On Tuesday of this week he won the Republican renomination in the primaries for the Springfield, Mass., mayoralty. He defeated his opponent. Alderman William E. Lowe, by a four to one majority . It, will be remembered that the former McHenry boy first came to prominence politically in April of 1948, when he became acting mayor, of Springfield when Mayor Roger Putnam departed for service with the navy. The following fall, Ander-" son was elected to, serve a two-year term. Alderman Daniel Brunton was unopposed in Tuesday's election for the Democratic nomination. He and Anderson will now keep their fingers crossed until the November election, when the people of this city of 150,- 000, situated on the Connecticut River, will make their choice. Our continued best wishes to one of our McHenry boys who has already made good.
