MUNICIPAL ELECTION

Gauged by the apathy shown with respect to the nicipa election in Seward bids fair to resolve itself into
 matter of exclamation With less than two weeks inter- venng before election day there apparently interest being manifested nobody shyng their hat into the ring and few registering Barely dozen citizens have placed their signature the registration books
 Such situations expressive of the general good times in the city, when practically everyone has his own immediate business to attend to- It may be necessary to go forward with vigilance committee with mandatory powers to drag forth the bushing voets of political cety and force them to accept the honors of governing Seward for another year.
 There are many important matters in connection good men are needed There plenty of them both in the Council and among those who have not yet felt de- sire for the spotlight But it appears that someone will be compelled to drag them from their bedroom slippers and steam heat.
