ticket filed also contains the names OF
certain candidates for city and council
honors.
Those behind the "Citizens" ticket
stated today that no compromise was
effected with relation to candidates
for the city council. Those active in
the plan for a compromise were Frank
Clark and David Urquhart. Both act
ed in harmony in endeavoring to name
candidates for the city council who
would meet the expected requirements
Mr.. Urquhart stated today that no
compromise was reached on candidates
for council, the impression having
been gained that such a compromise
was effected because all factions had
agreed on Mr.. Gibson for mayor.

positions on the council" said Mr..
.sJrauhart. "Both Frank Clark and m ,
self were committee selected to meet
