AMERICUS PRIMARY
AROUSES INTEREST,
The Election of Mayor and Three Al
dermen.
NOW COMMANDS ALL ATTENTION
Date of Primary Has Not Been Fixed
Yet. The Probability of Another
Candidate For Mayor. Aldermanlc
Timber Is Still Wanting.

When the average citizen asks anoth-
or average citizen who is going to be
elected Mayor of Americas the latter
carefully sizes up the interrogation and
cheerfully admits that he doesn't
know. And the chances are that he
unconsciouslY tells the truth.
1t is question that is puzzling the
three candidates and their friends not
little bit just now.
The chances of success of the three
avowed candidates, Messrs. Clarke,
Watts and Fielder, have been canvassed
at length during the past two weeks
and with varying results.
The probable entry of Mr.. w. P.
Wallis into the race would change the
situation some, and there is a pros
pect of his yielding to the requests of
his friends to make the race. AS yet
he will answer positively neither yea
nor nay whenever approached on the
subject.
Many of his friends believe that he
will soon announce his candidacy.
This would make the race a four cor
nered one, as all the candidates are in
to the finish despite rumors to the eff
cot that one of them might withdraw.
The aldermanic end of the campaign
is tagging terribly. AS yet there are
no announcements, though there are
three places to be filled. Messrs.
Query, Watts and Oliver are the re-
tir1ng members, and one or all of these
will probably offer again for re-elec-
ton.
Alderman Watts, however, is out for
mayor and already IN the race
The executive committee will meet
shortly and fix the date of the primary,
and while the real campaign will be
, short it will be lively from start to fin
| ish.
