Mayorality, Aldermanic
Contests Promise Warm
Scrap for a Few Days
Fifteen Contestants Enter
Field With Four to be
Elected Tuesday.
CHARTER ON BALLOT
Much Opposition to New
Document Shown by
Taxpayers.

With the close of filings at the Office
of City Clerk Knutson on Saturday
afternoon at 500 o'clock, the names
OF fifteen candidates were on the list
for the election next Tuesday.
The filings for Mayor included Jack
Peshel, John A. Harri, Frank Schwei-
ger and Robert c. Ellis.
The filings for the three Aldermanic
positions to be filled are eleven in
number and are: John ]. Mattila, Ar
thur A. Nyman, Martin Skala, Jr..
Steve Moravitz, Joseph Spreitzer, Jr.,
Alex Lobe, Ernest A. Dargis, Mike
Marines, Anton Poljance, John J. Sla-
bodnik and Emil Kantola.
According to those who are keeping
their fingers on the political pulse of
the city, the ticket is somewhat
scrambled and no gueSSes are voueh-
safed as to the outcome on Tuesday
next.
At a meeting of the Slovenian-Amer-
lean Club held on November Is, Jack
PeShel was endorsed for Mayor and
Alex Lobe and Martin Skala, Jr., re-
ceived the majority vote at the meet
Ing for Aldermen. The following Sun
day, the Club met again and it is un-
derstood the endorsements were re-
pudiated and the field declared open.
In previous years, the nominated
ticket was unanimously accepted by the
members of the club and this is why
prognasticators fail to pick the win
ners as the failure to endorse it is
said have caused several more to shy
their hats into the ring for a free-for-
all battle at the polls.
Jack PeShel, candidate for mayor is
a member of the Ely police force and
served as street commissioner two years
ago.
John A. Harri has served the CITY
as mayor on two previous occasions

VI.
Freed from the cares of state,
Britain's former king. relaxed and
philosophically sat around Enzes-
field Castle today and expounded
his views on love. marriage, di-
vorce and the loveless alliances so
often made between European rul-
ing families.
Perhaps his thoughts were caus-
ed by a number of letters just
received through his friend, Lord
Brownlow. from Mrs. Wallis War
field Simpson. his bride-to-be.
According to the United Press
informant. Edwards sentiments,
which may furnish material for
future historians of the British
royal house, were that. to a real
man, anything is preferable to a
loyeless marriage Edward is said
TO have used the phrases stud
farm" and dog kennel in his dis
cussion of what the French call
marriages of convenience"
Such marriages. the former king
B reported to have told his friends,
are immoral and unnatural disas-
trous both to dynasties and indi-
viduals.
His attitude toward Mrs. Simp-
son, Edward was said TO have de-
scribed as the nearest approach
To holiness which had ever entered
his life, comparable to his feeling
toward the Queen Mother Mary
when he was child.
Edward held that frankneSs, and
honesty in high places, even from
a cold, detached point of view,
were more expedient and better
policy that hypocrisy for the sake
of appearances.
He considers the attack of the
Archbishop of Canterbury and 9TH
er church dignitaries on his abdi-
cation and his plans TO marry
Mrs. Simpson as only dana ging
TO the institution which they rep
resent.
