THIS WEEK
Gold H ill voten w ill go to the
polls today (Thursday) and again
tomorrow.
In today's electio n , up for app

g e t and charter changes.
Slightly less than 300 are e lig i
ble to vote and only a small per
centage of those were expected to
MBB their ballots la the c ity e le c
tion although considerably more
were expected to "he an hand ft*
the presidential prim ary Friday.
In the c ity election, the C ity
H a ll w ill be the location for v o t
ing but la the Friday election the
H a ll and Brownell's motel w ill be
used.
No d ifficu lty In winning appro
val of the voters to a slightly larg
er budget was anticipated Inasmuch
as the Increase was okehed by the
citizens co m m ittee, and because
much of the Increase was brought
on by need far mare fire eq uip
ment.
C h ie f Interest In the city e le c
tion seemed to center around one
change which would consolidate
the offices of C ity Recorder and
C ity Treaswer making a paying
job that could take the fu ll tim e
of one person and make opening
of a c ity office feasible.
Other changes proposed are m in
or In nattue and Interest of voters.
In the Friday prim ary, however
a number of county offices as w e
ll as s a te positions are contested
and presidential electors w ill be
chosen with a battle between p le
dged and unpledged In sight.
Elsenhower supporters, pledged,
seemed to have the slight edge.

To e lect Bob Brantley at county
judge Is to bring to an end the re
ign of snubs far this end a i Jackson
county that has been the lot of
the m ajority of citizens under the

The election of Brantley, like

Fowler knows and like» tne pe

native of this end of the county
