Politicians are having hard time
to interest voters in the election.
The excitement which has marked
former municipal elections appears
to be lacking although many of the
old time groups are in the field with
their candidates. Although the sur
face is placid, there appears to be
plenty of discussion and action be-
meath. The voters are shying away
from the old time leaders and are
doing. their own talking.
Up to one week ago, it appeared
that Mayor Malzahn would probably
be reelected but 1t seems that his
stock has. taken decided drop since
the Marin murder. It appears to
be the general opinion that he Is now
q weak candidate. The present adj
ministration was severely scored at
ter the shooting and the voters seem
to be hesitating about approving
the present state Of affairs.
The large number of candidates
looking for election as Judge Of mu-
nicipal court precludes any possible
ty Of q prophesy Of the winner. The
present judge was appointed by the
governor at the death Of H. w. Ball
ey, former Judge, and wishes an In
dorsement Of his administration. l..
g. Pendergast was Justice Of peace be
fore the Office Of municipal Judge
was created. "A. NJ. Crowell is at
present court commissioner and was
a.candidate for county attorney. The
other candidates are practicing attor-
.neys.
The election will be held February
