Albert J. Archer, present commits
sioners, who are candidates for re-
election. Close followers of the cleo
tion are predicting that the four will
be well punched when the votes are
counted Monday night.
In the justice race, two brand new
candidates are seeking the office
which will be vacated by ID. L. John
son. They are Joseph L. Biggerstaff
and George II. Carl. The former,
who came here from Pennsylvania
some years ago, has had some legal
experience. Carl has been an Alma
resident for years and is fairly well
known, having been a real estate
dealer for some years.
The election Of Jesse +. Fuller in
the first ward. n. f. Saad in the sec
ond ward, Albert p. Cook in the third
