REPUBLICAN WARD CAUCUSES

The Candidates for Ward Offices

R. KEMPF FOR MAYOR

That is the Republican Slate for Monday — Col. Dean Vouches for His Acceptance

---

The republicans held their ward caucuses Friday evening and all indications point to the nomination of Reuben Kempf for mayor. Mayor Copeland at the last was willing to take the nomination only if it came to him unanimously, but last night's caucuses put his unanimous nomination out of the question and he will not accept. 

FIRST WARD. 

A lively contest for alderman was on in this ward. John R. Miner was [endorsed] for supervisor. Clement W. Gill was nominated for alderman, although Otto Hans gave him a close race. The ballot resulted: 

C. W. Gill ..... 20 

Otto Hans ..... 27 

Wllliam Eldert was nominated for constable. 

Ward Committee — Frank E. Jones, Wm. E. Eldert, John R. Miner. 

The delegates to the city convention were instructed to vote for Reuben Kempf for the nomination of mayor, after Col. H. S. Dean had vouched for it that Mr. Kempf would run. The caucus also voted that its preference for city clerk was George L. Moore.

The following ward ticket was named: 

Supervisor — Eugene K. Frueauff. 

Alderman — William Shadford. 

Constable — Fred Huhn.
