                                                                  SOMETHING CONCERNING THE OTHER
                                                            REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR CITY OFFICES

                                                      A Hot Fight is on for Clerk and There Will be Quite a   
                                                    Contest For the Office of Assessor and a Little One for     
                                                                                               Justice.

Judge H. Wirt Newkirk will probably be the next republican nominee for the office of mayor in this city.
He is being urged to take the office by the leaders of the party who point out the fact that the county officers have often been called upon to make the run for city offices and that they have always made big runs.
Unless some change comes in the feelings of the republican leaders as to their best hope of success, Judge Newkirk will be nominated.
A section of the municipal club leaders are grooming Aid. F. M. Hamilton of the First ward as a candidate for mayor but when they run against the Newkirk sentiment for mayor, may switch him off for president of the council. Otherwise they may bring out Prof. Levi D. Wines for that position.

Quite a contest is on for city clerk. Gleen V. Mills is hustling for a re-election and everybody knows he is something of a hustler.
Edward V. Seyler has a number of friends who are trotting him down what they think the homestretch.
W. A. Clark is the Grand Army candidate for this position and there are others.

Wesley Howe has quite a backing for assessor and A. J. Kitson, the supervisor of the Sixth is also out for this position.
But John R Miner has hosts of friends all over the city who if he says the word will land him under the wire

The candidates for justice are less active. J. Q. A. Sessions, Andrew E. Gibson and Andrew Sawyer are candidates while Attorney H. H. Herbst is also spoken of in numerous quarters.
