Political Split In Oakville Faces Mayoral Contest
In Oakville a heated mayoral race unfolds between incumbent Colonel Jackson and challenger Charles Lawton as local factions, liquor influence, and the Negro vote sway the outcome. Lawton plots to win through black support while citing city debt, licensing curbs, and a new city hall as failures of Jackson. Jim, a Black shopkeeper, reports Lucullus Williams controls Black votes and liquor, complicating Lawton’s bid.
