Interest in the primary election for
the naming Of city officials increased
this morning as the result of four de-
velopments regarding the naming of
candidates for councilman-at-large,
two Of whom are to be chosen at the
next election. These four develop
ments are;
1-Councilman o. ]. Scholer, whose
term will expire and who has served
since the Inauguration of the city
manager form of government in Keno
sha, announced definitely that he
would not be a candidate for re-eleS
ton.
2-Councilman Robert Nicoll, whose
term also expires is being placed in
the race, nomination papers for him
being taken out this morning.
3-Nominataon papers have been
taken out to place Joseph w. Tully,
former alderman from the First ward,
under the aldermanic form of govern
ment, in the field as a candidate for,
the Office of councilman at-large.
4-One set of nomination papers
for councilman-at-large has been
taken out for a clark horse" nom
inee, the person taking the papers not
naming his intended candidate.
SchOler Gives Reason.
Councilman Schcler in announcing
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection, recalled that he had serv-
ed on the council for three years and
that. he felt that he could not longer
devote to the office the time which it
took. He stated also that he felt that
the way should be left open for 9TH
ers to take part in the direction OF
city affairs and that for both of these
reasons he had determined definitely
not to be a candidate for reelection.
Councilman Scholer has served most
efficiently on the council during tho
past three years, helping in the es-
Establishment of the city manager form
Of government. City officials express
ed regret that he would not continue
to be candidate.
Mr.. NicOlI Out of City.
Councilman Nicoll was not in tho
city today and no definite statement
regarding his candidacy could be Sc
cured from him. 1t was understood,
however, that he would not refuse to
be a candidate for. reelection. He
also has served on the commission
most eficiencly since its organization
and city officials and others interest
ed in the welfare Of the city are Org
ing him to continue on the council.
Mr.. Tully's papers were taken out
by his friends who are urging him to
enter the race. He served for several
terms on the old city council and
showed real interest and ability in
directing affairs Of the city.
The only other nomination papers
taken out were for A. B. Mccall for
school commissioner from the First
ward and Peter Tacki for school COM
missioner from the Fourth ward.
Monday is the last day for fling
nomination papers and all who have
papers in circulation are urged to be
sure that these are in the hands OF
the proper officials not later than
