MUNICIPAL POLITICAL
POT IS BOILING.
Ladies Ask Representation on Council
and School Board.
The local political pot has begun to
boil and for the first time in several
years interest seems to be aroused in
the election of a mayor, members
of the city council and members of
the school board. The women of the
city, who for the first time, this year,
have a voice in the election of city
officials, have decided to ask for rep
resentation on the city council by the
nomination of one woman for each
ward. They also desire that the
standards of the public schools be ele
vated and that the teachers be paid at
least living wages,and have selected
two of their number to represent them
on the board of educaton. A women’s
city civics club is to be organized, at a
meeting at the city library next Tues
day afternoon, at which Mrs. J. P.
Gallagher will act as chairman and the
new organization will work for the im
provement of the city and the better
ment of school conditions. Members
of the club will make an extended
study of municipal problems.
But little interest was being taken
in the approaching city election before
Saturday afternoon and petitions only
were in circulation for two mayorality
condidates: Samuel L. Berry and Frank
O'Connell, jr. Mr. O’Connell on learn
ing of the petitions in his behalf had
requested their withdrawal. Satur
day afternoon a mass meeting of the
ladies at the K. C. hall discussed the
advisability of seeking places for wo
men on the council and school board
tickets and decided favorably. The
meeting was presided over by Mrs. L.
A. Carter as chairman and Mrs. M. E.
Vernon as secretary. A committee
composed of Mrs. Harry Bowen and
Mrs. R. L. Arbuthnot of the First
ward- Mrs. Charles McFenna and
Mrs. M. Fitzsimmons of the Second
ward and Mrs. G. A. Miles and
Mrs. A. J. Hammond of the Third
ward, was appointed to ascertain the
sentiment and to suggest candidates
at an adjourned meeting held ^t the
Royal theater Wednesday afternoon.
The Saturday meeting also tentatively
nominated Mrs. W. T. Evans of
the First ward, Mrs Dave Stan
nard of the Second ward and
Mrs. A. J. Hammond of the Third
ward for the city council. At
the Wednesday afternoon meeting
Mrs. A. J. Hammond expressed her in
ability to serve and Mrs. C. H. Cooper
was selected for council from the
Third ward. The convention also
named Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Stannard
and nominated Mrs. Ethel Hubbard
and Mrs. Evelyn Arbuthnot to places
on the school board. No action was
taken endorsing a candidate for mayor
and this may be considered at the
orgnization of the civics club Tuesday
afternoon. The convention named
Mrs. J. P. Gallagher to preside as
chairman at the Tuesday meeting.
Immediately following the meeting
of the women Wednesday afternoon
friends began the circulation of peti
tions for Mr. C. M. Daly as a candi
date for mayor and they, as were the
petitions of Mr. Berry, are being liber
ally signed. Petitions also are being
circulated for the candidates selected
by the women and also are being circu
lated in the First ward for T. F.
Birmingham and Harry Claussen for
First ward councilman and for Mike
Johnson to succeed himself in the
Third ward. There are two council
vacancies in the Second ward to be
filled at the city election April 6.
Petitions have been completed for the
renomination of Mr. Claud Hancock,
present city treasurer. To date he has
no opposition.
The officials to be elected at the city
.election are a mayor, city clerk, city
treasurer, two members of the school
board, one member of the council in
each the First and Third wards and
two in the Second ward.
