which the vote Is divided makes many
think that the chance Of "darl

ever before.
AS soon as the convention adjourn

a caucus and a desperate effort will
be made today to rally enough dele
gates To the Clark standard to pu;
his nomination through on the sec-
ond or third ballot.
The Wilson delegates are much
encouraged because he received all
the votes claimed for him on the
first ballot. This showed that the
Wilson strength Is solid and will
stick.
III Is generally felt that the second
ballot may show radical change in
the result. since many of the dele
gates pledged or instructed for GER
tain candidates do not feel that it is
obligatory after the first ballot to
vote as instructed and will throw
their votes to the candidate Of their
individual choice.
When the morning sun replaced
the electric lights. remarkable
scene was disclosed in the Armory.

Divisions.

The ordinance authorizing the
construction of a main sewer o tlet
for main sewer No. 3, in district
No. 8 was given second reading
and advanced to third reading and
final passage at the council meeting
Monday night. 1t provides for the
payment of the construction of the
outlet by a tax agains' all of the reaI
estate of the city as it had been
previously agreed that it was unjusr
to require the propery owners in
the new district to bear also the ex
pense of the consid, rlble further
sewer necessary fer securing an
outlet.
The outlet is to extend south
from the intersection Of the center
lines of East Chestnut and North
Ashby where main sewer No. 3 is
to end. The proposed outlet ap
proaches Main street from the
north along the center line of the
alley between N. Ashby and North
Katy and from Main street will run
southeasterly to the manhole where
Main sewers I and 2 connect with
the main sewer outlet of the city.
The bids to be made are as usual
are to be for construction to con-
form with the specifications made
by the city engineer.
Upon motion of Nation and Fill
son the city clerk was authorized to
advertise for bids for the construc-
ton of the outlet and the new sewer
IN three sections. The first part is
to be the outlet itself, the second
the sewer between the intersection
of E Chestnut and N. Malcolm and
Forest avenue, and the third sec
ton the sewer to be laid west of
