City Hall chieftains gave out no formal announcement of their slate of candidates, but some of the leaders who were present last evening when the agreement was reached, confided to' friends that the Kehoe Langan party would support the out going office holders for another term. The only new member of the administration slate is Peter J. Minichiello, of 48 Wilson street, who will receive the support of City Hall for Republican and Democratic nominations for the office of school director. Other candidates of the administration for the school board will be Thomas F.

Doyle and William J. Williamson, present members of the board, who were appointed to fill out the unexpired terms of Mayor Ambrose Langan, who resigned his office, and the late Michael H. Quinnan. Quite a surprise was occasioned when it was learned that Michael P. Ruane, of Upper Pittston, will receive the party's backing for a third term as city treasurer.

Mr. Ruane's loyalty to the party has never been questioned and he has established a creditable record of efficiency during his eight years in the treasurer's office, but the situation became involved several weeks ago when Thomas brother of School Director John kehoe, received an appointment from the county commissioners as collector of county taxes hi Pittston City and a few days later was appointed by the Poor Board as collector of poor taxes. Usually these offices are held by the city treasurer, who is. ex officio, collector of school taxes and it was thought that administration chieftains intended to trot out the younger Mr. Kehoe as a candidate to suceed Treasurer Ruane.

A few days ago the treasurershlp fight, took on a new and interesting angle when Alderman M. J. Redding, of the Third Ward, filed Republican and Democratic petitions as a candidate for the office. 'Squire Redding has always been a staunch friend of Mayor Langan, In the Third Ward and administration followers realized that his entry into the fight would embarrass His Honor if the party decided to support either Mr. Kehoe or Treasurer Ruane.

It was learned today, from a source that Is usually reliable, that Mr. Kehoe will not be a candidate and that 'Squire Redding will likely withdraw his petitions before the ballots are printed. The announcement that the party will support Coundlmen Anthony A. Reddingtcn and Thomas F. Gallagher for re election came as no surprise.

Both members of council have made many friends during their eight years of service at City Hall and, while many of the rank and file of the party put forth the argument that an office holder should be satisfied with two consecutive terms, more experienced party workers won out in their stand that a worthy public servant cannot be retained for too long a time in an office of responsibility. Peter J. Minichiello, who will receive the party's backing for the third school board berth, is seeking the favor of Pittston voters for the first time. He was born in Pitrton and has resided here throughout his entire life. His family was one of the first two Italian families to settle in the Pittston district and have always commanded the respect of their neighbors.
