MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS SELECT C. J. L0mEu
 CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR

The citizens meeting informally called for the nomination of city officers held at Eagle hall last night was well attended, there being a: least three hundred people present, with a fair sprinkling of the fair sex evincing a general interest and civic pride on part of the citizens.

He criticised none of his predecessors in office and said that comparisons would be odious but promised to give the best service he was capable of. His remarks were loudly applauded. The meeting lasted over two hours.
