SMITH, CONLON AND WHITTCMORE POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC On approaching the final week before the Republi can and Democratic caucuses which fall on the same date, February 24th, Endicott's pob'tical pot is boiling, beneath the kettle, cover with but few escapes of live steam. Present indications are that at least three names will be presented to the Democratic party for considera tion for the nomination of mayor and that four or more will be brought up at the Republican meeting. A dif ferent aspect on the situation in the two parties is mark ed however, in that local political leaders believe that the Democrats will harmoniously unite upon one name for the executive position while the Republican leaders expect a heated battle between the cohorts of four or more candidates. OF LOCAL BUSINESS IS PLANNEt Nearly 200 business and profes sional men of Endicott will meet on o r about the 23rd of this month in Names advanced for considera tion at the Democratic caucus in clude Dr Julian Smith, Ernest L. Conlon and Fred O. Whittemore. From these three popular candid ates is expected to be chosen one upon whom the entire party will unite and who, it is rumored, may draw support from the Republi can ranks in event of a disagree ment between th e factions of the latter party Among th e many candidates mentioned for the Republican nomination are those of Clarke E. Bennett, Dr. William T. Ander son, former mayors, both of whom three are t o be chosen to replace Dr. Julian Smith, Philip Nystrnr^ and Walter Eckert, also loams a exceedingly uncertain. Nystrom and Eckert have already announc ed their candidacy for re-election and Dr. Smith's candidacy will, of course, depend upon whether o r not he is chosen as his party's standard bearer- for th e executive position. It .has been reported that both Arthur Barton and Wil liam McCann may seek the Re publican nomination for the posi tion. The candidacy of Stephen O.
