Present Incumbent
Popular and Has
Made Fine Record

Interest that promises 10 over
shadow the mayoralty contest IN
August is developing in the night
between County Clerk Thomas +.
Farrell and Sheriff Milton Oakman'
who is opposing his reelection. Both
| these politicians have a large foi-
| lowing OF friends, both personal and
| political. and both are hard cam
paigners and good fighters. The
most interesting feature TO date In
the Farrell Oakman fight is the
many ramifcations ii has in city as
well as county Offices.
Mayor Marx. for years a personal
friend of Farrell and closely allied
with him politically. has broken
with the county clerk because OF the
entrance OF Milton Oakman into the
fight. Although the mayor has op-
posed Oakman in factional fights on
more than one occasion. a personal
friendship has remained between the
two. Al the outset of the Farrell

The 2piit between the mayor and

ing position. They want to be loyal
to the machine. and still they figure
they are personally obligated TO
support Farrell. In the county both
Farrell and Oakman have well or

Oakman is campaigning day ana

a different way. The county clerk
is a unique campaigner. He doesn't
