'Mrs.    William   N.   Alcorn,   one   of   the I contenders,   hopes   for   the   support   of I the  women  to  carry  lier canuiaign to 'a  successful   consummation.   Her namo I will  appear  on   the  l-tepublican      and iLemocratic   ballots.   Tlio   third   candi- I date,   Luther   Frelz,   a   itepublican,   Is ! a new  comer  In  the  political      aiena. , To  tho citizens  of  the  borough,  huw- ] ever,   lie   is   no   a  stranger  by      any j mean.s,    having   been   kXentilied   with the   real   estale   business  and   one   of lour local banks for a number of years. The   diversity ,o£   tliese   business  con¬ tacts has made  for him a    host      of friends,   practically   all   of  whom  have pledged   him   their   support      in     the present contest. In fact, it is said, the importuning of a large group of such admirers,  linaJly  persuaded Mr. lYetz ! to   have  his   petitiona  circulated.    He 1 I haa made a 1-eal Issue lor his oppon- i ents to meet, by his llrst declarations ' after   entering   tho   campaign,     when I he   said:   "If   I   am   elected,   tho   tax! , office  is going  to  bo  open  like  other 1 [ businoss  and   public   offices,   five     and , a   lialf   days  every   \<eek   In   the  year, 1 and   in  tlie   evening   ns   well. '
"The   office   Is   going   to   be   in   the , business section of the borough, where : Inquiries   can   be   made   and   explana-i , lions   received   by       taxpayers,     and j I where   courtesy   under   all        circum- | stances   must   be   accorded   those   in-' j tereeted.   Hurried   and   unsatlsl'actoi-y' I interviews    on    such   matters       oflen cause   misunderstandings   and   uncen- tninties.  1 believe  the borough  is pro¬ gressive   enough   to   want   such   inno¬ vations   introduced.   I   am   mindful   of the   claims   which   tlie   jjubllc   has   on one   accepting   such   a   poeltlon,       and rhall   always   discharge   the       obll/^a- tions  incident  to  the  office with  fidel¬ ity  and   businets   dispatch,   but  1  also appreciate   the   financial   claims which press  upon many of our citizens, and therefore   I   want   to   inaugurate       a means   whfrcby   periodical   or   inntall- ment  payments   ot   taxes      mny      be made."
The supporters of Mr. Pretz point to this declaration as far Oie most satisfactory statement coming from any of tlie candidates, and feel con- ftilent it will eeoure for him the support of mo8t of the citizena in the conilng  primary. adv
