LABoRER's WIFE FOR
MAYOR OF TOPEKA

Topeka, Kan, March 24.-The mu-
nicipal campaign that ended today
has been the most exciting that To-
peka has experienced In many years.
Tomorrow the voters will engage in
a primary to determine the candi-
dates to be voted for at the coming
city election. The interest Of the pub
lie is confined almost wholly to the
mayoralty race, in which woman
is striving to win the nomination
against four candidates Of the sterner
sex. The woman is Mrs May Taylor.
She is the wife Of a laboring man,
and before her candidacy for mayor
was unknown to Topeka people.
At the beginning Of the campaign
the politicians were inclined to treat
Mrs. Taylor's candidacy as a joke,
But they soon awakened to the fact
that she was putting up a very seri
Gus fight and that the joke might be
on them when the primary ballots
were counted. Mrs. Taylor is making
strong bid for the vote Of the work

This is important.
