Final Statements By the Mayoralty Candidates
Voters face a closely watched 1900 municipal contest as the Citizens' Municipal league remains a wild card. Leaders predict varying league support, with bets ranging from two to a thousand votes, while last year’s totals show Crowley 6827 and Putnam 6681 with 409 blanks. The campaign emphasizes nonpartisanship and platform over personalities, with Stevens urging civic nonpartisanship, Putnam pledging a Republican tax cut, and Dimon promising to serve city interests if elected. Virgil G. Barnard appears most certain to win as purchasing agent, defended as honest against attacks from Rourke, who trails in a contested race for a city post.
