Linked Self With Ants
During the campaign Mr.. Russo,
piqued by the refusal of the organ
zation to approve his candidacy,
linked himself with the "antis."
He felt, according to friends, that
the Democratic County organiza-
ton should have approved both him
and Mr.. Newhouse, and permitted
the fight to become merely a vote
duel at the polls.
The campaigns of the two men
were based on party and Office rec
ords and did not deal in personal
tiles.
Mr. Newhouse, hardware mer-
chant, lives in Cumberland. He has
been a member of the Marion Coun-
ty Council. During his present ten
ure of Office he urged on every &C.
casion the reduction of government
