Both the weather and politics,
locally speaking, have been warm
ing up the past few days. Indica-
tions are that there will be candi-
dates aplenty for the county Off
ces, one or two indicating politi-
cal aspirations whose American
ism would not stand the test of
loyalty when the country was in
the throes of war.
