Mayor Harry W. Shepherd, who has
ciines to allow the use of his name again,
and Oswald A. Greager captain of the
local military company, has agreed to ac-
cept the office. and there does not appear
to be any well defined opposition to his
election. In the first ward DR.. Guy w.

John G. Holden declines to again become
a candidate. and it is believed that either

second ward, and George NJ. Mcfarland
