TWO MORE DEMOCRATS OUT FOR MAYOR

The filings of Saturday brought out two
new candidates for the Office of mayor
from the ranks of the democracy. This
puts three candidates in the field for that
position and all from that party. The new
men were DR.. Thomas II. Ensor. and what
was really surprise to many people who
considered him out of the race, w. ii.
Bremen. 1t had been expected from the
first that DR.. Ensor would be candidate,
but not many were expecting Mr.. Bremen
to enter. This will make lively fighting
i'm the ranks of the democrat party, and
moreover It is likely that there will be
two or three others with aspirations to the
mayors chair. As yet none of the repub-
lican candidates has appeared for this
office. though w. p. Adkins is known to
intend filing. though he has not as yet
formally presented his name as candi-
date.
There we're several filings in other offices
and among them appears the name of w.
c. Lambert for the office of county at
torney AS such he has his present ad-
ministration to offer as his claim for public
support Thomas w. Lisec appears as
