most exciting municipal elections that has
been held here of late years. There are two
candidates for mayor in the field. Hon J.
X. Bodwell as republican candidate, who i
honOred and respected by men of all parties,
who consider it privilege to show their es-
TEEN and appreciation of his interest in the
welfare of Hallowell, and fitness for the posi-
ton, by casting their votes for him as mayor
and there i, no doubt but he will he elected
by handsome majority. He is, in the
true sense of the term, the ''ctizens
candidate" There are number of demo
Gratis who have never cast vote for anv but
a democrat candidate before who say that
they intend at this election u vote for Hon
j K. Bodwell. Mr.. J. J. Jones the nom-
