other candidates Col. Dunn is considered
considerably ahead. He has a good Re
publican record, is heavily endorsed by
the Glynn county executive committee, the
Eleventh District committee and the state
organization ed by Messrs. Johnson. Cor

has friends very close TO the President

to devise ways and means to run the stamp
company out of town. Action in the
courts is threatened. and also action by
Council putting a prohibitory tax on the
business. The latter is expected to be asked
for at the next meeting of Council
The non-stamp users have declared war
