PHILLIPS TICKET
FILLED AT LAST
MUM BEST ON IT
Sperling, PrOhibitiOnist, ChOs-
en- to Offset Tom Juden's
Work For Rage.
DRUMM MAY SMILE
THROUGH TO VICTORY
Candidate for Assessor is Among
the VOters-POliticians
Puzzled.


At a meeting of his political lieu
tenants in the Elks' Club last night,
J. ". Phillips, candidate for Mayor,
filled out his ticket. Joe Z. Num-, Jr.,
agreed to make the race for City Col
lectOr, opposing George Meyer, the
Kage candidate Mr.. Num- is easily
the strongest man on the Phillips tick
ct, and he is expected to strengthen
his running mates chances of victory
w. J. Sperling, 4 marble dealer,
was selected to make the race for
City Treasurer. He is an out and out
prohibitionist, and it is said he was
given a place on the ticket to offset
the work among the drys which is be-
ing done by Tom Juden. Mr.. Juden is
lining up the white-ribbon voters for
the Mayor, and Mr.. Sporting is count
cd upon to toll some Of the drys TO
Phillips.
&. ii. Drumm, 4 motorman for the
Missouri Public Utilities Company,
was chosen to run for Assessor. He
gave his consent early in the day and
Immediately began looking for votes.
He made d cruise up Good Hope street,
greeting every man who mad reached
maturity with a friendly smile.
Edward Drum was selected for
City Attorney, as was announced in
The Tribune several days ago, and
DIR. T. P Fristoe was chosen for
Judge Of the Police Court.
A H. Mueller, the butcher, was
placed on the Council ticket from the
first ward; Sam Boutin from the sec
ond; Henry Brunke, third, and Jay Z.
Fowler in the fourth.
y. jefferson Hutson, custodian Of
the peace in the southwestern part of
the city, was placed on the ticket for
Chief of Police. Mr.. Hutson is also
on the Kagc ticket and his name may
go on the Schulz ticket. He is too
strong for opposition, and it is quite
likely that he will get more votes than
any two candidates for mayor COM
bined
Efforts are being made by both
Rage and Phillips to line up the vets
and drys. Interest is becoming intense
in the political situation, and the can
didatcs want to make the tickets at
tractivc TO those who are damp as well
as the dry advocates.
Mr.. Phillips stated that he would
not go on record on the liquor qucs-
ton. q will not make a public state
mcnt on that matter" he said. 1t is
believed that he expects the wet and
dry question to come into the cam
paign. "My position on that question
is generally known" he added.
Mayor Rage has never been an
tagnOstic to the wet element, but
liquor dealers began to cross their
fingers and look for rabbit feet when
they learned that Tom Judcn has en-
tered the Rage bandwagon, and was
beckoning to the drvs.
But as the situation now stands the
wet and dry interests are well cared
for on the two tickets announced.
DR.. Schulz, twas announced last
night, would have his ticket completed
early in the week. Candidates on the
other two tickets are specializing as to
the personnel of his running mates.
As the candidates who run with Rage
and Phillips are forbidden to permit
their names to go on other tickets, it
is not easy to pick the men who will
run with Schulz.
All candidates agree that the COM
ing campaign will be one Of the most
interesting iT the recent history Of
Cape Girardeau. Rage, Schulz and
Phillips have been before the voters
before and each has a LARGE follow
ing. Few predictions are being made
as to the outcome of the three-corner-
ed fight.
Disinterested voters are awaiting
the statements of the three men on
public Questions now confronting the
people of this city before champion
ing the cause of either candidate.
