The many friends of Mr.. E. G.
Rockwell are soliciting him to al
low the use of his name for mayor
at the spring election. If the office
of mayor and police judge is
separated, Mr.. Rockwell would
probably consent to the use of his
name. 1t will be a hard matter to
get any business man to consent
to become a candidate for mayor
unless the offices are separated
