Municipal Election in Laurel

Evening
LAUREL. Nd, March T. 1908.
Although IT has been persistentIy stated
that politics will not enter into the COM
ing municipal election. which falls upon
the first Monday in April. it is asserted by
those well informed concerning local con-
ditions that politics viii have a great deal
to do with the mayoralty contest. The
fact that the incumbent. Mayor G. B. IT,
manus. Is candidate for reelection. and
also has his eyes on the republican leader
ship In the 10th or Laurel election district.
and that many republicans are among the
most pronounced partisans OF Mr.. Edward
Phelps, also a candidate for mayor and q
democrat, who was for seven terms the
chief executive of the town, Is accepted as
controverting the statement that the COM
ing election will rest entirely on municipal
considerations.
A lively canvass Of the town Ii In pro-
gress by the candidates and their follow
ers Both sides are claiming that their
forces viii come out ahead with sub
stantiaI majority. but Notwithstanding
these claims they are not allowing the

Sir Liang Chen Tung, the new
Chinese envoy to this country, is a
many sided man. He is thirty-nine
years old and was one of the 120
students sent by China, beginning in
1882, to learn American ways. He en-
tered Amherst college, but was un-
able to graduate because of recall
by his government. He was an ex-
pert catcher and pitcher ON the
baseball mines at Phillips and Am
herst. He is fond of society and
is an entertaining conversationalist.
1t remains to be seen whether he
can approach the retiring Minister
WI as an after dinner speaker. Sir
