Interesting Fights In Elm Grove and
Fulton, With Promise Of More
Interest BY Election Date.
The annual election. at which time
the voters of the out-the- Pike district
VIII elect officers for the coming year,
VIII be held in the different towns
on January Z. So far indication are
that the elections In each OF the towns
viii be close. as In each instance the
ticket is composed OF good and eff
Gent men for the different offices. In
several OF the towns. there Is no prin-
cipd issue al stake. while in others.
matters are taking on a different head
and indications are that a hot fight
will be waged. In several OF the
places a large majority of the voters
were chosen to run for different offices
but in many instances they have with
drawn their names and in some places
have left barely enough to make a
complete ticket.
In Triadelphia. matters are running
along practically as in former years, as
there Is no big issue at stake and only
enough candidates were named TO fill
the offices of council. The mayor
and recorder OF this town are elected

as to offices for these offices will be
necessary.
At Patterson as is always the case.
a hot fight is being waged. and as yet
II is impossible to ascertain Just who
the candidates will be. At the meeting
held In the latter part OF November.
enough names were suggested to fill
the different Offices several times.
Since that time. however. a number OF
o suggested. have their
intentions of Withdrawing their names
and as IL stands at present. there does
not seem to be a full ticket in the
field. However a number OF those
who were suggested as candidtes have
not conferred with the proper authori-
ties and their anne still remain on
the list. More trouble seems to have
arisen over the office of mayor for the
town. for out OF nine candidates that
we're suggested, all have announced
their intentions OF Withdrawing. This
will probably necessitate the holding
OF another suggestion meeting within
the next few days. unless some of the
chosen candidates decide to remain.
At Elm Grove.
As usual the voters OF Elm Grove
seem 10 be taking considerable in.
terest and perhaps the hottest fight
OF the district will be waged in this
Owl The office for mayor seems
TO be b center OF attraction in Elm
Grove. as IL is practically the only
office In the town where a real fight
Is being waged. For this office. two
well known residents OF the town are
one the ticket. They are Lester Yer
million and William Sisson. The Of
flee of recorder also promises 10 be
closely contested. as the present re-
corder. +. D.. Nickerson. will be op-
posed by J. +. Warden.
As in former elections the voters OF
Pleasant Valley seem to be taking
matters easy. At their suggestion
meeting. held several days ago. Mr..
Jess A. Bloch inc Col. Robert White
were chosen to oppose each other
for he office of mayor. while for re-
corder. Frank G.. B%rockhardt and JOS
eph Straub. were named as candi-
dates. Only five counciImen were
suggested and as five are to be elect
ed. there Is little chance for a fight
in this direction.
In Edgwood, the usual fight will
be waged. In this town the voters
seem TO be taking sides and the main
issue as in the past few years. will
be in connection with the street paw
Ing. IL will be remembered that about
a rear ago the Edgwood council
earnted a contract for paving TO a
firm at what was considered an ex-
horbitant figure and this aused much
trouble and finally ended in a law suit.
the decision of which Is still pending
IN he courts. For this reason the
voters will be split in two sections
and the fight promises to be a warm
one.
Woodsdale seems to be the only
town in which the voters are taking
but little interest in the election.
Here. as in former years only enough
candidates were named to fill the var
ious offices and no issue Is at stake.
At Fulton.
At Fulton. where last year the Turf
exchange caused much sensation and
caused matters TO warm up consider
ably about election time. there prom
Uses to be another fight in the coming
election. The issue this year is the
bond election for the erection OF n
new town hall. While many of the
voters favor the issue for this pur.
pose. IL seems that many Of them are
opposed TO II and are working TO de
feat the measure. In all likelihood Il
viii carry. as the town is in need OF
n meeting place for pubic meetings
and indications are thai the issue will
carry.
In all the towns the polls will open
at noon and close about $50 D. m.
