bee much Of a kick. Lozier had charge
Of the last city campaign here. They
turned It over TO him after the re-
publicans had put 1t over them in the
first election. Lozier used all tho
tricks he had picked up in thiuy-some-
odd years Of democratic wheel-hors-
ing Now he has got a job that doesn't
pay very much salary, but isn't such
very hard job, either. Lo2ier used
to be state dispensary agent, but that
was in the days when he ran state
wide campaigns, instead Of little dinky
city affairs.
Carson city Treasurer.
Usher Carson was appointed city
treasurer to succeed Phil Kramer. The
rank and file generally accept Car
sons appointment as slap at John
] Miller and the other candidates for tho
POSITION, who worked night and day
1 for the election of Wooden and the
rest OF the bunch.
r. c. Hughes got his reward for
faithful service by being reappolntcd
to the office OF city engineer. c. A.
/ Houston was retained as municipal
Judge G. J. Meacham, who ran
things in precinct 2S, Is to be build
ing and sidewalk inspector for anoth
er term, and Sam Patton holds over
as sewer inspector.
The present city officers, before
their election, made alluring promises
to the taxpayers that they would
make the building and sidewalk in
81 cctor, the electrical inspector and
. the sewer inspector, the job Of one
person instead Of three but after they
cot in office the faithful had to be
rewarded. "To the victor belongs tho
spoils" IIense the appointments Of
the same number of officers as helped

Martin administration from Ind
cations the list of the faithful is to
be Increased rather than decreased.
The administration has formed its
"inner circle composed of Wooden,
/ Forsythe and Downing, The rest OF
the bunch are mere figureheads. They
are dead sore about it all, too, but
/ they can do nothing,
The majority of the democrats who
/ looked for reward didn't get 1t. or
course they are feeling perfectly happy
/ and contented!
-Four Are Rcappointcd.
-Four more appointments were CON
flrmed by the city officials yesterday.
Dr. u. NJ. Wadsworth, superintendent
of health; DR.. j. f. Webb, city ply
sician: j. r. Ramsey, city attorney,
and -. +. Moore. plumbing inspector,
were the ones appointed. They are all
.reappointments,
About the only appointments now
remaining are for the offices of cleo
trlcal Inspector and chief of police.
Ross owens, the present ELECTRICAL in
spertor. will probably be retained IN
that position.
The police department deadlock as
s,lmed serious proportions yesterday
when, after II had been practically de-
cided between democratic party lead
ers and the administration, that ed
Yoder should be named chief, the Of
ficials baked and no action was taken.
Yoder has the endorsement and
hearty support OF nine-tenths Of the
democrats of the city, who realize
+ that he has taken an active part in
the partys battles for the past sew
eial years, without reward of any
kind. Noder has had police experience
and Is generally conceded to be an
efficient man for the office. lie is
"A citizen and taxpayer here. w. j.
Creekmore. the power behind the
throne" is opposed to Yoder's ap
pointmcnt. and therein lies the con-
troversy. II anyone but Ioder is APP
pointed he will assuredly be Greek
more man." according to leading DEM
ocrats,
Anything for a split.
ollie Marshall. who before the city
election was an avowed candidate for
sheriff was thrown into the race foi
chief Of police, directly after the elec-
tion 10y Tate Brady. II was hoped TO
thus form n deadlock between YoGer
aud Marshall, and thereby leave an
opening for third mar who had been
decided upon Charles Hanson. a
drug clerk. was the favored party
But John o. Mitchell and other we'll
known democrats told the city Off
clals that Ed Yoder was the choice
Of the party and must be named.
Creokmore. on the other hand, Issued
def to the effect that anyone but
Yoder must be chief or there would
be wailing and gnashing Of teeth
among the commissioners.
Two commissioners are standing pat
for Yodcr and each Of the other
three has candidate Of his own.
