House Tonight.
( 'and:«1 a11 s f.-r the office of city at-j
torncy which oific«• will be filled I<>
the city I'lfi tious to be held Tuesday
have railed a meeting to be held at
the court house this evening for the1
purpose of putting their views on
public matters before the public that
the people may know just what each
man considers his duties if elected -o
the oflice the three seek and that
each man may give the voters an
outline el hi . past present and fu-
ture.
li is probable that some of the
oilier candidates may be present and
wneii the stars of the evening have
finished their speeches and made
their b. w to the public may tell why
they sheu!'! he clewed to other ofh-
they seek. "
Campaign in;; as it always is on
the day before i- waxing hot to-
day. The various candidates arc stir-
ring around among their friends and
| those they think are their friends
'and the last o! the cards which
brought joy to the print shops are
being distributed.
Carroll Todd is announced for the
o('ice o! city collector and assessor
of taxes. Mr. Todd is running for
re-election and there are no other
avowed candidaf.es The Light pre-
dicts his t lection. Lynn La;sweil i
al.-.o proving a. popular camL-hve
the oftic" of city 11 e.; o;.-er. LI Mr.
Todd he has- no opponent. For al-
derman in Ward i\ o. it i> more than
probable ilia T. O. Cheatham i• i be
e!e;tcd. Like Mr. Cheatham It. i>
M< Coin' s i; suri of election as al
• I'-rman from tin third ward. Right
here ami now the prediction stops.
Ot her - n a be elect ed. I a fact. there
may he "dark horse>" in these races
but as noii" have announced for the j
places set forth above it is a safe j
prediction that those men will be
< led.
One of the pretties? races in the'
en mpaigu that litis been made late-
ly is the three cornered race for the
office of city attorney. Neil C. Kr-
\\ in \V. i 1. Ft-ars and F. S. Samples
are trying; for the place. All candi-
dates ha\e made ^ thorough canva«.
and all are apparently sure they are
the "choice of the people" although
it may turn out to be Wednesday
morning like the justice of the peace
in Houston who was defeated:
When seen shortly alter the elec-
tion. he still held his oliice bavins
i.oni" up for re-eleetion; by a report-
er who requested the happenings of
The day he said: "You may tell the
people d - 'em the very same
people who wouldn't vote for me
that 1 am no longer in polities."
For <; ity marshal there are three
good iro n. They are Hi!! Sparks. J. |
F. (.Jim) Jones and Jim Maggart.
Ail of i 1i.»- -«■ men have a large follow-
ing of friends and it is thought the
margin by which either of them will j
win will be a close one. All are
known to be conscientious men and
it is known that which ever one wins.
o!'i• e will be well taken care of.
Of course each candidate frankly be-
llows he is the best man for the
place.
No less interesting than the race
or the ottiee of »ity attorney and
marshal has the race for city secre-
tary been. This too. is a three cor-
nered race. Earle L. Gibson J. W.
Caldwell and John J. Thomson are
the avowed candidates for the posi-
tion and all have been campaigning l
"pertly" of late.
Two candid* es have announced
for the aldermanic honors of the first
\.ard. ii'hey are Will Moore and H.
K. Wood. Mr. Moore seeks to be re-
elected to his office."
