Show Their chief antagonists will be George A. Davis and T. A .Callister. to to to T. W. Whiteley, a Kearnsite, and Jack Sharp, who Is working strenuously for Odell for mayor, are expecting to win easily in the Fourth. Incidentally Inci-dentally Mr. Sharp has grand ambitions and will expect to be president of -the council if he is reelected. re-elected. W. C. Spence will be a candidate for re-election, on the strength of his great record as one of the Eight Immaculates, and Mont Ferry, Mr. Higham and Hy Nelson will contest for coun-'Cilmanic coun-'Cilmanic seats. 3 In the Second E. D. Blackmoor -and B. F. Redman will be launched on the Kearns barge for the council, but will meet with athletic opposition op-position from S. 'M. Wood, of Poplar Grove, J. W. Wilson and George Dean. t JX & Thomas Hobday and Charles Davis are the choice of the Kearnsltes in the second, and Mr. F. J.
