That Was the Conclusion Reached Last Night by Committee of One Hun dred and Twenty-Five i'll a Brief Session
ENTHUSIASTIC
 AND HARMONIOUS
Without a Dissenting Voice the Motion of Judge kib- bey to Defer Action on the Endorsement of Can didates Was Adopted

That the time had not yet come Tor the endorsement by the committee ol One Hundred and Twenty-Five, ot can didates for the office of mayor and TOT places on the commission, was the unanimous opinion of the committee at the meeting last night. That eXprcs- sion was given after the report the sup committee instructed at the last meet ing of the committee to present the names of at least twenty persons lrolii whom selection would be made by the committee, for endorsement, had been submitted The report of the sub com mittee contained tWenty-four names. Following the report seven mountainous of candidates were made from the floor of the committed When the last of the names had been offered from the floor, Judge Kibbey whose name headed the list presented by the sub b-commlttee rose.
 He said that now the names of more than thirty candidates had been offered to the committee for it's consideration for the endorsement of such of them as the committee desired to fill the five elective offices Beside these, the names of other persons had been filed and within the period allowed by law doubtless the petitions of many other candidates would be filed.
 Said Judge Kibbey: "The committee should not act precipitately. There will probably be more names suggested by the committee and by persons who are not members of the committed By taking action on the names now before us. we may overlook desirable caEd-- dates who will be presented in the manner prescribed by our primary law There are about 4000 voters in the city and under the law, each one may sign a petition for five candidates.
 The committee had not proposed to forestall the primary law It could not do so if it desired. But the committee should have time to consider all the candidates who may be presented by petition and should also have time and opportunity to consider the influences behind the various candidates.
 Therefore, I move you, Mir. Chair man, that the matter of endorsing can didates be deferred until the next meet ing of this committee after the peti- tions under the primary law have all been filed"
 And that when the committee ad- journ. it adjourn subject to the call If the chair" suggested Captain J. L. B. Alexander With five days notice by the chair to the members of the con- mittee" added Judge Kibbey. The mo- ton was seconded by pr. H. A. Hughes and was unanimously carried.
 The committee was prepared to make a selection from the list of candidates offered by the sub committee and those presented from the floor but the mo- ton offered by Judge Kibbey met with instant approval as it was seen that the broader field for selection would be advantageous to the committee and would probably result in securing q stronger ticket than could otherwise be suggested by the committee. After tho meeting was over those members who had most heartily favored the endorse rnent of five candidates expressed theii qualification at the adoption of tho Kibbey motion.
 When the committee was called tC order by Chairman Talbot a little be- fore eight o'clock a quorum had already arrived. In the absence of Geo. H Smalley secretary of the committed Gus Noll acted as secretary. The frs roll call disclosed the presence of moro than a quorum. Some arrived while tn, call was in progres and answered to ; second call Several others arrived later. showing an increased attendance over the last meeting, though severa active members were unable to be pres ent
 At the request of the chairman, W c. Foster of the sub committee pre- sented the report containing the name of the following candidates for the con sideration of the committee: J. H. Kib bey. Aaron Goldberg. Roy s. Goodrich
