MANY IN MAYORALTY RACE
w. G. Tandy, Former Commissioner,
Endorsed by Citizens Committee.


w. G. Tandy, who is understood to
have been chosen by the citizens COM

Topeka, today refused to discuss the
possibility of his candidacy.
Il am not ready to make any deci-

With many years experience in city
government, as a member of the old
city council and as former commits
sioner of streets, Tandy is well quail

members of the citizens committee.
He was defeated for the office of
mayor by Herbert j. Corwine, the
present incumbent, by the narrow
derstood that stronger sentiment of
the public is behind the candidacy of
Tandy than that of any other man
previously suggested for the office
w. l. Porter, former commissioner
of parks and public buildings, would
have many supporters should he de-
eide to become a candidate for the
office.
Chas@L. Mitchell, urged by many
citizens to enter the race, is considered
to have an excellent chance of bel
coming mayor if he consents to make
the race.
DR.. A. B. Jeffrey is the most recently
mentioned suggestion for the mayor
atty race. 1t is the opinion of many
that a younger man than is usually
chosen for the office should be put
into the campaign this year, and Doc

comment on the matter.
