Abstract
In this study I examine the fate of the post of cantor in Csongrad from the death of chief cantor Antal Sohlya up to the official inauguration of the first church cantor not related by blood or marriage to the Sohlya-Hornyik family (1902-1908). Also, to fill a gap in the available information, I describe the procedure for election of a cantor. In my analysis I place special emphasis on showing the different conflicting interests, and on examining the strategies used by the candidates to increase their own chances. How was the lobbying carried out and how were the representatives entitled to vote "softened up"? What interests lay behind the different "factions", what considerations led to support for a particular cantor? How was all this communicated in the Csongrad press? My sources were minutes of the municipal council, documents on the 1907 and 1908 cantor elections preserved in the Csongrad parish archive, and the press. A knowledge of the political leanings of the Csongrad newspapers at that time is essential for a correct interpretation of the data as very few of the reports are impartial (this is especially the case for articles relevant to our topic).
