The political pot is beginning to boil in Bloomington again. There being an election in November for new city officers. The race for mayor is to be an exciting one, and factions among each party are going around with “butcher knives” mp their sleeves, ready to knife up that “gang over there.” The republicans have their convention Sept. 2nd and will nominate Sam Kerr for mayor—but the sure winner would have been W. A, Fulwider but he refused to accept the nomination. The democrats are getting busy and so sure are they that they will elect a democratic ticket this time, that they are falling over one another trying to get the nominations. Verily this is to be a rough and tumble campaign and each party will be calling the other everything from “highway robbers to boot leggers.”
