DenSon voters, numbering almost
four hundred, gathered at the gym
nasium Thursday evening at o'clock
and selected two tickets for the city
election to be held Monday, March
25th. The caucus. which was termed
citizens caucus, had no standing &C
cording to law and it was necessary
to circulate petitions on Friday and
Saturday in order to have the candi
dates who were named appear on the
official ballot The required number
of signatures were secured and duly
filed with the city clerk, E. +. Tucker
and the ticket as printed at the head
of this column will be voted on at the
coming election.
J. 3. Lyon presided at the caucus
Friday evening and r. E. Mote acted
as secretary. Mr.. Lyon called the
meeting to order and explained its pur
poses. 1t was decided that the two
candidates receiving the highest mum

Rollins 70 and Lyon 81. with. 25 scat
tering votes. Laub gained consider
able strength in the formal ballot with
Rollins receiving the next highest vote
so Laub heads the citizens ticket for
mayor and Rollins the peoples ticket.
No opposition developed for the Of
flee of treasurer and c. L.>Voss was
nominated, by reclamation, as was II.
A. Norman for the Office of assessor.
Numerous candidates were brought
out for councilmen at large. among
whom were Henry Kolls, w. w. Cush-
man. l.. w. Powers. Ben Pautsch, Jer-
ry O'Connor, H. T. Bliesman and Ira
Gillmor. Several of the candidates
withdrew their names before the for
NAL ballot was taken with the result
that j. H. Tamm and w. w. Cushman
received the highest number of votes
and thus will appear on the citizens
ticket and Ira Gillm0r and H. c. Kolls,
receiving the next highest, appearing
On the peoples ticket.
Following the nomination of candi-
dates for councilmen at large the
ward caucuses were held The first
ward nominated James Armstrong for
on the citizens ticket and
Oscar Lehman on the peoples ticket.
In the second ward J. T. Flahive was
on the citizens ticket and
H. l.. Fitch on the peoples ticket The
third ward nominated Ben Pautsch
on the citizens ticket with DR.. r. o.
on the peoples ticket
With two tickets in the field the city
election will undoubtedly be a lively
one with the interest centering on the
two candidates for mayor. Both Laub
and Rollins will carry on an active
and we predict that a heavy
vote will be cast. Both tickets are
strong and no matter which set OF city
officers are elected Denison is assured
a good business administration.

ADMINISTRATION SAYS 90 IT
Not a Mere Suggestion, But a Reality
the Fuel Administrator Urges You
to Prepare for Winter Now

The state fuel administration is TAX
ing great Interest in conserving the
fuel supply next winter. With this
thought in mind an effort is made to
secure the cooperation OF the farmers
of the state in cutting wood for fuel
for the coming winter. The purpose
is to have as many people in the state
burn wood for fuel next winter as is
possible.
The week beginning March 18th and
ending March 23d Is to be devoted to
cutting wood for fuel for next winter.
Tho wood should be cut with the view
of tho person who owns the wood to
cut it and use it for fuel and also to
insure a supply for other people who
to purchase it.
Every effort should be made to fur
nish as large supply as possible and
to induce other people to purchase
wood for use for the coming winter.
This is not a mere suggestion to be
needed or not according to the pleas
ure of those having wood fuel, but it is
urged upon everyone who can render
a service to their country by conserv-
ing the fuel of the state to cut as much
wood as is possible in order to relieve
the coal situation this coming winter.
Let every farmer or other person
who may have wood that can be cut
and used for fuel remember that from
the 18th to the 23d of March is the
drive for cutting wood and the patriot
ism of a man can be shown in this
way as much as by putting up his
money or making any other sacrifice.
