Mondays Election in An
Likelihood Will Result
in His Favor.
MAY Be FOR BLUE LAWS
Citizens Not Getting Very
Much Excited Over the
Campaign Issues.
By THE CORNER POLITICIAN.

BY THE CORNER POLITICIAN.
Mayor A. ]. Hess might just as we'll
polish UP his badge OF office and pin
it bit tighter on his coat front, for
in the opinion of this omnipotent OBJ
server of human affairs, he is to be
elected mayor Of Warrington at the
city election there Monday. Squire
T. B. Toothman, OF the Business Mems
party, is going to give him a pretty
ran for his money, and of course, may
win out, but hardly think so.
1t is being said that If elected, Mr.
Hess will start rigid enforcement of
the blue laws, which makes it an Of
fense to sell anything from newspa-
pers to ice cream and eating apples on
Sunday, but this is to be discredited.
Surely the good man will content him.
self with cleaning up some conditions
along the railroad which have been Of
tending good citizens of late. 1t Is
said that at times when the Wheeling
train pulls in the noise Of its approach
is drowned out by the clatter Of chips,
the chips being of the we'll known
poker variety.
Squire Toothman has lived long and
in the course OF. his years has develop
ed o senieiness ati3 forhnarance that
is-expected, to result In his being more
lenitent In his actions should he be
chosen the city's chief executive.
The citizens of the town are not
greatly worked up over the matter, be-
ing evidently resigned to accept what
fate has in store for them.
Except for mayor, there will be'prac-
tically no fight between the two par
ties. With the exception of men in
the Third and Fifth wards, councilmen
on both tickets are the same.
Probably the most startling feature
of the campaign so far is the coming
forth from political oblivion, where he
had last week voluntarily relegated
himself, of Attorney w. NJ. Hess. Mr..
Hess has decided that man would be
heartless who stood on the side lines
and listened to the cries OF a helpless
populace while all the time by the
mere signifying of his willingness to
become candidate for councilman in
the Third ward, their tribulations
might be happily brought to an end.
In other words Nelly Hess Is candidate
for councilman from the Third ward.
The first thing to come up after the
election has decided who shall pilot
the ship of state, will be meeting to de-
eide what Warrington shall have in
the way OF improvements, and how
much she can afford to pay for them.
1t is estimated that a bond issue of
from $3.50 900 to $500, 900 will be neces.
sary. A meeting is to be held at which
representatives from the communities
recently incorporated into the city will
tell TIL eneeds of their several locali.
ties, and at which some start rilay be
made for the campaign for the bond
issue.
The next few weeks is expected to
see the matter thoroughly threshed out
and the bond issue approved by the
voters. 1t is hoped to get work start
ed on water works and new sewer.
age system this summer.
But right at present things in Man
nington resolve themselves into Tooth
