City Election

ALREADY the sands of
time trickling through
Newark's political hour
glass are indicating the ap-
proach of another munich
pal election.
Next fall voters will be
called upon to chose a may
or, president of council,
nine councilmen, one for
each of the six wards and
there councilmen-at-large a
city solicitor, city treasurer
and city auditor.
Soon the political organi-
,~zations which take an in
terest in city affairs will
announce their candidates
and a struggle will begin to
entice the wary voter into
this or that group.
There will be some
whoopla and froth in an
effort by leaders to start up
the emotions of the elector-
ate. Dust will be thrown
in the air with the hope
that some of it will fall in
the eye of citizen-voters.
Confusing and conflicting
statements will be made.
Charges and counter
charges will be hurled by
candidates and their sup
porters.
Out of it will come a
group of officials who dur
ing the following two years
will do the best they can to
manage the affairs of the
city properly and economic
ally.
= They will not be perfect,
but they will be the choice
of the people. That is the
American way and up un-
til now it has worked very
well.
