YOUNGEST MAYOR IN STATE!
Webb, Iowa, March 27 (Special to the News-Herald). Webb will have the youngest
mayor in Iowa, it is believed, when Howard G. McMullen takes office here. Young
McMullen, who was 21 years of age about three weeks ago, defeated B.G. Spiess
for mayor in the election here yesterday, 57 notes to 32. Spiess is about twice
the age of the winner. The mayor-elect is a son of Mr. and Mrs. D.A. McMullen,
a prominent family here, and he attended the Webb schools. He has been active in
DeMolay circles here and is now clerking in the Munson general store. The elder Mr.
McMullen has been prominent in town affairs at Webb for years, having served both as
mayor and as alderman.
