IN THE- MUNICIPAL CONTEST, The Candidates All Lined Up and Ready for the Fray. THE PEOPLES' PARTY CHOOSES ITS MEN, Conn; Out, by IVtiU.ni— The Tnwnslilp The peoples' party held its primary election Friday of last week to select candidates for the various city offices to be voted for on the 18th of this The contest for some of the nominations was spirited, but all have, apparently accepted the result as the 1 proper thing.

Theticket nominated is as follows: J. Monroe Dillinger. Frank M. Caldwell. Harry R.

Searing. Jonathan F. Taylor, Second ward, Marvin R. Fakes; Third ward, Henry E. Lightfoot.

While therd has been some little show of faction in the contest for nominations the animus which displayed itself fora time among few of the leading 1 spirits in the opposition failed to attract 'sufficient following -to form what might be termed a definitely organized party with the result that the peoples party is the. only party putting forth a complete ticketj.and oven it failed to make a nomination for alderman for the first ward. Which omission however was filled by the candidacy of Mr. George G. Barbour who came out later by petition.

The contest, therefore, so far as party lines are concerned, will be entirely one-sided, and the outcome, if adverse to any of the peoples party nominees, will be the result of the personal strength of independent candidates. The following is a tabulated result of the peoples party primary Mr. Reilh Accepts the Terms of the Electric Ordinance.

The troop made a very creditable shOAving, dressed in Uncle Sam's uniform, and they doubtless Avoukl have made as good a record as the colored troops charged up San Juan hill, had the opportunity been presented.

Long Charlie was the first man off the train and he immediately started out to do the his osculators indescrimi- nately upon every dusky maiden he could get Avithin reach-of. He seemed to be the hero of the hour, and doubtless will hold receptions in imitation of his illustrious white compatriot, "Hobby, old boy." A grand reception was given the boys in the south room of the Newell House Wednesday night, consisting of a program of music, recitations, followed by a banquet. Caiulidatu. .1.

In Murphysboro township the five out of incoming county democrats elected candidates. The 'board will be democratic. The result of the splendid organization made during the last county election is evidenced by the fact that the democrats have carried every township where a straight party light made. They elected the entire ticket in- Pomona, Bradley, Kinkaid, Somerset and.
