LIVELY CONTEST FOR PLACE |Many Citizens Think Berth in Council Their Size. | | KIMBALL FOR SOLICITORSHIP City Engineer Etnyre is Practically Sure of Remomination and | Election—Killpack for Mayor. Indications are that there will be a lively scramble for the nominations at the city primary election on February 2, especally among aspirants for seats in the city coun- cil. Councliman Carl A. Morgan, who iep- resents the First ward in the city counell, was the only candidate to file papers with City Auditor McAneney yesterday. Mr Morgan s out after higher honors than that of ward councliman. He is'a candi- date for the republican nomination for one of the two counclimen-at-large. It is un- derstood that Mr. Morgan decided to seek the nomination for councilman-at-large in- stead of a renomination in his own ward 50 that he would be in line as a candidate for one of the positions on the councll in the event thut the commission form of gov- [ ernment should be adopted Oscar Younkerman, at present one of the | councilmen-at-large, will not seek a renom- ination at the hands of the democratlc party. He Is now finishing his third term |in the city council and sald yesterday “With me it's a case of three times and out. 1do not intend to be a candidate fur renomination as councilman-at-large or as councliman from the First ward.

L. Evans, worthy president of the Councll Bluffs aerle of Eagles, announced yesterday that he was in the tield for the democratic nomination in the First ward. John Myrtue, a bulld- ing contractor, was also sald yesterday to be out for the democratic nomination in this ward. The Firet ward was always Council Bluffs strongly democratic until Councilman Car! Morgan defeated Charles Walters two years ago, Councilman John Olson, at present a councliman-at-large, has declaied that he will not seek a renomination at the hands of the republicans and will not ac- cept it 1f tendered him on a silver platter. His Danlsh constituents, however, may in- duce him to change his mind before Janu- ary 25, it is sald. Councllman McMiller will not be a candi- dute for renomination as councilman from the Fifth ward. Mr. McMillen is anxious to retire Into private life and says noth- ing will Induce him to accept a renomina- tion. Since being elected to represent the Fourth ward in the city council Council- man Skodsholm has accumulated a second grocery store, and business cares, he sald yesterday, would prevent him further ser ing the public as a member of the city council. He will not seek a renomination. Councilman Rigdon of the Third ward has not yet decided whether he will ask a re nomination from the republicans In his ward, as his business Interests may de mand his entire attention.

The session of the Board of Supervisors yesterday was devoted almost wholly routine business. The reports of the sev- eral justices of the peace throughout the county showed their respective communi- tles to be most law abiding, with the result that the justices had little to do. Twelve of the justices filing their annual reports showed that their offices had been empty honors, as they had no business to record to everal of the reports show only one to five minor cases during the year.

TAMA, Ta., Jan. 7.—(Speclal)—Much in- side information, regarding the truth of the recently wide reprinted story deroga- tory of Secretary of the Agriculture “Jim Wilson, which originally appeared in the Philadelphia American a few weeks ago, is gleaned from Truer near where Mr Wilson owns much valuable land and where he resided for many years. The story referred to dealt espectally with Mr. Wilson as a farmer. and pletures were printed showing views of what was said to be his farm In support of the con- tention that he was not a practical farmer at all, Certaln residents of this town were in- terviewed by the newspaper man of the American when he visited this city and the Wilson farms to secure material for the story. The one very sore spot this news- paper man made was when he offered @ photographer $5 to take pictures on the Wilson leased farm where the fences were broken and dilapitated and condi- tions In general gave the worst impression, for as he sald, he wanted everything to look as bad, from the agricultural stand- point for the secretary as possible, dnd that he did not care for views of the fins herds of blooded cattle the secretary owns or the elegant Wilson homestead. What the newspaper man desired was views of a farm which the secretary deeded to iy son two years ago, and In the manage- ment of which the senior Mr. Wilson h over twenty years It is this rather rundown property that {he newspaper man visited and deseribed and he 4id not even visit the elegant Wil- son homestead, the management of which is still In Mr. Wilson's hands. had no part for Coal Miner fnjured.
