that no one can be found who seems
to desire the nomination If anyone

Asked as to whether there were any

Thomas Ingram for the Republican
nomination for treasurer.
The reluctance otanyone To take the

Voters May Enroll as Members Of the
Citizens Party Here.
The action of Mayor Dodge in lgnor
ing the Citizens party in the matter OF
naming election commissioners and in
spectors. because as he stated. the citi-
zen's party Is not recognized party
in this state, has aroused considerable
interest among the members of the
party and an opinion received from
Attorney General Kuhn in response 10
inquiries seems to indicate that the
stand taken by Mayor Dodge is an in
correct one. Following Is what the
attorney general says on the subject:
"There is no question but If the
members of the citizens party enroll
M members OF that party they may
participate i'm the primary election.
The fact that citizens party IS not
mentioned i'm the act in no wise inter
feres with the rights OF such party To
select it's candidates under the primary
election system"

the Socialist party, which proposes 10

the exception of alderman and super
