Board of Trade next Monday night, a
ticket will be named TO be voted for at
the municipal election to be held OH
! January 1st. Rumors are current that if
certain persons do not secure the nomi-
nation at the meeting that another ticket
will be placed in the field. There is
likely to be contest at the meeting of
the councilmen nomination, but not for
Mayor as the present incumbent, DR.,
James 7. Thompson is pleasing to the
voters. DR.. Thompson devotes nearly
all OF his time to the duties of the office.
and the high esteem in which he is held
by the people of Lewes is expressed by
ms election from year to year. DR.. /
Thompson devotes his time to the town S
affairs just as he would to private busi-
ness.

prominently mentioned for treasurer are
Peter A. Lank, Frank +. Johnson and
the present incumbent, William 7. Car
