Crabtree, who recently successfully conducted campaign for municipal ownership of the water works system. He is now running on a municipal ownership plat form. The primary election will prob ably be held on September 17.
 All three of the daily papers have lined up in the campaign. The morning paper will support Mayor Frierson for reelection. One of the afternoon pa pers will do likewise, while the other afternoon daily Is supporting Colonel Crabtree, who is a newspaper man. A series of joint debates between the two candidates has been suggested.
