This city ticket was placed In nomination
by the democratic city convention. A, fea
ture or the convention was the difficulty
experienced In obtaining candidates willing
to accept the nomination for several of the
offices, those mentioned declining 'one after
the other to be offered up as lambs for the
slaughter.. '.
Platform of Pnbllo Utilities.
These resolution were adopted by the
convention.
We, as representatives of the democratic
party, in convention assemoieo, nereoy an

Contract for necessities for temporary
or permanent improvements should be
awarded after due publicity to the lowest
reHponslble bidder, but when such bids are
not equitaDie ana me city s interests wen
conserved such contracts should not be
awarded at all.
The convention was called to order by
Alderman Boyer, chairman of domocratlc
city central committee who named Emmet
Tlnley as temporary chairman. J. J.
Hughes was selected aa secretary.
Mr. Tlnley on assuming the gavel made
a short address in which ne said that a
municipal corporation ' was simply a large
business corporation; the aldermen repre
sented the directors and the citizens were
tbe stockholders. This being the case. It
was necessary to put at the head a business
man. These committees were then .ap
pointed:
On credentials W. H. Schura, Henry At
kins, Ed Stlmson. ;
On permanent organization Ed Etoekert,
John Churchill. T. U Smith.
On resolutions H. O. Owen, John L Luti,

maries last night.
Owing to the contests in the several
wards, the vote was unusually large and
the keenest Interest waa displayed In the
result. Aldermen Lougee, Lovett. McDon
ald and Brown secured renomlnatlons, but
Alderman Clark of the Fifth ward went
down In defeat before J. C. Fleming after
three ballots. Only one ballot waa neces
sary to nominate In all of tbe other five
wards.
In the First ward the first ballot gave J.
R. Bell eighty-eight votes, with one each
for Henry RIshton and George Hamilton.
Mr. Bell to an old-time resident of the city
and In business on Broadway.
In the Second ward 221 votes were cast,
being thirty-five more than two years ago.
The caucus waa held In Mlnnlck'a barn,
which waa entirely inadequate to accom
modate the crowd. The first ballot re
nominated Alderman Lougee by 228 votes,
as against ninety-five for A. D. Johnson.
There were three candidates In the Third
ward. Alderman E. C. Brown, J. Harley
Mayne and M. J. Kelley, the nominee of
the Municipal Nonpartisan league. On the
first ballot Brown secured a renomlnatton
by ninety-five votes to fifty-two for Mayne
and thirty-five for Kelley.
In the Fourth ward the report that Slack
Peterson had decided to leave Alderman
McDonald a clear field proved to be with
out foundation, as he went Into the pri
mary and secured sixty-eight votes, but
the renomlnatlon went to McDonald with
185 votes.
Tbe Fifth ward waa the scene, as had
been expected, of, a battle royal, and Al
derman Clark went down In defeat be
fore J. C. Fleming, an employe of the Pull
man Car company. It took three ballots
to decide the nomination. Tbe ballots were
aa follow:
First Fleming. 88; Clark, 75; Hana Han
sen, 35;. Chris Loseth, 19.
Second Fleming, 90;- Clark. 62; Hansen,
21; Loseth, 10.
Third Fleming, 114; Clark, B9. Han

Hla attorney in the opening statement to
the jury admitted the poker game, which,
he asserted, was only a small one, but de
nied the sale of liquor by the defendant.
The trial of thks case will clean up tbe
criminal business In this division.
At tbe close of this case the trial of the
personal Injury damage suit of B. F. Kirk
against the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
waa made to adopt tbe minority report of
the democrats In favor of permitting Em
mert to retain his seat. This was lost and
the majority report was adopted by a
strict party vote of 84 to 9.
