Byers weighs independent mayor bid amid political pressure
Mayor W A Byers acknowledged urged support to run on an independent ticket but said he has not received solid backing. He failed to win the Democratic nomination in February after a primary loss to P C Rasmussen. Ministers and railroad men reportedly sought him as a candidate, while the local Ministerial Association declined action yet said most ministers would back him if he ran. The association praised Byers’ two years in office for law enforcement, and Byers warned of less enforcement if he does not seek re election. Minner and Rasmussen opponents criticized his two years in office, with Minner promoting strong municipal governance and accusing the mayor of sleep at the helm.
