Other Candidates Out

Between ; Men
President of Park Board Resigns in Order to Oppose
Present Incumbent of Mayoralty Chair-Lynn
Opposed Fawcett Before.

A. V. Fawcett, e. A. Lynn and
w. w. Seymour will make the
race for mayor April 4, at the re-
CALL election brought against May
or Fawcett.
Fawcett will stand for re-elec-
tion against those who seek to
oust him. Lynn was formerly
president of the council and ran
second in the race in which Faw-
cett won with a majority over all
with seven candidates last year.
Seymour recently has been presi-
dent of the park board and a mil
lionaire.
Seymour resigned as a member
of the park board at a meeting
last night to make the race, the
charter providing that no one
may be a candidate for office in
the city government while holding
any other position.
Attempts were made to get
everyone off the track to clear the
way for finish fight at one cleo
tion between Seymour and Faw-
cett, but Lynn declares he will not
quit.
"My petitions will be filed this
afternoon" said Lynn at noon To-
day.
Charles Drury has retired from
the race and Jimmy Davis, VINO
announced from Olympia last
week that he would run, has quit
and will possibly get in on the
coming election for commissioners
as a candidate against Nick Law
son.
Mr.. Drury said this morning
that he understood the race had
narrowed to Seymour and Fawcett
and that he considered it would be
better for the general interests of
the city that he withdraw in order
to make the race cleaner cut.
Mr.. Lynn's announcement that
he would not withdraw was made
to the Times not long before press
time and Mr.. Drury could not be
found. 1t is improbable that he
will file his petition.
