MUNICIPAL RACE BEGINS.
Two Prominent Citizens Of DemOpOlis
Want to BE Mayor.

Demopols Oct. 7.-(Special)-It Is
the opinion of every one that the ai~
preaching municipal campaign will De
one of the fiercest ever held in De-
mopolis and one which will call forth
the greatest efforts ever made by the
people to elect Mayor.
Two extremely strong and popular
men are announced as candidates al

Meriwether. although the municipal
election is nearly eight months off The
entire ticket has not been announced
yet, but 1t is the understanding that
there will be two full tickets in the
primary.
The fight, of course. will be for May
or, and while there is no important
issue, except of a merely political ma
ture. there is now, just beneath the
surface, some hard work being done
on both sides Every one realizes that
the contest is going to be a very close
one, and the friends of each candidate
are down to work in earnest.
From all that it is poss BILE to gathe.
from the outside, the positions of city
attorney and chief of police, which,
under the city's charter. are appointivc.

We are going to do some
advertising.
Have only engaged a
small space, 50 cannot Go
mueh exploiting in certain
directions, but our aim will
be to tell the people from
time to time, as to our
goods, the styles, grades
and prices. Nj. Pope has
asked me to write this INF

say It Is my desire to have
the truth written and not
to deviate one particle
therefrofn, not even allow
ing any one to surmise
differently from what is the
actual fact.
1t shall be my endeavor
to have nothing printed
but what the other dealers
will acknowledge to be
true, then we can do no
harm.
1t is also desired that
whereas the help shall be
diligsnt in having goods
shown properly, to let 1t
end there, so that those
entering may feel free to
come as often as they like
without having to make
embarrassing explanations
as to the why's and where

they may have seen or ex-
