Campaign Nearing Close, but
Little Interest Is Being
Shown.
Manchester Bureau, Times.Dispntcr.
No. l10g Hull Street.


With only three weeks intervening
there seems to be little interest In IN
campaign, with the exception of TIL
fight for the mayoralty. in which TIL
incumbent, H. A. Maurice and L. T.
Brown are pitted against each other.
The contest for Mayor will be on,
of great Importance, and, in fact, vii
be closer than many people realize. i
is understood that Mr.. Maurices OPP
ponent has made inroads upon his ad.
versary.
Mayor Maurice has held Office for if-
teen years, and has friends by the
score here. His campaign is being
conducted quietly, and he has the sup.
port of some OF the most influential
voters in the city. His administration
has not as yet been attacked, and no
one has ever openly criticized his ac-
tons officially
Much talk has been circulated con-
corning the probability of theS Joint
debate between the two candidates for
Mayor, but nothing In that connection
has as yet been arranged The citi-
zens generally are favorable to such
meeting. Up to this time there have
been no new candidates mentioned forl
the Board or Assembly
TO Erect Sunday school.
The congregation of Fifth Street NJ
h. Church have found it necessary toI
erect a Sunday school building imme- !
diately, owing TO the crowded condi- /
tons in the present school. The con- |
tract for the erection of the building
I has been awarded to Mr.. Eli Andrews,
and is to be completed within four
months.
The building will be located on the
corner of Ninth and Decatur Streets,
and will be erected at cost of about t
$1,000. 1t will adjoin the site of the
proposed new church, which will be
erected within the next year or so.
