MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
 WINS GREAT VICTORY
Former Telegraph Operator, Chosen for Mayor, FavOrs City. Owned
 Light Plant-

Fort Smith, April 14.-Municipal ownership won a great victory when J. H. Wright and his running mate" T. A. Bayley and M. J. Smith were elected mayor and commissioners, re- spectively in the recent Fort Smitn city election. The Wright adminis- tration favors a municipal electric plant which the citizens have been denied through the influence of tha local traction company and it's allied interests.
 Wright started in life as railway telegraph operator. Fo~ several years he was president of the Arkansas Central railway and as such was the youngest railroad president in the United States. He resigned his po- sition to become president of the Fort Smith, Subiaco and Eastern railway, which is building a line from Scran. ton to Dardanelle, Ark He is mem- Der of the Fort Smith-Van Buren Bridge commission which compelled the Fort Smith Light and Traction company to pay a monthly rental for using the tax payers three-quarter of a million dollar steel bridge that connects Fort Smith and Van Buren.
 A previous commission gave the company a 45 year franchise free of charge. Citizen took the franchise to court and the supreme court de- clared it was illegal.
