 The political situation is g.tting critical and the dope mixers are concerned over the fact that the ding gasted thing wont mix pi operlv It was even hinted that the mass meeting on Tuesday may fall through. The eligible possibilities are rather modest about allowing their names to be mentioned and hence the use of calling public meeting has been questioned. A gathering of this sort where muni- cipal questions would be aired and the city fathers allowed to hear what their friends and enemies think of them would be quite stimu- lating It is now almost certain that all the present councilmen will be candidates for office; that is all these who have to retire after the year of service. The number of ci- tizens who are interesting them selves in framing up tickets and rustling candidates is so numerous that the interest is very great al though many do not know why it is. At an open meeting there would unquestionably be things said which would clear the air and such a mass meeting ought to be encouraged. That is what one hears throughout the town on the subject very gen orally. Another few days and things will develop at any rate.
