It will be remember- ed that Mr. Shrite was elected Bur- gess of this borough, defeating one f the best and truest Republicans that ever stepped up to a poll in Mr. John W. Eshleman, thus giving you an idea of his political strength in town. His business bringing nim in close contact with so many oi the rural folks, there should be something doing in the townships also. The main fight here, seemingly, ic centered wpon the treasurership. Mr. H. C. Schock of this place, has been circulating a petition the past few weeks and since the Intelligen- cer thinks he has been ‘‘picked” to be the candidate, there is plenty as- tir. Mr. M. S. Bowman, an ex-Bur- gess, has expressed a willingness to be a candidate against Mr. Schock. A committee of Keystoneites waited Mr. Brwman a few days ago and it has heen settled that he will pe 1heir choice, and combined with his approval, clinches the bargain With Mr. Bowman and Mr. Schock opposing each other, this will make a very bitter contest. We quote the following from the Intelligencer relative to the treasur- ership: “John F. Heintish, Dr. E. H. Wit- mer and numerous others were can- tes for treasurer, Harry C. , of Mt. Joy, was selected for pce. He was not known to be Hate, but he had the pull and bne of the best of the coun- k., He is not known as a s worker for the machine selection is not a popular ontinued on Page 4.) 0 this upon what | Howard and far wegther on that tev.
