Local politics stir as no-license party organizes ticket
A heated borough election debate centers on forming a six-member council ticket by the no-license group. Leaders name Henry Johnston and others, with speculation that Wm. Vannutte may run for Mayor. Contenders Eckel and Carl are hinted for re-nomination as councilmen, while observers doubt a full-term overhaul is wise. The issue hinges on whether all council seats should be elected together or in the existing staggered system amid legal questions and veteran opinion.
