Alderman James P. Garrity of the and district who is the Democratic candidate for collector of taxes will tonight resign his membership in the Common council Alderman Garrity believes in living strictly up to the charter requirements. He is not like Coroner Wilson who wants to hold down the job of Coroner while seeking an election as mayor. Mr. Garrity is making a fine fight for election as col- lector. He has legion of friends throughout, the city in both parties and they are leaving no stone unturn- ed to elect him. His Republican op- ponent is deluding himself with the belief that he will get big Demo- cratic vote.
 The Republican nominee is mistaken. There is no dissatisfaction over the nomination of MT. Garrity. The lat ter did not seek the office It came to him against his will and he but obeyed the mandate of the convention when it named him.
 MT. Garrity publicly announces that if he is successful he will maintain the present high standard of that office and that there will be no change in the personnel of the office
 He has received assurances from many Republicans that they will vote for him because of the manner in which his opponent was nominated. The same objection is made to the Republican nominee for town clerk that is made to the other candidates on the Republican ticket, that each and every one of them was at the instigation of the Warner King OrOI1D
