The campaign in the city promises
to be more lively than at first anticl-
pated as the Socialists are out with a
list of candidates, the names Of whom
it is understood they will write on
the tickets and ask others to do the
same. SO far as known no other
ticket except the regular one nomin-
ated at the Citizens mass convention
will be before the voters, although
there are all sorts Of rumors rife
about the springing of a ticket at the
last moment by certain men about the
city who are dissatisfied with all or
part Of the ticket.
Although City Clerk Williams re-
ported to The TIMES at 8 o'clock
Saturday night mat no other ticket
than the Citizens had been placed
for filing, he anticipated things just
ten minutes, for the records show
that at $40 p. M, the Socialists
placed for filing certificate of nom
ination, which, omitting the caption
