If one may judge from the line of talk it is almost a sure thing that Mayor Charles Wagner will be nominated by the Democrats to succeed himself. The people want \u2018Charlie\u2019 to steer the city craft for two more years as the town has made more improvements under his administration than any of his predecessors. Wagner built cement walks. Wagner keeps the kids home. Wagner elevated town morals. Wagner has raised hell with the bums and he has been the mayor and a good one, too! The people want Wagner!\u201d The image at right shows Charles Wagner (second from right) with Judge Thomas Rucker, Tom Flynn and an unidentified man, circa 1910.
