# South Bend Politics. South Bend, Nov. 30.-Special-Another ticket has been put in the field for the coming city election, with the object of economizing somewhat on city expenses, In spite of the refusal of the city council to reduce salaries. The state law allows the treasurer in third-class cities $25 per month, which it is generally conceded is too much, considering the small responsibility and light duties. The present incumbent, who is also a candidate for re-election, has the city funds tied up in the suspended First National bank, and he and his friends will make a strong fight to prevent the suit against him, which must inevitably come when he goes out of office and has to deliver the funds to his successor. L. A. Smith was nominated for treasurer on the business men's ticket. It is an understood thing that he will serve for $10 per month, and return the remainder of his salary to the city, although the law does not permit him to publicly pledge himself to that course. The other nominees are: For clerk, W. E. Brown; for councilman, Gus Meisner.
