RAILROAD TICKET PROBABLE

ROCKVILLE. Md. April 1S-As the
time of the town election for mayor and
council of Rockville draws near. the
people are discussing candidates and
propositions as they are related to the
readmission of the Washington and
Rockville Railway into the town limits
The citizens no longer have the refer
endum in matters of granting railroad
franchises. this being now in the power
of the council alone. For the past week
it has been rumored that after the cleo
ton of the new council in May next. the
railroad will again re-enter the town
and go to the court house. as hereto
fore. This has met with opposition Of
the most strenuous kind on the part Of
the citizens owning property in Mont
gomery Avenue. over which the cars
will run. as Well as a number OF resi-
dents OF the west end.
Railroad Has Ticket.
The friends of the railroad have yir-
tualiy agreed upon a ticket. although
the names of the men have not been
made public. Mayor Hattersly w Tai
bOtt has let II become known that he
will stand for reelection. and those

futt. D. J. Bready. w. b. Burdette. and
Dr. R c Warheld
One of these men says he wants the
road back into the town. This Is also
the sentiment OF another Of the men.
but he IS not making a fight for election
He says II the people want him he will
serve. II they don't want him. there
will be no quarrel

Opponents of the road are not likely
e support these men. They do not be-
lieve in going to the railroad and asking
il To come back into the town upon con-
ditiCns which il may submit. The op-
pCnents say that the railroad should.
