D. P. R. Isenberg for Mayor, A. F.
Judd for County Attorney, w. T. Raw
for Treasurer is the latest slate, the
hearing of which has started the buzz

in the last election as the result of
knitting. I think Charley Achi showed
up as the best of them all in that
campaign. He came out openly and
told Brown he would work against him,
but some of the other leaders knitted
him in the back. I don't want any OF
