AND
MAYFIELD

one week today will tell the story
in relation to the result of the borough
election. Everyone is now forming an
opinion, and some are very loud in eX-
pressing themselves, and u very few
seem willing to back their opinion by
wagering money. one thing evidently
is certain, that the friends of each of
the candidates are WORKING with a zeal
more noticeable in this election than
has ever before been seen. 1t would lie
a very safe assertion in stating that
| the citizens will turn out and vote in
a larger number than has been known
| for some time. The talk a few days
ago was on tax collector but now it
| has changed to the question of the
next burgess A very earnest political
| battle will be fought in the Second
ward between Hector Swick and Will
| lam Rowe Mr.. Swick has already
| served one term as councilman and
| the people are well aware of his abil-
ity and integrity, and know well what
stand he would take if reelected. Mr.
| Rowe las never been in the council
| but his friends feel confident that he
would 10 nothing wrong and would al
ways work for the best interests of the
| people If elected.
