Democratic View on Local Politics and Voter Registration
A prominent Democrat warned that the spring election risks a solid anti Democratic vote from 10 women and no Republican split to exploit. Jeffersonian club members doubted any ticket unless Republicans falter and many would not register or vote unless a turning event occurs. With Innes declining candidacy, the opposition might rely on a Citizens ticket plan. The Johnson and Cunnington slaughterhouse property in West Lawrence was sold, with objectionable structures to be removed within 30 days.
