October 27, 1932. KNOX READY FOR ELECTION.--According to residents of Knox , Charley Orr, the village blacksmith, has given up the tobacco habit. After having "chawed" the vile weed for some forty years Charley has reformed to again enter the race for mayor of that inland metropol, and he wants to be in the pink of condition. Unlike other cities, a mayor is elected at Knox annually. There are no ballots, clerks, judges or what have you. On election day the only two qualified citizens run a foot race--and the one who gets beat has to be "IT". Chances are that Ned Carter, the present incumbent and only village merchant, will be unanimously re-elected. Reports from campaign headquarters say he has discontinued training altogether and is gaining in weight daily. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
