FOR MAYOR
Newport voters will make no mistake in supporting Andrew J
Livingston for Mayor at the commission plan primary next Saturday. A life long
resident of the city, a successful business man, who thoroughly believes in the
commission plan of government, he is a self-made man, who enjoys the confidence
and respect of all who know him. He has never meddled in politics and can
therefore be depended upon to give the taxpayers a business like administration.
