Th' democratic party In CouncU Bluffs
will hav to seek a sow candidate to bead
Ita, ticket at the city election on March
M. It had been generally understood that
Mayor Macrae would accept a renomi na
tion provided It came to him without oppo
sition. Mayor Macrae has, however. In the
last v week chanced hi mind and has ma
dared with all 4ae emphasis in his power
that ha will not a candidate tor re
nominatrori and what ii more will not ac
cept a renomi nation at the bands of his
party, even tf it Is tendered him upon a
golden . platter and with the unanimous
consent of every, member of the party in
Council Bluff. Hie refusal to accept a re
nomination. Mayor Macrae says, is Irre
vocable and that absolutely nothing can
Induce him to change his mind.
Mavor Macrae' decision, to refuse to
accept a renomtnatlon for the office of
thief executive of the city ts said to have
leen brought about by the criticism which
he and the members of the city council
have been subject to ia their efforts to
bring about what they considered was an
equitable adjustment of the water rates.

"What I the mayor of Council Bluffs,
anyhow? He Is merely a figurehead with
thd title" of fiiayor attached to his name
About all a mayor ha the power to do la
to select the chief of police and the mem
bers of the police department, and even
these appointments, have to be confirmed
by the Mty council. There la nothing in
It except abuse and censure. The salary
of the office, which of course Is a minor
consideration, does not pay man's ex
venues whit he fills the office of mayor. 1
have had I wo years of it. and now let
someone else have the worry. I endeavored
to do the best I knew how for the Inter
est of the city and It' people and I think
the- latter will admit that at least I have
given them a cleaner city than they had
for many yefcra before. I am out of the
mayor business and, as far a that goes.
out of politic also. I Bhall, however, leave
the office with til feelings towards no one
and with the best of good wishes for the
future-to all." . .
Discs ta the Tart.
Not for many years has discord been so
rampant In the democratic party of Coun
cil Bluffs a It is today and Mayor Macrae's
announcement that he will not under any
circumstances accept a renomination will
not tend to Improve matters. Surface lndl
cations, if they ' count for anything, are
that not a single democratic member of the
present city eouncu win ue irnunuiui
this spring, except It may possibly be
Alderman McMillen of the Fifth ward.
In the First ward Alderman Younker-
man'a friends are Insisting that he Is en
titled to a renomination, but former Alder
man Charles Huber I being prominently
mentioned now for the democratic nomina
tion and thia will mean a bard fight for
Taunkerman and his friends. In the Second
ward Alderman Maloney was thought to be
safe until a few days ago. but It is said
that a certain element In his party ha the
knife out for him. In the Third ward Al
derman Tinley has announced that he will
not seek a renomination. It was, however,
a foregone conclusion that he would not be
accorded one, owing to the doubts of the
legality -of his quasi residence In that werd.
in the F6urth ward Aldmnan Weaver Is
elated for retirement, but In the Fifth ward
Alderman McMillen appears so far to have
a good show for a renomination. In the
Sixth ward the west ender have announced
that Alderman Crippen Is to be placed on
the shelf and It la hardly likely that he will

There was an informal meeting of the

chase of a site for the club grounds. It
Was decided to purchase the Peter Frenxer

south of the Sarpy county line on the Thir

the deal has been closed and the first pay- j

likely these buildings will be used for the
accommodation of the club members until
better ones can be erected. The grounds
are Ideal and lie Just north of the well
known Child's property. There Is enough
native timber already on the ground for
the finest parking. The land lies In n ob
long form and It is believed a golf course
can be laid out without any crossing. In
that way there will be no confusion of tho
placers at any time. The property lies on
the proposed car line to Fort Crook, so
that It is within easy rench of all the mem
