The political pot has been simmering

who delight in local politics up to the
frenzy of interest that is so often dis
played.
Several meetings have already been
held. but they have not been quite so
largely attended as it is thought those
that are to be held this week will be.
The administration forces declares
that they will get out large attend
ances for their gatherings, which they
are talking up manfully and con-
stantly. Invitations to attend are easy
to get, and the politicians declare to
all whom they invite that the best Of
treatment will be accorded all who at

Administration adherents declare
that they will have no opposition in
the approaching elections. They say
that there has been little or no gossip
of opposition, which is remarkable, as
it is usually the case that when no
contest is made for the Offices it is yet
to be noted that candidates are sug-

those mentioned have the question of
running under consideration.
There is talk now of Mayor Myers,
as his own successor, and Chairman of
