset, although his cup
porters predict triumphant victory.
The returns will come in to room
adjoining old Sanger Hall, which has
been torn down. In the absence OF
a large hall in which the politicians
might gather. the committee has ar
ranged TO display the returns by o
stereopticon in view of the crowd in
the street below.
The most vigorous canvassing in the
city is in Jefferson Ward, where the
present members realize that there is
a strong opposition. Councilman
Lynch says his friends are too enthu-
siastlc IN claiming that he VIII lead
the ticket, as his independent course

back with something less than top

PICKED AN ODD NAME.
An Authors Long Search and a Sub

sequent Surprise.
When Albion w. Tourgee wrote "A
FOOLS Errand" he named one Of his
leading characters Theron Pardee. An
early copy of the book fell into the
hands of the Rev. Luther Pardee. an
Episcopal clergyma of Chicago. whose
father was named Thereon Pardee.
The name is such an unusual combina-
ton that in amazement the rector
showed the book to his father, and
they were both puzzled by the coinci-
dence. They decided to write Judge
Tourgee and ask him what had led him
to use the name. He replied. in equal
amaZement. that he had not supposed
there was such a man living as The
ron Pardee. Then he stated that he
had a prolonged search for suitable
name for the character of his story
one that would express just what he
imagined this character to be. In the
course of the hunt an old copy Of the
curriculum Of Union college had fallen
into his hands. 1t was dated 1925, or
something as far back. and among the
names of the students was one Thereon
Pardee. The judge said it had i'm
pressed him as being one Of the rich
est. most solid and most satisfying
names he ever had heard. so he decid-
ed to adopt it for his character. The
curriculum was SO old that he had no
hesitation In using the name. and he
was astonished to learn that the right
full owner of it was living. His expla-
nation was accepted and the resulting
acquaintance was pleasing all around.
