TO 1)1:111)1 ) : ) :
ALPHA MORGAN TOR MAYOR
\V. A. George Has NVIIIicJrami a a
Candidate on Cili/ens Ticket and
Morgan Will Probably TaKe
His Place.
The city council at a meeting
held this week voted to submit
the question of whether or not
an electric light franchise shall
be granted to a vote of the
people. The council feels that a
question which elToccts the city
so vitally should not be decided
without giving- them a chance to
vote on it. If the people vote to
grant the franchise the support
given the company which gets it
should he better because it will
have the sentiment of the
people behind it and there will
be no chance for a man to sny
that he has not had a fair chance
n having his say as to whether
.he franchise should be granted.
The council committee is in
receipt of a letter which states
hat a franchise will be sent up
by John W. Earley of Columbus.
r Earley is now installing a
plant in Alliance.
W. A. George has withdrawn
as a candidate on the citizens
ticket for Mayor and it is proablc
that Alpha Morgan will' be. put-
on the ticket to fill the vacancy.
The vacancy is to beJllled by
ommitteetnan Purcell.
