Well Known Banker

When George Dorn's father,
Peter Dorm, got group of men
together back in 1902, he started
something. That something is the
Farmers Bank of Sedalia which
is celebrating so continuous
years in the banking business at
a celebration party at the Sedalia
school on February II, Lincolns
birthday.
Mr.. George Dorm, a jovial man
who has just passed the 18th mile
stone on his road of life, was the
first cashier of the bank, being
elected to that position on Dec. 5,
1902. He earned the sum of $500
per year at that time. Mr.. Dorm
recalls "it was pretty good money
in those days. Charlie Kellough
taught school for $780,"
The first meeting for the pur-
pose of founding the bank was
held on October 13, 1902. Present
were Peter Dorm, w. T. Hewitt,
Allison Grim, w. S. Green, F. E.
Caldwell, John T. Vent, w. H.

Hottest In Years

Election clerk, Mrs. Gertrude
Gist, has had busy week as a
result of an unprecedented num-
Der of candidates filing for the

ons filed for London city offices
alone. Only five offices have un-
opposed candidates.
For the office OF Mayor of Lon
don, incumbent E. P. Speasmaker
CR) will be opposed by James V.
Shaw (R). This race is considered
the hottest" since it pits Lon
don's longtime mayor against a
comparative newcomer who has
been serving as Councilman for
two years.
A contest is also in prospect for
the city Treasurer's post. Incum-
bent j. E. Byers (R) has opposi-
ton in William F. Mcclure (R)
and Jack Phillips (R). Mcclure
is employed by the Jenkinson
Cleaners and Phillips is a teller at
the First National Bank here.
Wallace V. Nichols (R) is un-
opposed for the City Solicitors
post as is Harold H. Sparkling (R)

now serving in these posts at
present.

tests ever materializing. But this
year the large number of contest

campaigning. In several contests
some candidates have expressed

a result, observers are looking
upon the primary election with

Only One Primary
In County This Year

There will be only one Pri-
mary Election in Madison coun-
ty this year, so says Mrs. Ger
trude Gist, clerk of elections.
Mrs. Gist cited the regulation
which states in effect that in
either the Republican or Demo-
cratic party, where no candi-
dates oppose each other on the
same ticket, a primary election
will not be held. Thus, since but
one Democrat is listed in the
filings, no primary will be held
in that party. The Republicans,
on the other hand, have several
contests in the London City
election and, thus, primary
must be held, it was said.
