the political spotlight today are

son of the three cornered fight in
which Elwell S. Crosby, Rep,
Charles II. Cahill, Dem, and Louis

Rockland is accompanied by the an
nouncement from the Democratic
side that they are confident of win
ming hands down, and a Democratic
victory is anticipated in numerous
circles. For mayor, Reuben S.

ley who declined denomination, is
opposed by Silas F. Skillin, Demo-
crat. Interest runs high in this city
and contests are anticipated in sew
eral wards for other of the city Of
fees.
Perhaps the only other city where
interest is big is in Waterville Here
the interest is held by expectations
manifested on both sides that the
race for mayor would be a close one
