Show The Mayoralty, I It Is quite a vvlille until convention H time, but the political bees area buz.- M In' aheady. The electiic light mat- H tervvlll havenollttleeirectonthecon- 'H vent Ions and election this year, and Mil ions details will maue this contest vctv inteiesllng. H Whether Mayor Hansen will be a H candidate tor le-elecllon Is a matter ol conjectiite. As a safo business man who is well acquainted with all the details of the electric light situation, H and as the one who has engineered the affair thiough on cettain lines thus jH far, It might seem that he is logically the man foi the Republicans to noni- H inatc and the people to elect.bur some H raise the objection that he has too H many lions in the lite already. These H things ate all a matter of talk as yet j H and when simmered down, will prob- I ably count for but little. I M In case the mayor doesn't want the place and It can't be forced upon him, 'H E. J. Robinson, president of the pres- ,, entcouiicll.issttggestcd. Mr. Robinson ' has moved himself a gentleman of ;H sound business Judgment, a ptesld- .H ing officer or no mean ability, and a H piogresslve citizen. He also Is rami- IV llai with every detail ot tho light ! ptoposltlon, and If lite crown is to dtop from mayor Hansen's blow It lS could hatdly dtop In a safor place H than on Mr. Robinson's hat-rack. H The same objection raised to Mr. IH Hansen at the last election could be ' jH talsed against Mr. Robinson, however. He Is compatatlvely new, and It is wM lelt that should he be no longer re- (M qtilted at the A. C. ol II. his Intetest f M in Logan would tease. i U John Ciaw fold or the IT. O. Is men- M Honed In connection with the mayor- Inl allty.aud his friends say that John rH would like to have the piivllege of rH vetoing oidlnances. Mr. Ciawford is 'H a successful business man, earnest !& and ptogiessive and would undoubted- J M ly llll the mayors chair with credit to tVm himself and satisfaction to the city. LI GeotgeCole, of the CO. M. & R. H Co., would not object to making the II race and theie are many who would 'W like to vote for him. fH Fioin now on, various names will be H suggested and talked down in "star H chamber meetings." It is a dead sure H thing that tho pilmaties will be more m intctestlng this year than formerly IM and that the struggle in councilnianlc tH elides will be fierce. fjH Among the Democrats, mentioned :jfl for mayor, are Hon. Moses Thatcher, H C. I). W. Fullmer, G. W. Thatcher, ,' H. G. Hay ball, L. R. Maitineau, and Joseph Motrell and while all ate good H men who would grace the city's high- H est otllce they could hardly hope for H election. M |
