GEORGE A. ELLIOT
FOR MAYOR
His Friends Think That Ne
Would Make an Admir-
able Candidate

A boom is being started looking to
the nomination Of Colonel George A.
Elliot for the Republican nomination
foi Mayor of Wilmington. There has
been considerable talk Of late among
his friends about Colonel Elliot as a
candidate for Mayor, and his friends
believe that if nominated there would
not be the slightest doubt about his
election by large majority.
Colonel Elliot for many years has
been active in the Republican party,
but about the only office that he has
held was that of City Solicitor. Colonel
Elliot is regarded as a man very much
interested I'm the affairs of the city,
and il he consents to the use OF his
name a host of friends will turn in
and give him their hearty support
II is expected that the new Mayor
will have many important duties to
perform, and his friends look upon
Colonel Elliot as the man who should
be at the head of movement for the
progress of Wilmington. IL is highly
probable that Colonel Elliot will be
sounded" i'm a short time as to what
his personal feelings are in regard
to the matter, and there will be much
disappointment unless Colonel Elliot
decides to stand as a candidate.
