An Alderman's Patriotic PROPOSE
tiOn to Resign That He
Might Serve.
BOOMLETS DL0OMED YESTERDAY.
Colonel Kay Treats 1t As a Joke Bennett
BrOached, But Beach Will Doubt
less Be HOnored.

The high esteem in which the SER
vices of Mayor Mason t. the city of
Brunswick are held was never more
conclusively proven than on yester-
day, when Alderman j. A. Butts went
to Mr.. Mason and offered to resign his
place in council in order that MIR. Ma.
son might be re- elected to his former
position as alderman ana thus con-
tinue TO serve the city.
Dr. Butts urged Mr. Mason to &C
cept his offer, but the latter declined,
with expressions of appreciation fol
the kindly spirit which prompted the
proposition. The mayor SAID that he
felt the city government was in neeC
of careful and economic handl ng, but
trusted that the council would choose
for mayor a man who would measure
fully up to all the requirements.
Many citizens, some of whom voted
against Mr.. Mason for mayor, have
urged him to use all the legal means
that can be devised to prOlOng the
contest, in order that the city may, in
the meantime, have the advantage OF
his administrative service. He seems.
however. much disinclned to do his.
and although he has not au horned
any statement, 1t is believed that h,
will retire from office as soon as tn,
remltter from the supreme court i.
made the Judgment of the superior
court.
In this event, the council will bt
called upon to elect his successor at its
next regular meeting.
The various boomlets didn't grow
much yesterday and few new ones
were heard of. Col. w. f. Kay wa
radiant with smiles aid imbibine
soda water when TIMES MAJ
broached the mayoralty to him. Col.
onel Kay seems to regard the Who'll,
thing as huge joke.
81 have been punished enough al
ready" he said to the reporter, an,
laughingIy disclafmed any aspira-
tlons.
Representative Joe BenneL's nam,

commented that finer mayoralty tim.
Der was not to be found in this sec
tion of the political forest. But Col,
onel Bennett could not be seen, and tn
public must rest in ignorance as t.
how this community tendency woulG
fit under his thinking cap.
The belief that the council will ten
der the Cffice to Mr.. j. / Beach is gen
orally accepted, and is very probahl,
of fulfillment. Mr.. Beach'5 energy, il
fiuence, opnlarity, tend to this view
But the kaleidoscope of polite
