Obregon had two nominal opponents,

siderable support among the conserva
tive Cntholle element.
Tho otljer opponent Nicholas Zuniga
Miranda, is known ns Mexico's perpet

candidate for the last thirty years, hav

With the exception of the Twenty-sixth,
wncro iraincr upfeateil Congressman
Yaro for tho ward leadership, the ward
committees arc controlled by tho Varcs.
Allianco Men May Fight
Because of this situation, It Is be
lieved the Ilepubican nomination will bo
handed to Pommer unless Scanlon or
some other Allinnce candidate cari swing
the committees to him.
The alternative confronting Alliance
leaders is to pre-empt papers for a new
party with which Scanlon or another
candidate can fight to keep down the
Varo representation in the city Council.
. I'oiumcr, said to be the Varo choice,
is forty-nine years old and lives at 1421
South Sixth street. He has held politi
cal jobs for nearly twenty years.
Four fourteen years Pommer ves an
employe of the district attorney's office,
where he wns rated as a detective, but
performed tho duties of chief clerk. Jile
was elected to the old Select Council .in
iuu, succeeding Jnmcs Ilazlctt. and.
was elected for a full term in 1015, butfrmd floor, the man told tho hotel clerk
resigned to nqcept an appointment ns
tipstaff in Common Pleas Court No. 1.
' On July 10 last cnr Pommer was
named a magistrate by Governor Sproul
to fill H10 vacancy caused by the death
of George K. Hogg. Pommer did not get
tho nomination for magistrate last fall
and returned to his court job. Later,
when another vacancy in the minor ju
diciary occurred, it was believed Pom
mer would get the temporary appoint
ment. '
Governor Sproul appointed Daniel It.
Oswnld to the maclitracv. Humors
that tho Governor had refused to name
Pommer ngain wero denied by Senator
vnre. -xuo senator asserted the Gov
ernor was ready to name Pommor, but
that tho latter refused to accept.
Balzlcy Also In Field
Wiiilp the arrow of the Vare choice
is said fo, havo swung definitely toward
Pommer for Council, others tva being
mentioned for the $5000 place. Among
them aro John II. Baizley, former
common councilman ; Charles Campbell,
n court officer of the Thirty-ninth ward,
nnd Leopold 0. Glass, of tho First
ward.
Glass, a state representative, is n
candidate for re-election to the House
at Ilarrisbuig, and it is not believed the
varo organization will have him with
draw. Vare leaders today contended that
Pommer is n more logical candidate
than Scanlon, tho Allianco leader. The
Varcs say two of tho councilmen from
tho First district live west of Broad
fctrect, ns does Scanlon.
The Vnres say Pommer's residence.In

COMPLAIN OF R. R. RATES
Seaside Park Residents Ask for Re
duction In Present Fare
Complaint, signed by a large number
of residents of Seaside Park, N. J.,
hns beensent to the New Jersey Public
Utility Commission usklng thnt the rall
ronds be ordered to sell round-trip tick
ets from bhore points to Philadelphia nt
the same price thnt is asked for such
tickets from all points to the seashore.
At present passengers from shore re
sorts nro obliged to pay a straight one
way faro which, under the Into increase
in fares, makes the amount much larger
than the old round-trip tickets. The
romplnints point out that under the
lnte railroad bill passed by Congress the
rnilronds are not permitted to charge
for tho same servieo n greater price to
one set of patrons than to another,
nnd that at present tho railroads to
shore towns aro doing this.
Tho railroads, when under govern
ment control, established this custom nt
the request of tho resorts, when all
round-trip or cheap excursion tickets
everywhere wero abolished. It was
urged by the resorts that tickets to these
points were In the nature of tourists
tickets, and should be sold cheaper. This
was conceded by the government. It is
now contended by tho permanent resi
dents of these resorts that with the
passing of thp railroads back to the
control of ,tho companies the state
utility commission's refusal to abolish
excursion tickets within New Jersey
comes into effect, asjit has done in New
York and other states.

of approximately $4.27 a day and a
maximum of $5.50 a day have been
mado to the Civil Service Commission by
GrifTonhagcn & Associates, who were
engaged by the city to classify munici
pal position and standing compensation.
Months ago tho Evenino PunLic
IjEDOEtt urged that patrolmen bo paid
$5 a day.
At present patrolmen receive $3.85 a
day for the first vear of service nnd
nucr tne nrst year $4.:io a uay.
Incrcaso for Patrolmen
Patrolmen who at tho present nre
receiving $1428.75 and $1047.75 a
year, would, under the new schedules,
receive $1500 to $2040. depending upon
their length of service and efficiency.
Tho minimum rate of pay would bo
$1500, the Intermediate rates $1680,
$1800 and $1020, while the maximum
rate for patrolmen would bo $2040.
After the system has been established
a patrolman will be advanced from one
rate to tho next higher after a ycor 8
service, so that, af - five years a pa
trolman will receive tho maximum sal
ary that Is, the new patrolman will
start at $1500, go to $1080 after six
months, $1800 after eighteen months,
$1020 after thirty months nnd reach
$2040 at the end of his forty-second

rate of $1800 (representing an "ad
justment" of $32.25, and a "service

of $152.25). Under the new schedule
these men will receive in au-i me new
Intermediate rate of $1800, which Is a
trifio less than $5 ncr day. provided the
man works 30Ir days a year.
If the new bchcdule is adopted, incse
men will be ndvanced inN1022 to the
next rate, which is $1020. and in 1023
to the maximum rate cf $2010.
This same system is recommended for
the other employes in the police bureau.
For example, tne house sergeant, who
now receivcK. including bonus, tho sum
of $1785, will be udvanced to the new
minimum salary for house sergeants
which is $2100, and after" an additional
year will be entitled to the next higher
rate for house sergeants which is $2220,
and after another year to $2340 and
ultimately to $2460, which is the maxi
