Faulkes RINGER SEES STRONG NORTH SHORE VOTE The candidacy of Charles Ringer, at the present time a member of the Board of Assessors, for the Republican nomination to the office of county treasurer is continuing to threaten the harmony of the anti-City Hall forces. Attorney General Brundage continues to avow his staunch sup- port of Ringer. And Ringer apparent- ly is in the field to make the strongest race possible. Records show that Mr. Ringer has always received a huge vote in the North Shore district whenever he was a candidate for public office. Repub- licans of this region are already dis- playing an eager interest in his cam- paign and the circulation of his peti- tions. According to his workers, the Ringer petitions were signed by over 20,000 names after four days circula- tion. When Mr. Ringer was re-elected to the Board of Assessors in 1918, a re- count was necessary due to a vote fraud. The courts finally declared him elected by a large majority. In this office, he has achieved a reputa- tion for fairness and equity that is vouched for by all who know him. Long and successful experience in business together with his work in public office gives him excellent qual- {fications for the office of county treasurer, an office transacting more business than any other in the county. Miss Evelyn Steen, will entertain at bridge on Saturday afternoon, March 18, at her home, 233 Essex road. . . * -- {CHARLES E. HOTZE WITH LAKE SHORE PUB. CO. Charles E.
