The leaders, which took place imme-
iiately following the adjournment of
Council Monday afternoon.
Supporters of Alderman l. n. Rags
lale second strongest in the race for
Mayor Pro Tenn, are by no means
willing to concede victory to Alder
man Nutting They really expect to
win, but they admit that their only
nance is to get all the support that is
now lined up behind Alderman j. H.
Harwell
Conceding that that strength goes
o Alderman Ragsdale, the Nutting
men claim that they still have their
II votes. Alderman Nutting has been
put forward as a strictly anti Wood
ward party candidate and the leaders
If this faction take the view they
ant afford to suffer defeat. They
would regard the defeat of Nutting as
q Woodward victory in Council,
something that has not happened
since the beginning of the present
administration.
Woodward Keeps Silent
Mayor Woodward is silent, and that
adds to the uncertainty of the situa-
ton. He might exert himself before
The voting takes place.
Another unsettled point is that
new member of Council must be
elected from the Second Ward before
the selection of the new Mayor Pro
Tenn. Councilman Thomas l. Lynch,
senior Councilman from that Ward,
announced Tuesday that he would re-
sign on December l. His successor
will be named by Council instead OF
by the voters of that ward. 1t is SAID
hat either Robert r. Otis or j. l..
McCOrd will be the man. 1t is not
vet known how either of these would
,tand in the Mayor Pro Tenn. fight.
But if the Nutting forces control
he strength they claim, the new
'ouncilman, whoever he may be, very
kelly will be Nutting supporter
lie would have to be that to get
-Iected,
