WILMETH PUTS CUSTOM ASIDE IN NEW MOVE Candidate Tells Who He Would Apoint If Elected Mayor. OGDEN AT LIST’S HEAD Names Persons in Enemy Camp for Choice Jobs. Smashing political precedent, City .ludge Delbert O. Wilmoth today made public names of persona he would appoint to important positions if he were nominated for Mayor on the Republican ticket and if he were elected in November. This is something which most men guard as a deep secret until a few days before they assume office. 'Phe judge further deviated from kibe usual political rule by announcr ing he would choose for corporation counsel, one of the most important city Jobs, paying $5,000 a year, JAMES M. OGDEN, present counsel. The deviation from custom lies in the fa'ct that Ogden is chairman of the speakers’ bureau for Ralph A. Lemcke, rival candidate of Wilmeth for the G. O. P. nomination. Would Keep Scliloss Besides Ogden, Wilmeth said he would name: SOL SCHLOSS. clothier, as chairman of the board of health because lie "is above the petty political bickering that so often Interferes with proper administration.” Schloss now holds the position, having been named by Mayor Shank. Shank is supporting Lemcke. WALTER J. GODDALL of the W. .1. Holliday Company, as city controller. CITY COUNCILMAN THEODORE .1. BERND, as member of the board of safety. < 'TTY COUNCILMAN WALTER W. WISE, as member of the board of public works. O. B. ILES, as member of the park board. Names Three Women .MRS. EDNA BARCUS, Democrat, member of the park board. MRS. SAMUEL DAVIS, social worker, as head of the weights and measures department, t MISS ANNA JOHNSON. WllPneth s present secretary, as secretary to the mayor. The Judge declared he has made no promises and consulted none of those whose names he used. , "L am setting forth these names as typical of the class of men and women from which my appointees will be selected,” said 'Wilmeth. “These persons will be Invited to positions in my administration. None of them has sought or will seek a place. Tt I cannot induce these individuals to serve with me I shall invite others of the same sterling character. “I’m rather surprised at this news,” Ogden declared. “It puts me is a most embarrassing position and I have nothing to say.” Schloss was out of the city today. Goodall said: "Well, of course this is a little sudden. It’s a long way off to election, and there are many bridges to be crossed. It’s a wise rule not to count your chickens before they are hatched.” “He can’t do that, it’s a violation of the corrupt practices act,” said former Sheriff George Snider, in charge of organization work for John L. Duvall, in commenting on Wilmeth’s announcement. “To make such pledges as that disqualifies him as a candidate and puts him out of the running." >FIVE ARE LOST IN SHIPWRECK Three Boats Abandoned and Two Are Damaged.
