BILE ANNOUNCE.
Just who will and who will not be
in the running and the turn-about
that municipal politics will take this
year remains to be seen, but with can
didates announcing and other pros
pective candidates both for mayor and
aldermen under discussion, local pol
itics are at least growing very inter-
esting. 1t is now expected that the
wind-up will find numbers of candi-
dates for mayor and the three places
on the aldermanic board.
1t is a generally known fact that
Mayor Gordon Jones will be a candi-
date to succeed himself His an
1Rouncement will probably appear in
Wednesdays issue of the Dispatch.
Judge Max E. Land is pretty gen
didate for mayor. In an interview
saturday morning Judge Land said:
81 am personally not DESTROYS of
holding any office, as office holding of
any kind has no attraction to me and
the charm that it once had has dis
appeared. By this, however, / do not
mean to say to my friends and fellow
citizens that l would refuse to hold
an office in the city of my home if I
should become impressed that a de-
mand was so strong that I would not
be a good citizen in my community,
and willing to perform any public du-
ty which the occasion might demand.
l feel that every man who cares for his
home town should at all times be will
ling to do his best to cooperate with
his fellow citizens for the best interest
always, even if it should mean sacrifice
and a lack of personal desire on his
part, if duty appeared to demand,
81 will always construe the situa-
ton to be that am not needed unless
there is such a popular demand for
{ervice, and the movement so strong
on the part of the citizenry that no
one who listens could fail to hear. 1t
is entirely matter for the citizens to
say who they want to serve them, and
l. will never feel hurt if public office
never comes my way
C. L. Mcmillan is being strongly
pressed by his friends to enter the
mayoralty race, and he has assurance

commit himself on the subject. Il
have no idea, just at this time, whether
