Roettinger's Dual Office Bid Sparks Democratic Feud
The piece notes Charles Roettinger, Democratic candidate for commissioner, has been appointed postmaster at New Richmond and contemplates holding both offices amid party strife. It critiques potential conflicts, cites internal tensions among hungry Democrats, and then moves to marchy civic notes including grand jury activity, local trials, and a misrouted letter from Mt. Carmel about a golden wedding. It ends with a plug for a Morris lecture at city hall and a ladies of the M E guild musical program.
