Candidates for the various borough
offices to be voted for on Tuesday,
March 9Th, have been springing up in
the past few days. AT the present time
it looks like fight to the finish between
the Smith and the anti-Smith forces.
A week ago there seemed to be nothing
doing, but it is reported that all is
changed now. AS far as the JOURNAL
is able to find out the Smith ticket will
be headed with Mayor Frank E. Smith
to succeed himself. His brother, Lonnie
o. Smith, for Collector. Chas. A. Nor
ton for Assessor, and VIM. r. Pinker
for Council. 1t appears at the present
time that the second man for Council
has not been decided upon. The anti
Smith ticket will contain the name OF
Vim. L. Garrison, the we'll known con-
tractor, for Mayor, and w. H. Bright
for Collector, with the two councilmen
and the assessor vet to be decided upon.
