Town Election
The chief topic of discussion in
this section now is the annual town
election which takes place tomorrow
afternoon. About ten days ago cit
izens meeting was called by Town
Council and a ticket was made up
with nominees for all the places
that would be vacant, which includ-
ed two councilmen, alderman, trea-
surer, tax receiver and three assess
ors. Following the meeting it was
predicted that other tickets would
be in evidence on election day. Ru-
mors are now flying thick and fast I
and there may be several tickets in
the field. Efforts have been made to
locate the sponsors of the other tic
kets but they seem to be keeping
under cover, and reports given in
this story are gathered from rumOrs.
1t is said that former Representa-
tive George w. Swain will oppose
NJ. r. Adams for tax receiver; that
the present treasurer, w. Floyd Tur-
ner is a candidate for his job again
though he was not nominted at the
citizens meeting. At the present
time Mr.. Turner is connected with
the Peoples Bank and the funds of
the town are carried in the Peoples
Bank. Theodore H. Harrington, one
of the nominees for the job of trea-
surer is teller in the First National
Bank SHOULD he win the election it
is only natural to assume that the
bank in which he is employed will
fall heir to the town account. For
his reason it is said that S. l.. Sapp,
president of the Peoples Bank is
backing Mr.. Turner. Mr.. Sapp is al
so opposed to sewers; of course
own council can't build them, but
f they are favorable to the propo-
iition it will help very much. Ru- (
nor has it that former councilman,
=. G. Markert, has been placed on a
icket b oppose Mayor Adams for
ouncM Mr.. Markert when question
ID about the matter evaded the ans {
YER by saying he was looking for
he man who used his name on the !
icket without authority. He did say b
hat he did not want to run against
layor Adams and desiredut9 know n
What the opposition was to Mayor
ldams. Mr.. Markert is a former
having served two terms
n that body; served three terms as
member Of the school board and'is
past grand master of the Odd Eel "a
)ws.
