CITY employees
NOT TO unite
IN NOV. 5 POLL
Mayor Firm in DenunCiation
of Politicians Seeking
Public Offices.
BY EDWIN V. O'NEEL

City nall employees VIII not unite
in support Of a ticket in the Nov. 5
election of seven city commissioners,
Mayor L. Ert Slack said today on
returning to the city after spending
few days at French Lick.
The mayor will take weeks rest
at his summer cottage in Johnson
county, driving to his office here &C
casionally to handle emergency
matters.
But, if I don't like the setup
I'll fight it," he said. Il don't want
to see any politicians or tools Of
politicians get in offices at city hall
We have been on the make here at
city hall and are still on the make
at the court house" Slack declared
There are some Influences that
just can't keep away from positions
which carry appointive power or
authority to let contracts" Slack
said
Not Manager Candidate
Indications are that several ad-
ministrative leaders feel that indie
pendent candidates will draft"
Slack for the post of city manager
in event of their election in Novem-
Der The mayor has said repeatedly
D he is not a candidate for city man
ager.
Already "the woods are full" Of in
dependent candidates who desire to
land berth on the new city man
ager commission which takes Office
in January. Many are awaiting the
state supreme court decision on
constitutionality of the law and an
nouncment Of the City Manager
League ticket before announcing
their candidacy.
Petitions bearing $50 signatures,
/ per cent of the $4,000 votes cast
, in 1925, must be filed on or before
Oct with City Clerk William A.
Boyce Jr. The city election COM
mission, William H. Remy, Regi-
maid Sullivan and Boyce, requested
candidates not to file petitions until
after the decision on the laws con-
stitutionality.
Politicians Want Delay
IN event the supreme courts de-
cision is handed down near Oct. 5,
election commissioners will be
rushed in checking over the petit
tons to determine validity of the
signatures. The city clerks Office
has five days to check petitions, &C
cording to statute.
A delayed decision would be ad-
vantageous to the political organiza-
tons, machine politicians always be-
ing well organized to put over their
tickets.
In event the law is held Ilncon-
stitutional the city manager law
saving clause" provides that an
election be held within sixty days.
The city committee would pick the
ticket if the supreme court should
hold the saving clause section to be
unconstitutional.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 6.-The
level of prices of agricultural goods
moved up somewhat last week with sub
Stantial increases in potatoes, beef
steers, wheat, oats, corn and eggs. The
more important declines in farm prod
uctS were lambs, wool and cotton.
The latter two commodities are not
at this season moving from producers
toward market, SO the price weakness
does not directly affect the farmer. 1t
is also true that the grains are now
generally out of farmers hands.
Despite general weakness of COM
modify quotations, the position Of the
farmer is now better than for three
months past. The improvement is OBJ
viously far too slight to weaken the
demands for farm relief
