TO have been so active against
certain candidates Of the court

necessary for q member Of the civil
service board TO lecture them about
their activity in politics. This ac-
tivity has been against those candi-
dates who have opposition from can
dida-es either now connected with
the city administration or closely al
lied with city officials. For instance,
i has been openly said that Seth
Orndorff and c. n Mckinney are be-
ing opposed by city officials in favor

with city affairs or city officials. j. Os-
ear Crowson, city employe, is also said
TO be receiving the support OF the
police and other city employees for

Davis has the endorsement Of the
county officeholders for the position.
Certain city officials are also said 10
be opposing W H Fryer for reelec-
ton as county attorney. This is par
ticularly true OF some OF the police.
Whether the O'Counor-County

in the city administration except Mr..

that the men on the ticket viii be for
