REGISTRATION FOR
■ ELECTION TO BEGIN
Books Open Tomorrow for
Municipal Balloting of
Tuesday, May 7
Registration books for the annual
city election will be opened tomor
row and wtll remain open for seven
days, not including Sunday, on thro
ugh Friday. April 26. On Saturday,
April 27, the books will t>e open for
examination and challenges, if any,
but not for registration.
Warning has been sounded to all
voters that the fart that their names
are on county registration books does
not qualify them for participation in
the municipal election, which will be
held on Tuesday, May 7.
It is expected there will be many
changes, due to transfers from one
ward to another or by new-eomers to
tin* city.
The fact that a mayor is to be
chosen for a two-year term will tend
to increase both the registration and
the interest in the cleciton. It always
does.
In addition to the choice of a mayor
one alderman from each ward will
he elected for two.year terms. One
alderman in each ward holds over
for another year and does not. come
up at this time.
Mayor Irvine B. Watkins is seeking
re-election, and Is opposed by Henry
T Powell, who is now closing bis
firs* term as a. member of the Coun
cil from the fourth ward. In the place
of Mr. Powell, the aldermanic office
in that ward is being sought by C.
M. Right. In the first ward J. W.
Gill is a candidate to succeed him
self. while P. C. Loughlin is also
reeking re-election in the second, as
ts Fred R. Right in the third ward
No contests have developed as yet
for aldermanic posts.
