With HUTSON ON
IT,EANNOUNCED
Charles Armgardt to Run for
Reelection as a Member
of the Council.
TOM MOORE TO RUN
AGAINST DR.. FRISTOE
Salve Spreaders Pitted Against
Each Other for Police Court
Judge.

Mayor +. A. Rage last night an
nounced the names of candidates who
will run with him in the spring cleo
tion 1t will be known as the Citizens
ticket. The candidates are:
Mayor, +. A. Rage.
Collector, George III. Meyer.
Treasurer, ]. +. MastersOn.
Assessor, Harry P. Gaines.
City Attorney, X. H. Whitelaw.
Police Judge, Tom 4. Moore.
For Council.
Walter ID. Black, LIST ward.
Charles Armgardt, End ward.
Charles kaess, 3rd ward.
Tom ]. Gill, 4th ward.
This announcement contains but few
surprises. 1t was generally believed
that Charles Armgardt would make
the race for Police Chief, and his close
personal friends had passed the word
down the line several weeks ago that
he would be the opponent of jeff. Hut
son.
Tom Moore, (nOt the cigar, the
candidate for Judge of Police Court, to
succeed Harry f. Alexander, was an
other surprise. Mr. Moore is an agent
for nursery, but has never been re-
garded as a politician, although it has
been known that he would sprout out
along that line if the opportunity ever
presented itself. Mr.. Moorse is a small
man, walks as erect as a magistrate
and wears an iron gray mustache.
Tom Gill takes the place of Jay
Fowler, the present Councilman from
the fourth ward. Gill, who is a rail
road conductor and considered pc
litical bear cat, grew to manhood IN
Cape Girardeau politics. He knows the
game, it is said, as we'll as a coon dog
knows the scent of a. quarry. He has
represented the second ward in the
Council on several occasions, and his
friends say Mr. Gill feels lonesome
when out of Office.
jeff Hutson, apparently, will make
the race for Marshal without oppO-
sition. There are several males in the
city who would like 20 have this job,
but none that believes he can defeat
the veteran custodian of the peace. 1t
is quite likely that the name Of Mr..
Hutson will go on the Phillips ticket
also.
Chas. Armgardt, who first thought
he would prefer the chiefship to the
Council, is bandmaster at the Normal
School, and is a handy man at most
any position. In addition to serving
as Chief of Police, which he did with
credit, he has been policeman, a
member Of the fire department, and at
one time was in business for himself.
With the exceptions of Moore, Gill
and Hutson, the men comprising the
Citizens Ticket are at present hold
ing city offices.
J. w. Phillips, who will oppose
Mayor Rage for reelection, has not
completed his ticket, but expects to
make the announcement within a few
days. 1t is understood that Council
man Fowler will be the only member
of that body at the present time who
will be chosen to run with Phillips. 1t
was generally believed that Black
would also go on the Phillips ticket,
but this plan has been abandoned, it
was announced last night.
Dr. T. P. Fristoe, beau brummel and
theatrical magnate is slated to run on
the Phillips ticket for Police Judge.
This was announced in The Tribune
several days ago, before it was sus-
pectet+ that Col. Tom Moore had de-
signs on the place. While DR.. Fristoe
is gentleman of the old school var
iety, he has nothing on Col. Tom when
Is comes to handing out what is known
as the Irish currency" or spreading
the salve."
