l, 1881, Will 1lUt Nc q NoAA~AN<N"~
for reelection.
Mr.. Cheshire, who is one OF the
ablest chief executives Nogales ev-
er had, informed a group OF busl-
ness men meeting at the home OF
Writ G. Bowman Thursday night
that he would not be a candidate
again.
Strenuous efforts to have him
change his. mind and, serve anoth-
er two years as mayor got nowhere.
1T positively will not run again,
he said, and added that II owe it
as a duty to my family and bust
ness not to serve a second term.
Shortly after 1t became known
definitely that the Mayor would
not be a candidate for reelection
a boom for Major George Macdon-
aid for mayor was launched and
Macdonald, contacted by phone IN
Phoenix, where he is serving as q
representative in the state legisla-
ture, said he would think it over
and try to let Writ G. Bowman
know by yesterday whether he
would make the race.
Should Macdonald enter the con-
test he will be asked to name his
running mates as aldermen and 1t
is believed that Aldermen M. L.
Merritt, Ben Jones, E. L. Juillerat,
and Charles r. FRAZIER would seek
reelection if Macdonald is can
didate. Alderman Thomas L. Hall
announced at the meeting that ne
would not seek reelection regard
less of who is a candidate for
mayor"
Hudgin Candidate
The other member of the Chesh-
ire board of aldermen-Louis Hud-
gin-informed the meeting that he
is a candidate for mayor. Another
candidate for the chief executives
post is v. r. Lamia, Vegetable
broker, and father-in-law of Harold
Roesner, who resigned this week as
a member of the state senate.
Attending the meeting at the
Bowman home, called for the pur-
pose of trying to get Mayor Chesh-
ire and the present aldermen to
seek reelection we're r. H. Fleisch-

Wilde Chairman
c. B. Wilde presided as chairman
and it was the concensus Of numer-
Gus speakers that Mayor Cheshire
and his board of aldermen should
eek reelection. They were told
they have done a marvellous job
md should give Nogales 1.-TWO more
years Of this good administration. >
Aldermen Merritt, Jones, Juillerat
and Frazier said they would run
again if Mayor Cheshire should
seek reelection but would not seek
second term on a ticket headed
by Louis Hudgin.
"ChOoseS To Run"
Mr.. Hudgin, addressing the meet
ing, said:
when I announced for mayor I
was under the impression that Mr..
Cheshire wouldn't run again. I be-
lieve the present mayor has done
very we'll. If Cheshire runs against
me and beats me there will be no
animosity, land added in a. la Cool
idge STYLE" choose to rum"
Mr.. Hudgin, therefore, is can
didate and would have been one
even if Mayor Cheshire had sought
reelection.
Shortly after he had made it
known in no uncertain terms that
he is in the race to stay, Mr.. Hud-
gin left the meeting and then the
steps were taken that launched
Major Macdonald's boom.
Should Mr.. Macdonald make the
race he will not have to resign his
seat as a representative in the leg
islature until taking office as may
or on June /, should he be victori-
