Every town in the state will name
new officers at the spring election,
which comes on April 1 and consid-

Fruita is planning to have two

In Palisade there is little likeli-
hood of hard scrap. although John

may pull off their annual popularity
contest. 1t is Kluge's turn to win
this year, and he will probably do so.

gle ticket has been made up and
will probably not be opposed. 1t is
''wide-opeD" ticket, with Charles
l.. Loebnitz heading it for mayor.
Gunnison will probably have wet
and dry" election to vary the mo-
notony. and If so, two opposing tick
cts will be placed in the field.
New Castle can always be depend
ed upon for hard ticket. Usually
from three to five tickets are placed
in the field there. Last year an ALL
American ticket went down in defeat
because four of the nominees were
Italians, one was Austrian and the
sixth was a Swede.
