Time For Action
The deadline for filing candidates for the office of city
councilmen and mayor is September 22. By late yesterday lit
tle interest in the coming election was in evidence about town.
The Progressive Party, a group of business and profes
sional men in town, get together each year to select candi
dates and the Labor Party also holds a caucus. However, no
pre-election rumblings have been heard.
The Progressive Party plans to meet Wednesday but
late yesterday the place where it will hold a meeting was in
doubt. It was erroneously reported Thursday that the meeting
would be held at the USO Club. Elliott Hymans, USO director,
was not consulted before the announcement was made. Later
he said the regulations of the USO would not permit the hold
ing of political meetings in the club.
Kodiek residents are notoriously apathetic about going
to the polls but are strong on finding fault with their public
officials. If you fee! that a change in the city administration
is due or if you are dissatisfied with it, make yourself known
and ui’ge your candidate to file for office.
A mayor, three councilmen for two-year terms, and one
for a one year term will be elected in October. Check and see
if your candidate has filed for office.
