Six Condidotes
for Commission

Mount Clemens voters, DEM
onstrating but a trickle of their
potential flood of strength, on
Monday went to the polls and.
by margin of 1913 votes, de-
feated the highly controversial
city manager plan. The tally:
"Yes"-694; "No"-822.
At the same time the voters
gave an impressive indication OF
the possible support grouped
about both mayoralty candi-
dates; Wagner, 988; Westendorf,
6S7.
In the six man contest for two
city commission vacancies two
men, Ulysses Bouley and Donald
B. Chapman, were eliminated
leaving the following four high
scorers opposed for the April 2
finals:
Guy Verkler-962.
Lawrence Oehmke-651.
Thomas G. Longstaff-608.
Angelo Fisher-351.
Bouley and c h a p man re-
ceived 348 and 222 votes respec-
lively.
John Miller, unopposed for
nomination as constable, re-
-ceiued 1882 votes.
With total of but Ito votes
cast out of city registration OF
$500 the general public showed
a pronounced apathy toward the
supposedly red-hot city manager
proposal.
The real highlights of the
contests for nomination ap-
peared to center on the strength
demonstrated by Verkler in his
first bid for public office and in
the IA per cent plurality piled
up by Albert A. Wagner in his
drive to unseat Mayor Donald
r. Westendorf, for the past IL
years the municipalities chief
executive.
Westendorf and Longstaff, for
IA and one-half years city
commissioner, have in the past
proved to be dangerous running
mates and have, heretofore,
stood well near the top of cleo
ton scores.
