ELECTION SOON IN
NORTH BIRMINGHAM
Three Candidates in Field for
Office of Mayor
ISSUE is LIQUOR QUESTION
Election Takes Place April 6, and the
Campaign Promises to BE Lively
one-The Candidates for
Various offices.
ISSUE is LIQUOR QUESTION

North Birmingham will have its NUM-
cipal election on April and politics
there are warming up. The candidates for
mayor are C. B. Mitchell the present in
cumbent; j. F. Knight and James II.
Cole.
Mr.. Knight was nominated at mass
meeting held last Wednesday night. The
other two candidates were nominated by
petitions. each petition being signed by
over twenty-five democratic voters.
The past week witnessed lively cleo
ton on the question of granting licenses
to saloons. The vote stood 81 to 81, but
the anti-license people won, as those who
wanted saloons failed to receive q ma
jority of the votes cast, as was required
to make saloons lawful.
The saloon question is a lively issue
in North Birmingham and it is largely on
this feature that warm election is ex-
pected next month.
The mayor and aldermen are elected
once year. All of the present aldermen
are candidates for reelection.
A prominent citizen of North Birming-
ham said yesterday that a law and order
ticket had been put in the field, the
ticket headed by men who were opposed
to the granting of licenses to saloons
1t is said that Mr.. Knight and Mr..
Mitchell are both in favor of this ticket
and are running on it as candidates for
the chief executive of the town.
IT, Ticket,
At the mass meeting which nominated
nominated for aldermen
First ward, j. M. oliver Second ward,
E. A. Brown; Third ward, ]. w. Hawkins,
present incumbent; Fourth ward, w. 7.
Folsom; Fifth ward, W. NJ. Lindsey. This
ticket is said to be headed by both Mr..
Knight and Mr.. Mitchell.
The other ticket put out is as follows:
For Mayor j. II. Cole; aldermen First
ward, r. r. Simmons; Second ward,
Hugh Friel; Third ward, blank Fourth
ward, George Carnes; Fifth ward J. NJ.
Lovelass and ]. w. Arnold. OF this num-
Der Simmons, Carnes, Lovelass and Friel
are now member of the board.
There is a creek running through North
birmingham and it is said the people on
the southside generally have two men,
bers of the board and those on the north
side three members.
Principal Issue.
Mr. Knight said yesterday that the
fight would be largely on the saloon
question. In discussing it he said: "A
number of the citizens of North Bir-
mingham do not think the present officers
have enforced the law as they might have
done, with special reference to keeping
down the sale of intoxicants and towards
keeping out blind tigers. And then some
of the people do not think the board has
been conservative enough as to the flnan-
oial affairs of the town"
The campaign is just beginning to warm
up after the election on the license ques-
ton. The people of the town will have
considerable political excitement within
the next few weeks.
