Several Cities.
GRAND ISLAND, March 11 (Special.)
The caucus In the Third ward last even
ing completed the list. In all of them
Mayor Henry Sehuff was heartily endorsed
for a second term and will very likely not
have any opposition. Even were he to have
hla election la even now generally con
ceded. In their respective wards Council
men Mllliken of the First. Buchheit of the
Third and Broadwell of the Fourth were
renominated. In the Second ward caucus
Herman Hehnke, Jr., was chosen. Candi
dates for council by petition are Louis T.
Oeer and Elmer Kllnger In the First ward.
Senator Ashton has no opposition for fill
ing the unexpired term on the Board of
Education. Three others are to be elected,
the candidates recommended by various
wards, being Charles E. Frallck, Dr. Mo
Grath, L. S. Moore and Louis Velt For
city clerk" there is only one candidate, H.
EX Clifford, the present Incumbent. For
other city officers there are the following:
Police Judge, O. A. Abbott, sr., F. E.
Hanna, Bayard Payne and A. Sharp; for
treasurer, Fred Hansford, George F. Ryan;
for water commissioner, R. O. Watters.
The caucuses were open to all voters and
non-partisan in nature, and where there
are contests at all. the situation Is quite
complicated. There has been an undercur
rent of fight by saloon men against Mayor
Schuft and several councllmen, but it has
not been an organised one, and has. on the
whole, been unsuccessful. It Is believed
by soma that If It should be carried to the
election, and both sldss should become
warmed up. the lid would go on tighter In
Grand Island than ever before. The op
position referred to was engendered by an
order closing up saloons . at midnight
promptly, and removing all slot machines
In the city and other gaming devices, even
the dice box.
