gado, Ballard Coldwel and W. c.
Bulger
1t is said that a slate was virtually
decided upon at this meeting, although
the constable's job was left open SO
those not ''in on the know" tonight
would, by picking a man for this place,
think they had been helping to pick
the whole ticket
J. d. Ponder is to be run again for
treasurer, Notwithstanding that the
ring" leaders do not believe il would
be wise to oppose A. r. Webb, nOmi-
nee of the anti-ring crowd. since he
is a union carpenter and is said to
have the solid backing of union men.
To square themselves with the union
vote, it was decided, it is said, to take
on Bill" Bulger. Of the Santa Fe
force, and J. W. Ramage, another
union carpenter, on the ring" ticket.
Afraid of Dan.
1t is said that no candidate will be
put out against Dan N. jackson for

Anti-BituIithic Campaign.
The ring is to make its stand on /
wO issues. il is said-cOncrete against 1
,itulithic, and clubs versus the legiti-
nate saloon. The anti-ring people i
AVE. il is said, more or less shown /
ecided leaning towards the well tried i
itulithic pavement, so the ring" has
aiken the concrete side, though when
n power il refused to put down any
oncrete and most Of the paving was
he socalled Brady pavemtnt."
The local city administration has
gently taken drastic steps to rid the
ity Of a number Of illegitimate clubs,
nd a number of the owners OF these
Iubs are said to have Joined hands
With the old ring crowd, under whose
they grew up, lived and
ad their being.
Ii is said that the complexion Of the
ring" ticket is so cosmopolitan that
ny reference to things national, from
political standpoint. will be taboo.
Strange BedfeiiOws.
The meeting tonight is expected 10
e a sort Of movie production OF
he great scenario entitled Politics
lakes Strange Bedfellows." Among
hose present and rubbing elbows in
he same political "uplift movement /
ill be Joseph U. Sweeney and Joseph
[. Nealon-the two Joes who were. but
few years ago, at each others po-
tical threats in heart breaking race
Or mayor Of Ell PasO. The meeting !
might will be the first occasion upon
-hich the two erstwhile mayoralty
lndidates have met in common since
lose eventful days. Then, again, there
ill be Ike Alderete and Fred Del
ado, who have been longtime politl-
al enemies. During the mayoralty
3mpaign last year Ike carried de-
dedly noticeable black eye which, he
LEGGED, he received at the hands OF |
red Delgado in political argument.
owever, I'VE have with US this eve
ing both of these clasping hands

r. Vowel and Mr.. Bridgers will ap-
sar en- bloc as the oratOrical team
sstined to furnish much of the wind
r the ring" mill in the coming cam
,ign.
Don't Like Name Ring. I
The hackers Of the new ticket are '
sisting that the old ring is not 5
lrt or parcel of it's makeup.
However, the makeup of the ticket
I'd the personnel OF the men operat-
g the strings behind the scene are 5
id by anti-ring critics to disprove the 2
aim. /
