Wonder About Sheridan
Local residents are wondorins
Il the absence OF Burgess John
Sheridan, democratic candidate for
warden, from the board Of warden
and burgesses meeting Tuesday has
some significance. The burgess has
not attended the special meeting
IN APRIL which was open 10 the
public or the Anal special meet:
ing at which reporters were barred.
There are some who think sher-
idan aid not want to bet embreiied
IN any personal disputes before
election and they give this 40 O
reason for his absence Tuesday.
Business reasons were advanced by
the burgess for his absence AZ tho
affairs.
However, Burgess Sheridan has
missed so few meetings IN his ca
reer az Q burgess that his actions
are causing comment.

simple process of voting straight

the lever on the person whom he
wants to cut and pulling down q

spending with that position, on
which he can write In the name Of
the person he wants to vote for.
Reports had It that Henry Free
man, Democratic candidate for the
board Of education, might be cut
In favor OF James Leary, who last
year ran as progressive for this
position, but who IL not In the race
this year. However unless present

the borough election draws near.

Democratic party. II Ii felt that
Warden Whittemore IL not AZ
strong this year as he was last.
Democrat workers in the first
ward are planning to turn out AZ
largo vote Of their supporters as
they can. Many feel that the sizo OF
the democratic plurality IN this
ward, which Ia usually q buiwark
OF strength for the democrats, will
determine the ultimate outcome OF
the battle.
Democrats feet tho candidate for
warden; John Sheridan, will cut
considerably into normal the re-
publican majority In the third
ward. Some claim he will help TO
swing the third ward democratic.
However this hope seems extrava-
CANT 70 many.
New Vote Important
Tho new vote, with more than
400 new voters registered, Will be
felt mainly In the second ward, Il

new vote. Progressives also claim
their share.
The Progressive vote IL not OK.

lost faith in the progressive party
