LOCKERbY IS NOMINATED FOR MAYOR
Primary Names Reed Fisher Hayden and Carber for
Holcomb Johnson and Wright also Successful-Inde-
pendent Ticket May be Filed Later

At present it looks as if there will
be but one official ticket in the
field at the coming city election,
December 5th. At the primary on
Tuesday, the successful candidates
were S. M. Lookerby for mayor; J.
J. Reed for councilman at large;
Irwin Fisher, Carl Hayden and G..
CARRIER for councilmen; G.. l.. Hol-
comb for attorney; J. L. Johnson
for treasurer, and T. J. Wright for
clerk. Whether an independent
ticket will be placed in the field
later to run against these men has
not been decided upon and will de-
pend upon the activity of the indie
pendent supporters.
With no candidate for mayor,
and only one name filed for council
man, the official primary ticket was
a bare looking affair when the polls
opened Tuesday morning. J. A.
Corder was the lone candidate for
councilman, while C. l.. Holcomb
for attorney, J. l.. Johnson for
treasurer and T. J. Wright for clerk
were the only other names appear
ing on the printed ballot.
H. A. Bier had been urged from
all sides to run again for mayor,
but as late as Saturday night he
had steadily refused to accept the
honor. S. M. Lockerby also had
been sounded as to his willingness
to accept the job. but had declared
that if Mr.. Bier could be induced
to run again he (Lockerby) would
not let his name be used.
Saturday night an open conven-
ton was held at the N. P. [. Co.
office and an advisory ballot en-
dorsed, with Bier for mayor, Reed,
Rudkin, Weisel and Church for
councilmen and Moulton for attor-
ney. They had slips printed, con-
tanning these names, but did not
attempt to have the names of their
candidates put on the official ballot
with stickers.
Monday night another open eau
Gus was held in the Woodman Hall
and Lockerby was nominated for
mayor, with Reed. Fisher, Hayden
and CARRIER as councilmen and
George Tweedt for treasurer. The
committee from this convention
had stickers printed and used them
to such good advantage during elec-
tion day that all their candidates

Along toward evening of Tues
day the men who had called the
Saturday night convention evident
ly had 'hunch" that their 'Ad-
visory Ballot" was not being taken
as very good advice. go half-dozen
or so held a closed meeting behind
the doors of Vessels office and de-
cided not to accept the result of the
primary, but to put their candidates
on file with the clerk so that they
will appear on the official ballot at
the December election.
We understand that this will be
done, although at this writing the
City Clerk has received no notice to
this effect, and should the filing be
made, there seems to be some ques-
ton as to whether such action would
be legal. Should the filing of the
second ticket be allowed, local poll
ticians are prophesying hard con-
test between the two factions to
seat their respective candidates in
December. In Mr.. 'Bier's case, be
would have had no opposition what
ever if he had not, up until the
the last minute, declared that he
would not again be candidate.

 As 1t happens, Buzukos does possess both of these qualities and a few weeks ago he made up his mind that he would like to revisit Alaska. The fact that he did not have any bank account, did not freeze the plucky Italian.

Also he had no excuse to offer when lis attention was called to the fact that three of the school teachers were dane ing as late or later than two o'clock.
 One of the mothers stated to MT. Grimm that he should feel comple- mentcd that scholars Were allowed to attend the school in it's present state.
