P. REID VERSUS C. BECK

BOTH MEN ARE OUT FOR MAYORALTY NOMINATION AND BOTH ABE CONFIDENT THEY WILL SECURE THE HONOR. Pettis A. Reld and Charles Beck, the two candidates for the democratic nomination' for mayor, are confident that enough of the delegates selected at the ward meetings last evening wi!l vote for them tonight at the city convention, city building, to insure their nomination. With both candidates claiming the nomination, it is easily seen that the race will be a tight one and interesting. No doubt it will be a hot one, as it is understood that much bitter feeling has arisen between the Schillinger and Bayer forces of the zty. ' The successful candidate will be the opposition furnished to Dr. W. W. t Zimmerman, the republican nominee. Friends of democratic hopefuls, of course, are claiming that their man is the only one who will tear down the strength and fortifications of Dr. Zimmerman. The delegates elected at the ward meetings last evening were not instructed. They can vote for whom they please. However, the leaders on both sides were in evidence today, talking with the delegates. The following are the council candidates: First Ward, Casper Kelly; Second Ward. John W. Bolzer and Seventy Ward. J. Rethmeyer. No candidates for council were named in the other wards. However, it is understood that there will be several to seek the nomination at the hands of the convention, this evening, for councilman-at-large. Among the candidates are A. Bavin and possibly one or two others may be named. Mr. Bavis is , shop employe and is receiving offers of support from the republicans a3 well as the democrats. The Fourth Ward intends to put up a candidate against William Bar tel. the republican nominee. The candidate will be selected at an adjourned meetIng of the ward democrats Friday evenlng.

THREATS ARE NOT HEEDED

ORGANIZATION STATED THAT IF IT WAS NOT EMPLOYED IT WOULD PREVENT SMITTIE'S BAND COMING. In view of the fact that he Richimond Union bard made a proposition to the executive committee of the fall festival that unless the band was employed during the festival, Smltties band of Cincinnati, which is a union organization, would not be permitted to play in Richmond, it was the unamimous decision of the executive committee at its meeting last evening, not to engage the union band of this city. The executive committee stated that it did not propose to be "buffaloed" by a few musicians or allow 'them to interfere in any way with any arrange, ments they have made. Smltties band Is under contract to play in this city during the fall festival and the committee does not believe that the contract will be broken, despite the threats of the local union musicians, who declare they will use every means to prevent Smittic from coming here. The menacing attitude of the local union band is looked upon with much disfavor by the committee. The band made a direct threat that unless they were employed at those terms direful consequences would follow. The committee does not regard the band as a first class organization. Negotiations are under way to secure the Indianapolis Newsboys band so in event Smittic does withdraw from his contract, there will be plenty of good music anyway. The Newsboys Band consists of fifty pieces and is recognized as one of the best musicll organizations in the state. PRICE SMALL OIIE Tickets for the press banquet to be given at the coliseum Friday evening, October 9, in honor of Governor Thomas R. Marshall and visiting editors will be placed on sale in a few days. The tickets will be one dollar each. As the feast which the caters are going to set before the public will be a bountious one, which combined with, the privilege of eating dinner with Governor Marshall makes the price a very small one.
