TOWNS OF COUNTY WILL
HOLD ELECTIONS.
cLEMoNs AGAIN 10
THE ONLY EXCEPTION
Election Two Years Ago Was Forgot
ten and Election Was Held Year Ago
Contests on at st. Anthony and
Laurel-Bond Issue to Be Consider
ed at State Centsr-1he Tickets.

Ten of the eleven Incorporated towns
Of the county will hold their biennial
elections mex, Monday, March 80. The
only exception is that OF Clemens,
which occupies unique position in the
state of Iowa for towns Of its class.
The question of whether or not the po-
sition is a legal one, seems not to have
been raised.
Two years ago, when incorporated
towns held elections. Clemens forgot
all about an election. Because ii was
FORGOTTEN. an election was held yea
later. in 1918, when Iowa towns are not
supposed TO elect officers. Now be-
cause the election was held last year.
no preparations have been made for an
election this year, according to W. J.
Clemens, who is acting as mayor thru
election by the council.
In March, 1913. Albert Christensen
was elected mayor of Clemens. About
six weeks ago he resigned, and MI.
Clemens, the preceding mayor. and
member OF the council, was elected TO
fill the unexpired term.
