HaTdesty Re-nOminated Mayor of
Loeb Lynn Heights


various municipal offices Of Loeb
Lynn came to a peaceful close Mon
day night. For the past ten days
the village cracked with charges
and counter-charges and for time
it looked as though an unpleasant
situation might develop at the citi-
zens' meeting. In fact, the Mayor
had appointed and sworn in two
special officers to uphold the peace
and dignity of the town, but they
were not needed.
The Aid Hall was stuffily damned
with voters of both sexes and on
Cookers, when the meeting was called
to order by the Mayor. Lincoln Calls
was called to the chair as permanent
chairman and Mrs. G. 0. Sweitzer
was elected secretary. The speech
of acceptance of the chairman, deal
5ng principally with praise of the
present councilmen for their good
roads program, and with technoc-
racy, was both opposed and criti-
cized. But debate was cut off by a
motion to have the address printed
IN the county papers.
The meeting Immediately got
clown to business and nominated the
present incumbent, Mr.: C. E. Har-
desty, and Mr.. George Brown, for
mayor. A remark made by one Of
the speakers drew forth heated
reply from Hardesty but the incident
passed and a vote taken. AS the
tabulation of the vote proceeded it
was apparent that the well-oiled
Hardesty machine was in good work
ing order. and the final result showed
shat he had won over Mr.. Brown by
a vote Of so to 40. Mr.. Brown i'm
nlediately arose and in few we'll
chosen remarks, graciously con-
graduated his late opponent.
Next came the nomination Of three
candidates for councilmen. Mrs.
SalIie Burch, Ollie Sweitzer, B. W.
Harvey, Robert Ford, and H. NJ.
Weeks were placed on the ticket and
the voting began. The final tabula-
zion disclosed that Sweitzer ran like
a startled deer. From the time he
broke cover he maintained a lead
shat landed him as top-hand with a
score of SO. The runner-up was Ben
Harvey with 40 and then H. Nj.
Weeks with a AZ, which gave SWEET
ger and Harvey the two-year term
and Weeks will have to be satisfied
with one year.
Floyd White received the nomina-
zion for treasurer and collector; Mil
cred Ford as clerk, and Claud Paul
s2s bailiff.
The tail feathers of the early rob-
ms were somewhat ruffied by the
E.igh wind on Tuesday. But at that
yhey seemed to be in high good
mumor and evidently believe that
spring is just around the corner. We
will agree with them when we find
the odoriferous skunk cabbage and
:ha delicate hepatica in bloom.
Pedestrians and motorists were
gnuch heartened by report that Gin
Qiers will soon be spread on the roads
and crossings of the Park. The al
most constant rains and freezing
haven't done them bit Of good and
a top dressing will be welcomed.
The Baltimore Conference of the
Epworth League has fixed its meet
ing this year for July II to "a. But
we are not advised that the Park will
be the place of meeting.
