BUSY CANDIDATES
ARE SKIRMISHING
A Battle Royal for 0lce
Waged,
AT CONTEST FOR couNcILMEN
Seven Aspire to Places on AIdermanic
Board Though There is Room for
But Three-The Result a Matter of
Much Speculation.

The hottest election Americus has
known in quite awhile lie that to be
waged today for three members of the
city council. The campaign of two or
three weeks has been spirited, and the
candidates and their numerous friends
will keep this up to the boiling point
until the 700 votes are counted ont
today
For up to this time it seems to be al
most anyone's race, SO close is the re-
suit going to be.
Messrs. ID, M, Borum, W. J. Gum,
G. J. Sherlock, J. W. Query, f. B.
Arthur, j. S. Bolton and L. M. Hans
ford, are the aldermanic aspirants
from among whom three must be
chosen.
Interest in the primary has resulted
in large registration, The names of
quite 700 white voters appear upon the
lists, and few if any of these well fail
to cast ballot, Each candidate has
quite strong following and expresses
confidence in his ability to put four of
the other fellows behind him.
For each and every man has been as
sured of success today.
Three aldermen will thus be chosen
for the full term of two years, and the
voters of Americus will, no doubt, ex.
ercise judgment in selecting the best
men for the position.
The duties of an alderman are as re.
sponsible as those of bank cashier.
Each is entrusted with the property of
of others whom he serves snd each
should be alike faithful in the dis
charge of duty. The prosperity of
city depends largely upon the board of
aldermen, who levy taxes and direct
public affairs.
And just at this time, more than ever
before, Americus needs broad minded
conservative business men to hold
steady the helm.
Public interest and civic pride more
than private gain should impel man
to offer for such position of RESPONSE
bility nd.trust. A public Office of this
kind should not be the medium for the
distribution of favors and the reward
ing of friends. Let the advancement
OF Americus alone be kept in view.
Put good men in such public posi-.
tions and the prosperity of Americus is
assured.
