A few votes from citizens expecting
to be out-of-town tomorrow night are
being left with J. C. Colt for the citi-
zens' meeting tomorrow night to put
out four candidates for City Cornmts-
slsoner for the April election and the
prospect was Monday that a good at-
tendance will be out. as considerable
interest has been created tn the plan
of drafting men for. the places.
While the details will lie decided os
by the meeting itself, it was said that
a motion would be put forward to drop
tiie hindmost candidates on successive
ballots until the four leaders showed a
clear majority of those-voting either in
person or by mall. This plan, It was
declared, would not only <-xpe41te se-
lection. hut would Iffvtlre against any
coherent minority dominating the ef-
fort altho nothing has come to the
Isurface to Indicate that any such ac-

A nurnbet of the citizens nominated
at the meeting Thursday night have
asked that their names be withdrawn,
but It is not impossible that Home of
| those names will bo renominated at
[the meeting Thursday night as well as
others whose names were not Included
