Much Intreest Manifested In Race
For Recorder; and In
Marshal Race

The stage is all set, 'neverything
for the big city election on tomorrow
Saturday, April End, 1921.
On the executive ticket, the out
come seems to a one-sided affair
an overwhelming victory for the Pro-
gressive ticket headed by j. r. Rison,
Jr for mayor, and c. B. Alden, L. E.
Leach, and W. T. Warren, Jr., candi-
dates for aldermen.
The platform of these gentlemen
has been before the people now for
nearly two months, and it has been
greeted with much applause and APP
proval. Not one individual section
of this platform has been criticised,
neither constructively or suggestively.
1t seems to meet the general approv-
al oil the people of Paris, and partic-
ularly concerns those who are pro-
gressive and who want to see the city
pulled out of the old rut and enter
upon new era. The people of
Paris seem determined to assert them
selves accordingly, and from indica-
tions on the eve of the election there
will be tremendous vote to express
such sentiment, opposed only by a
small coterie of political grouches and
their avowed followers, right or wrong
This opposition is variously esti-
mated at from an aggregate of 100
In to+o IN
2ast. Just what the vote polled will
be cannot be even approximately es-
imated under conditions existing,
and especially considering the fact
take a hand in a municipal election.
1t is said they are, however, of one
Accordion progressiveness and eff
cheney. There were 272 additional
voters registered in the supplement-
airy registration March 10-11-12, and
this is most extraordinary supple
mental registration and evidently
spells that the people are interested,
and could only be interested in seeing
the progressive ticket through, be-
cause at the time OF the registration
there was only one complete ticket in
the field.
Other than the executive ticket in
the field, there are t No candidates for
city recorder. Fred D. Bryant is pit
ted against John S. Dunlap. Both
men are we'll known here, and have
laid their claims before the people.
In the race for city marshal the
ballot will show N e. Breedlove, H.
E. Butler and ]. d. Phillips. This
seems to be the most interesting con-
test in the entire election, and much
speculation on the final outcome, some
contending that one OF the candidates
will get more votes than the other
two put together.
There will be two election precincts,
the one in the basement of the court
house with entrance on the West side
and exit out through the East side.
The other precinct will be in the
hotel building on Depot street. The
polls will open at nine o'clock in the
morning and close at four in the
afternoon. 1t is estimated the count
will be completed in the second pre-
cict by six o'clock, and in the first
precinct by 8 o'clock.
The following will be in charge of
the election. Precinct No. 1: w. 7.
Porter, officer; J. N .Bushart, w. e.
Gatlin, F. e. Johnson, judges Fl. w.
Morton and Doy Green, clerks. Pre-
cinct No. q Homer Snow. officer;
Tink Stewart, E. E.. Bostick, Burrell
Jones. officers; Fred Dinwiddie and
Robert Ramsey, clerks.
