Of this you ran rost ab solutely assured I will not antagonize Mr Myers for tha nomination. I think tha- nomination should b- lrndrr.-l him. and If ho accepts 1 will support him It' • ally. This h*aa barn my position all tha lima. I so stated In an Interview more than a month ago " This was Alderman Dixon's statement to a Morning News reporter last night anal Is adeepted as indicating hi* reitrem nt from the ra e for the mayoralty. The statement Is In accordance wttn one Iroin Mr. Idxoh. to which he refers, published In the Morning News some time since, In whDfii he said that he was not a candi- I date for the mayoralty and would not u unless the m.rrii nation had first been ten dered Mayor Myers and declined by that gentleman. The atatemeriv was regarded at the time i aa a sons what peculiar one for a mayor- ' atty car.didnte. That Mr. Dixon has cher ished mayoralty aspiration*. liaaaa ban vary evident, and as the indications were that Mayor Myers would also he a candidate. It was ditttrut} to see how Mr. Dixon could continue lo permit his friends to urge hut ran-iidecy before the public While Mayor Myers hs himself made tio announcement In the matter, It hse become very evident during the last few dtyw that a large percentage of the mem bership. and probaitly a majority of the administration supporters, would insist on his again being a candidate for the party. This being the case Mr Dixon felt that the only course left open to him. nnd the only one which he could consistently adopt, was to abide by the. announcement which he had made oyer a month ago. and to put his friends and the public gen erally on notice to thin effect. Mr. Dixon dacitned, whan seen, to make any further statement than that publish ed above, ft |a known, however, that he consulted with some of his closest friend gw r son ally aid politically, on the subject yestsrlay. and that their advice ways to the effeet that he should make the an nouncement already given. In order that all dissension ant strife on the subject withsn the party ranks might be put an end |o. It has beer. -elder.'. since the first an n.uncemi nt of Me Dixon * candldacv.that besides his large following within the fac tion. there was a very considerable num ber of the former opponents of to. party who regarded Mr DDon's candidacy with favor, and who were Inclined to give him all the em-ouiagemrni possible with the view Of I.ringing about a S>|dlt In the ad mlnistnation (tarty. The leaders of the lat. lev isirty were quirk to iiercrfve this manifestation and to regard It aa an .**.- nous sign, and this, perh ips m ire than anything else, accounts for their decis ion Shat It would tie unwise to have i contest witii the party. There being a Very general demand in the party ranks for the continuance of Mayor Myers In office and It being apparent that the Mayor was not aveiae to heeding this call, there was only one thing left to <1... and this was to r*-tlie the Junior candi date. while II might lie dan* without pre judice to eUhrr parly. Mayor Myers is now In a fair way to receive the unani mous nomination nf the Citizens' faction Hiiould he de. line, Mr Dixon's name will again be brought forward. AM.fman Dixon's si nouncemcnt will be quite a disappointment to his backer*, some of whiwn h.ive liven quite enthusi astic In Ids behalf Among them are a number of city employes who have been very active In advocating the nandtdacy of the Ald-omuii There is some curiosi ty as to how thew will be affected by the ra w state of affairs, ft la understood, however, that Alderman Dixon Mi assured that hla friends will not suffer Asa further Indication of the harmonious ri latlona prevailing It Is staled that Aider man Dixon will again be a candidate on the Myar's ticket at the coming election OCK*T 4T t \ O V STKH It OAST.
