TOWN ELEcTIoN.
Mayor and Three Aldermen to BE e.
lected EARLY in December.

There seems to be little interest in
the approaching town election which
takes place early IN December. There
are four places to be filled on the
board Of mayor and aldermen. A may
or and three aldermen are to be elect
ed.
Since there is little probability Of a
party meeting to make nominations,
1t will be necessary for each person
who expects TO be candidate at that
election to have a petition with fifty
qualified electors presented to The
town election commissioners fifteen
days before the date Of the election.

IN AMAZING exposition OF war graft and waste
u coupled with a powerful arrangement of the
Democratic administration, which was responsible
Tor it. and an explanation as to why the department
of justice since March A, 1921, has not been able
to bring war ~grafters to book, was made by Repre-
sentative Graham of Illinois on the floor of the
house. Mr.. Graham is especially qualified to
speak knowingly on this subject because he was a
member of the special house commission which in
vestigated the expenditures of the war department.
Speaking in reply to the Democratic queries as to
why the department of justice under Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty had not initiated any prosecutions
of alleged war ~grafters, stated that when the sub
Ject of war graft and waste was being investigated
by a special house committee "the Democratic mi.
nority in every instance filed minority reports and
did everything they could to obstruct investigation
and prosecution. When we put our finger on some
scalawag who had defrauded the government and
ought to have been prosecuted the minority came
