1293 EDMONTON DAILY
DEC 2, 1907

J.A. McDougall and Ald. Picard are the Mayoralty Candidates. 
Fourteen Nominations for Aldermen.

The municipal contest next week gives promise of being one of 
the keenest in the history of the city of Edmonton. There are 
now sixteen candidates in the field, including the two for mayor 
and interest is already growing red hot.

At the nomination this morning there were many citizens 
present and the interest shown gives some indication of what 
the excitement will be on election-day. 

For the first time in some years there promises to be a contest 
for public school trustee, but some of those nominated may 
withdraw before election day.
