The Bethlehem Steel Company is
wasting a lot of mighty good post
age, taking us daily into its conf
dence as to it's armor plate business,
and assuring us that this is no time
for the government to establish an
armor plate plant of its own. Then.
there is the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association which
sends us a fat letter or two every
day, in the hope that some of its
stuff may get into print. And there

The supreme court has affirmed

is expressed that this man, who ap-
parently is devoid of feeling, must
pay the penalty for what seems to
have been one of the most fiendish
crimes ever perpetrated in this State.

RENEWED INTEREST
IN CITY POLITICS
Resignation and Withdrawal From
Race Of Clerk FurIOw Causes
FIurr-A New Entry.

From an apparent state of leth-
argy and inactivity in the main
which has been noticeable for sew
eral weeks, city politics livened up
and took on considerable ginger
and "pep" Saturday, as soon as il
was learned that A. B. Furlow,
present incumbent and candidate
for reelection, had resigned from
the duties of his Office as well as
withdrawing from the race to ac-
cept a permanent position with the
First National Bank as bookkeep-
er.
Mr.. Furlow, who has given gen.
eral satisfaction, both to the board
and to the public, and was serving
on his second term of Office, was
considered one of the strong men
| in the race, and his sudden with
drawal and resignation, to take
effect April l, created a ripple
among local politicians that has
caused the political bee to buzz
about this office as well as the
others ever since, it being the con-
sensus of opinion at the time that
his withdrawal left the race be-
tween ]. B. Hardy and Chester
Byrne.
Such opinion, though, proved on
Monday not to be the case, Mr.. F.
A. Cameron having on the day
previous paid over to Ticket Com
missioner w. H. Seavey thesneces-
sary wherewith to have his name
printed on the tickets also as
candidate for clerk.
Due to- the fact that the City
Executive Committee had set Sat
urday night at 8 O'Clock as the
limit any one could get his name
on the ticket for the April elec-
tions special meeting of the COM
mittee was called to decide on the
advisability of entering Mr.. Cam
eron's name after the date set.
After considerable discussion at
the gathering as to whether the
committee had power to set the
time more than 80 days prior to
the election for the elimination of
contestants, it was mutually agreed
to leave the matter to decision
from Attorney General Ross Col
Inns, who ruled that Mr.. Cameron
had entered his name within the
necessary 80 days time specified
by the Code and the committee ac-
cordingly allowed it to be placed
on the ticket.
In the meantime, Mr.. Furlow,
having assumed his duties with the
bank, it is understood that the
Board of Aldermen will appoint
one of its members to act in the
capacity of clerk and that follow
ing the primaries the nominee of
the people will fill the position
made vacant by resignation.
