THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

men higher up who control and op. , crate the machine" : Mr. Fenn is opposed to granting a bonus to ex-servicemen. Mir. Seymour
 himself a World War veteran, be-
 lieves that the adjusted compensation
 policy should be put through. He
 cannot be accused of fostering this
 plan through selfishness or desire to
 enrich his own pocketbook because
 he has his share of this worlds goods and the money he would receive through adjusted compensation would
 be as a grain of dust in the desert. Mr. Seymour is vigorous and fear less young man who is not afraid to cross swords with the Old Guard. Judging by the manner in which he has made a start, he intends to go through with his candidacy against MT. Tenn. News of his candidacy has been received with enthusiasm by men who served in the war although there will be some who are so subservient to the interests from which they get their bread and butter and which are favorable to the stand patters" that they can be expected to do all in their power to undermine MT. Seymour's candidacy.
 Political discussion locally centers around the candidate for mayor Of the republican party. The woods are full of timber; the problem is to get sound tree.
 Already names are being men, toned. Among them is that if E.. w. Christ, vice president and secretary of the Stanley Works, who has long been regarded as a mayoralty possi- pility. Whether he could overcome the prejudice of the masses against a manufacturer is open to conjecture even if he felt like sparing himself from his duties at the Stanley Works. Frederick NJ. Holmes, president or North & Judd Mfg. Co.,. has also been thought of. It is doubtful whether MT. Holmes would care to divide his interests. His heart is in building up the "Anchor Brand" factory and his inclination is said to be to keep it there.
 Dugald McMillan, a retired mer- chant, who was considered two years ago for the republican nomination, might be persuaded to accept this year if he could win the place with out a contest. Being retired from business. he could find plenty of time to devote to his responsibilities.
 Rev. John l.. Davis is also on the list. He is popular with hundreds of members of the Bible class. It would be a novelty in this city to have a minister running for office. No doubt Rev. Mir. Davis could make the cam | paign interesting and, if named and | his administration would be ! lively one.
 Although Mayor Paonessa has not publicly indicated his desire to seek reelection 1t is generally supposed that he can have the democratic nom- ination if he wants it. The opinion on the street is that he would be a hard man to beat. He has attended strictly to business. there have been no glaring faults in his management of the office and he can point to the fact that hel has kept the tax rate down and has finished the fiscal year with more than si0o,000 in the treas- lry. Those are strong arguments with the taxpayers.
