Mayoralty Speculation Focusing On Local Figures
Frederick observers discuss potential mayoral candidates including former postmaster Guy K. Motter and ex Alder man E. Paul Magaha. Motter, now a lawyer, is a Democrat and may consider the post while Magaha, a former alderman and 1943 mayoral candidate, runs a local mercantile business. Mentions also center on former Mayor Lloyd C. Culler, ex Alder man William B. Burall, and ex Alder man Alvey V. Renn as possible names, with no decisive decision expected soon. The Board of Aldermen, now controlled by Democrats, would pick the next mayor unless Republican members show interest. No Republicans reportedly seek the role due to business concerns.
