MAY GET TOGETHER
ON THE WEST SIDE
Scheme Is Devised to Hold Mass Meet
ing and Agree Upon Single.
Candidate.

Sectional representation is proposed
by j. Farley White, state bank eXamin.
er and former deputy sheriff, who yes
terday appeared as candidate for city
commissioner. Mr.. White, who lives on
the west side, declares that there should
be some one on the city commission
with close acquaintance Of the needs
Of the west side, and he proposes that
all candidates for city commissioner liv-
the decision Of mass meeting Of citi-
zens living west of Main street as to
what candidate the entire west side
shall support.
An agreement embodying Mr.. White IS
scheme has been prepared by him, and
it was signed yesterday by Mr.. White
and by J, w. Wilson, west side mer-
chant, who yesterday also appeared as
a candidate for commissioner. Mr..
White plans to request Arnold g.
Giauque, c. Frank Emery, Gustave
Buschman and any other west siders
who may be candidates for city commits
sioner to sign this agreement. The pro-
posal is that the mass convention shall
nominate a west side resident for city
commissioner, whereupon all other can
didates signing the agreement shall
withdraw from the race.
In support of the plan Mr.. White
points out that there is at present no
member of the city commission who
lives on the west side. He declares that
it is of vital interest to the people of
the west side to have one Of their num-
Der on the commission With so many
candidates from the west side, however,
he fears that there is little probability
that any one of these will be nominated
at the primary election. IF a sufficient
number Of candidates sign the agTeo-
ment to make the plan feasible a mass
convention will be held on the west side
