INTEREST IH FBEEPORT CEN¬ TERS IN TIE VILLAOE ELEC¬ TION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY. MABCH 21.
The village election in Freeport will be held on .Tuesday, March 21. Full provision w^s made for the elec¬ tion at the board! meeting Thursday afternoon. A village president and two trustees are to be elected to suc¬ ceed President Lamb and Trustees Bedell and E. S. Bandall.
The nominees of the People's party to succeed these menibers are; President, Ernest S. Randall Trustee. Franklin Bedell. Trustee, John H. Mahnken.
.\lthough there is an opposition ticket in the fleld headed by Albln N. Johnson, there seems to be very Uttle doubt but that the ticket headed by Mr. Randall will be swept into office by an overwhelming majority,
Mr. Randall Is eminently qualifled for the position. He has served as a trustee for several terms and during his entire service he has taken an ex¬ tremely active part in the conduct of the affairs of Freeport. His work In tiie making of the assessment maps is a notable example. His private life and business activities are above re¬ proach.
It Isn't bellevei that there is a per¬ son In Freeport fc'ho doubts for one single moment tnat Franklin Bedell will be re-elected by an overwhelm¬ ing majority. "Uncle" Frank, as his friends are wont to call lilm, has been faithful and true.
John H. Mahnken, although active¬ ly associated In business in New York City, where he holds a most responsi¬ ble position. Is "well known to the most of the cltisens of Freeport. He is a man of iMge business experi¬ ence, a maniof'ifi'Se.e&pabilitles and a man of sound buoine.^is judgment. Freeport wants a good, economical administration and John H. Mahnken is tho man to bank on.
