Was sufllclent and notified his friends and
supporters that under no circumstances
Would ho Hnek or uccept a renomlnntion.
While, thern was little doubt but Mayor
Morgan would have boen accorded a re
noinlnatlon at the hands of the republican
city convention, ho would not have secured
it without nomo opposition, ns there were
. and still are nuveral aspirants for the
ollifco. Two years ago Alderman K. H.
Lougae could have hail the nomination had
ho been In the city at the. tlmt of the, re
publican convention, but he happened to
bo away-. Ills friends are now urging his
nomination and street talk Is to the effect
that If he Is willing to accept the nomina
tion. It hi his for tho mere asking.
Alderman McDonald of tho Fourth ward,
representative cf the. silk stocking con
stituency. Is also favorably mentioned as
a candidate. Mr. McDonald, however, while
his friends. are. constantly Insisting that
bo enter the race-, has as yet not declared
whether he will be a candidate or not'
j, J. I. Ilras, president of the' Hoard of
'UdueaUon, Is being also talked of as ro
Sdlcan candidate for this office and morn
fr less mention has been made of Colonel
W. F. Baker, at present member of the
County lioarfl of Supervisors., The general
opinion, however, is that If Alderman Lou-fe-eo
desires the nomination he can secure
It with but little opposition, , now thnt
Mayor Morgan is no longer a candidate
for rnominutlon.

i The Hloux (Hty Commercial club has
taken the initiative in it move to have ths
law regarding the election of members of
boarda of county supervisors amended at
the coming session of the legislature. The
Buggestton, is to have the counties dlvhled
Into supervisors' districts, according to the
population. As It Is now, the members of
the board are elected practically ut large,
although aa j ruin the different sections
of the county are represented' on the board.
The object of the proposed 'change is to
Itive cities of the Hist class a fairer repre
sentation jun the board than they now en
Joy as a rule. In this county Council
Bluffs has generally been permitted to
name one member of the board, and this
amusement has, as f ir as Is known, al
ways proven satisfactory. The question
however is being ngltatoil by the Sioux c'lty
Commercial dub, and the Commercial club
of this city Is In receipt of a communica
tion from It LitkUig the latter's co-operation,
and the matu-r will probably be
brought up at the next general meeting of

Des Moines ministers generally made a
