Show II SOME POLITICAL POT PIE. I , Judging from reports tho campaign will be a three-cornered fight this fall, l! with a Devll-takq-the-hlndmost motto E on tho banners of each. After talking ! with leaders of each of the three par- 5 , ties -which will put tickets in tho field f for tho coming election, Truth feels justified In saying there will bo no fu- t sion of any kind, If present Indications ! are anything by which to judge. It i is true that overtures have been made 1 1 , looking toward fusion, but all seem to ! ' have been rejected and tho battle is f, I clearly on. ( 1 The Republican View. President John L. May, of tho Young 1 1 Men's Republican Club, which Is a ' I vital factor in tho politics .of that J party informs Truth that tho party 1 1 will placo a-complete ticket In tho J j field and will go Into the fight pro- i pared to niako tho battle of its cxist- l j ( onco. Councilmen will bo nominated ' in overy precinct and a full sot of of- i fleers selected for tho fray. There l will bo no backing down, no fusion, in I; so far as he knows,, and tho fight will I; bo mado on straight Republican lines j with no entangling alliances. Mr. I May says tho Republicans ought to i win, becauso it is tho party In power 't and carried tho city and county last It fall by a rousing and substantial ma- jorlty. l From the Democrats. I, Colonel Ben D. Luco, tho most active I, man In tho Democratic ranks, is very I: sanguine of success this fall and do- lj clarcs that Morris will bo renominated I and elected. Of course, Colonel Luco I gets enthusiastic when ho speaks of I politics, but ho stoutly affirms that I Democracy will re-assert itself this I 'November and that tho entlro ticket I will go through to victory. Llko Col- I onol May, Colonol Luco declares ho knows nothing of fusion with any one and asserts with much positiveness that his party will never fuso with anyone, becauso it does not havo to. Outsldo of Morris for mayor, Colonel Luce has no candidates and Is playing Hi no favorites. Although nothing has Hl been done recently, Colonel Luce thinks th or o -will bo a meeting of tho ' city commlttco very soon nnd tlint tho Young Men's Democratic Club will H- soon hiro a man to put down Its car- i About the "Americans." "you enn Bay," said Ohnlrninn par- ijH jlfiK nier, of the y'Amerlcans," as ho sat In his offlro chair comfortably looking over snie papers, "that the 'American' 'Ameri-can' parly will put a complete ticket In tho field. That It will nominate a candidate for ovcTycfflco to bo voted for at the coining election. That it will fuso with no ono, but will win or lose on Its merits. That all reports of' offers to fuso arc Incorrect, except In so far as they havo been mado by unauthorized persons. This party is now greater than any Individual and wo expect to mako tho fight of our lives. No ono man, or set of men control con-trol It; It is governed by tho desires of its members. Organization has actively begun and In two weeks wo will havo a district committee In every district in the city and a precinct organization or-ganization In overy precinct." Further Fur-ther than that Mr. Darmer deposed not. Some Candidates. There Is some rivalry in tho "American" "Ameri-can" party as to "who shall run for mayor, H. G. McMillan or Ezra Thompson. Both havo friends who want to seo them nominated and at the convention, which, by tho way, will bo a delegate and not a mass convention, con-vention, considerable scrapping may bo looked for. The friends of James Chipman are conducting a quiet campaign in his interest in-terest for tho nomination for mayor on the Republican ticket. Several members of tho Young Men's Republican club are at work In the cause of William J. Lynch for mayor on tho Republican ticket. Of course on tho Democratic side of the house thoro is no.thing to it but Morris. It is rumored that tho recent showers will bo attributed to him in his "solution of the water question." Several friends of Attorney Hamer, who ran for city justice of tho peace last fall on tho Democratic ticket, the tfrglng him to go out after tho nomination nomina-tion for city recorder. If Hamer should sccuro tho nomination and election lie is just the sort of Democrat Demo-crat who would remember his friends and not throw them over as has the present incumbent. n |
