 She shook her head, lingering the little silver bracelet.

OF course, it might DE a lot of
canal water. but I'm told that a
former City Official will rise up
in the next City Election and
challenge the leadership of the
HON. Mayor Richard Sweeney,
and his followers. If this report
is correct, then the battle should
be interesting indeed. According
to my informant, the former Off
ciaI has already tentatively Sc
lected his slate of candidates for
the City Council, and, to show
that he amt foolin', he, in at
least two instances, has suggest
ed to these candidates that they
move into designated wards
where ne believes they will have

ing through with flying coIors.
TWO have already complied, I'm
told, and before many moons will
