OakYille, The Dlennlal election
for mayor and aldermen of the
little west Alabama town was
approaching. and for special reasons
the coming contest was regarded as
particularly important to mIn!elpsl
welfare. Even the women caught fire
and talked politics at balls and con
certs, and II was rumored that several
engagements were on the verge OF
fracture hy reason of difference in
political opinion.
Oakyille always cast q solid vote for
Democracy mt state aud presidential
elections. But when mayor and
board of aldermen were to be chosen.
when there was no Republican opposi-
ton to be feared. the loyal Democrats
of the town deemed Ii no treason to
the glorious old party to make what Is
termed politically split. The candi-
dates for mayor on the present occasion
Were the incumbent, Colonel Jackson,
who had held the office for Il series of
terms, and Charles Lawton, young
lawyer. who was very popular In the
town. and both were Democrats.
A circumstance that always gave the
municipal election ut Oakvllle Il pc
culiar and picturesque interest was the
existence of the negro vote. The candi
date who could control majority of
this element was always successful, and
