CITY ELECTION, TUESDAY, APRIL s.
Candidates for city offices will come
before the people in the city primary
election Monday, March 2S. in what
is regarded by veteran city politicians
as one of the most rnildly contested
city elections ever held.
! Except for the office of mayor. for
which there are four candidates. each
claiming considerable strength, the
city offices are not being sought with
develops pep" in the week between
the primary, and the city election,
April 5. the election will at
tract less interest than any in the
| history of the city. The character of
the contest is attributed by those who
have watched many city elections
both to the apathy of citizens over
civic matters and to the lack of fight
| ing inclination on the part of the can
didates. Except for the office of
finance commissioner. all candidates
flor the city commission are one-term
| men election.
| Total of 1883 Eligible to Vote.
| There are 1883 citizens eligible to
cast their votes in the city primary
and election, according to the official
total of registrants as made by Miss
Eta Covell, city clerk. The polling
places will open at o'clock Monday
morning and will close at Z o'clock
Monday evening.
1894 Voted in Last Primary.
| Voting places in the various pre-
cincts are listed below.
| In the city election two years ago
| 1861 persons were registered. OF
that number 1894 voted in the pri-
mary and 1O,442 voted in the election
! The vote is expected to be larger in
| this election with the increase over
the last city registration of more than
| four thousand. Interest in the No
vember election swelled the numbers
of registrants more than any interest
| in the city election, as new regiStra-
| tions since November have been less
| than one thousand. 1t is expected
that the vote in the election will be
approximately $4,000, but that the
vote in the primary will be consider
ably less than that number. Regis
tration books closed March II to re-
main closed until after the election.
/ No Public Meetings.
1t is possible that interest will
quicken in the city contest next week
So far the campaign has been speech.
less" No public meetings have beer
held. 1t is intimated by candidate:
that several meetings will be held mex
