When the time comes for the members
OF the City Council 10 stand for recollection
In the spring there will be varied num-
Der of aspirants for the positions now
held by various ward representatives. In
several instances the fight against the
present members of the Council who arc
to come up for reelection will be fierce,
and Manchester may witness campaign,
municipality, that 1t has never known
before.
President John S. Wakefield, member of
the Council from the First Ward, will not
stand for reelection. His business will
not permit of him attending all of the
committee meetings, and Mr. Wakefield
IS a man who either performs every duty
imposed upon him or gets away from the
position. He has been in the Assembly
for years and has made most eIncient
officer. The First Ward has at all times
been ably represented by Mr.. Wakefield.
He VIII likely leave his power in the
hands OF Assemblyman c. C. Jones. the
member from the First Ward who has
done so much for the section in which
he lives.
Already the campaign has started. An
nexation will play conspicuous part in
the election of several members. Those
who have opposed or those who have fav-
ored the scheme will be fought by some.
In matter of this kind 1t Is impossible
to please all Of ones constituents and the
councilmen are finding this out.
