A citywide vote will be taken on the two candidates for city treas urer, c. O. Rice, -incumbent, and Paul H. Hauser, neither of whom received a majority in a four-way race last May. In the second ward the addition al contest will be between Fred E. Wells and Frank P. Marshall for the council seat now held by Dr. H. H. Olinger, who was not a candidate for reelection. While fourth ward citizens also will vote on a council position, it is a case of "no contest" since Gertrude F. Lobdell, who won a majority in May but was subse quently held ineligible for the of fice, is the lone candidate. In May MrB. Lobdell had not resided in SalenI the three . years required for officeholders. She became el igible, however. In August.

"Somebody is going to be doublercrossed," he shouted after citing these and other Instances of alliances. He kept repeating it until It became a son of refrain after each paragraph.
