Question of lndorsing Noll-

Vexing One.

The Republicans now have movement
on foot to put a party ticket In the hciG
at the coming city election. After weeks
OF hesitation and doubt on the part OF ihe

spring n surprise by indorsing six Re-
publican candidates at meeting to be
held next Monday evening In Judge Lew
