Interest centres in the mayoralty contest which comes once every two years and in which Mayor George C. Miller, seeking re-election, finds himself opposed by tout prominent local men Dr. Lyle Telford, Col. Nelson Spencer, Ex-XH. T. W. Kirk and Ex-Mayor L. D. Taylor. The contest, up to a few days ago, appeared to be between Mayor Miller and Dr. Telford but many consider that Dr. Telford has lost I considerable prestige, even among ' his particular admirers of the C.C. F., due to the failure ot his sensa tional charges against the prov;rt- cial government which collapsed so dramatically last week. Col. Spencer and T. W. Kirk will jet a good deal ot support from the business people. Either one of the ather would have done better If the other had not been In the field. One attack on Col. Spencer Is that he has been friendly with Orientals and an exploiter ot their cheap Jabor. The candidature ot the aged Ex- Mayor Taylor, who Is now eighty- one years old, Is not taken , very seriously. Withdrawal of Sam Shearer, Labor Progressive candidate as a Parks Board candidate and disqualification of Prof F. E. Buck, Non-Partlzan League candidate for the school, board, and likelihood ot the last minute nomination ot David Hall to take Buck's place featured the closing hours ot civic election nominations' at the City Hall today.
