candidacy for the office of overseer Of
highways. Henry is well known and
has on his staff number of good
workers with cards up their sleeves
John Morrow, it is said. will be his
opponent. Thos. J. Murphy has de-
clared himself for treasurer and will
make good hard fight. His opponent
will be VIM. Burke. S. E. Helps will
be in the field for reelection as town
ship clerk. Ed has run the gauntlet to
success so often that if he were to
keep out the election in March would
be embarrassing. Sparta will fill the
