The local political situation took on
added interest last. week when .Mr. Jno.
A. Franks, a leading merchant of the
city, announced his determination to
enter the race for mayor of the city.
The only other candidate for the sate
oflice so far a declared aspirant is Mr.
C. Ml. Ilabb, a former mayor. Specula
tion as to the outcome of the race is
ripe and friends of each candidate e
predicting a victory for their favorite
though the general opinion is that the
race will be a close one. The first lri
marty will he held Tuesday, February
19tii, a little less than a month from
today.
Aldermanic aspirants increased
rapidly last week, the early announce
ment of several candidates evidently
having spurred would-be oilee hold
ers to throw their hats Into the ring.

known their decision to run are as fol

DRASTIC FUEL ORDER ISSUED.
(Continued from Front Page.)
by Fuel Administrator Garfield with
the aiproval'of President Wilsoh, pre
scribing stringent restrictions govern
ing the distribution and use of coal.
It was decided' upon hurriedly by the

desperate remedy for the fil crisis and
the transportat ion tangle in eastern

excepted from the closing down order.
The order prescribes a preferential
list of consumers In whose interest it
was drawn. Thse users will get coal
in the following order:
Railroads.
Household consumers, hospitals,
charitable Institutions and army and
navy cantonlents.
Public utilities, telephones and tele
graph plants.
Strictly government enterprises, ex
eopting factories and plants working
on government contracts.
Public buildings and necessary gov
ernment, state and municipal require
ments.
Factories producing perishable foods
and foods for immediate consumption.
On the Monday holidays besides
manufacturing plants the following
consumers will be forbidden to use
coal: Business and professional offices
(except to prevent freezing) except
those used for government ofes or
banks and trust companies and those
housing physicians and dentists;
wholesale and retail stores and those
that sell food: all amusement places
and saloons. State fuel administrators
may close the bank and trust company
buildings if they think necessary.
