views on municipal government are

Frank Crassweller filed his certificate
during the week.
Ills supporters are not doing very
1n'1cd lust at present, but they expect

the primaries. The men supporting
Mr.. Crassweller are usually regarded
as the workers in the Democratic
i,Nrty. This fact Is assuring his fol-

that he will run against a strong man,

pretty political battle may be expected
IN the Second. n
