MAYOR SWITZERLAND.

The unprecedentedly large majority
bv which Mr.. r. J. Switzerland was
reelected Mayor (his seventh term)
was more than hatteriDg compli-
ment to him. 1t was an endorse ment
of his public and official acts of which
any man might justly feel proud.
That he has made good Mayor to
one who knows the spirit and temper
Of the people OF. Henderson his con-
tinuance in office is in itself the very
highest evidence.
Fair and impartial, stern, yet con-
siderate in the application Of the law
and the administration of justice
Mayor Switzerland has made fine
record for himself and good show
ing for the town. He has done much
to reform the morals of the commun-
ity, and although ''terror to evil
doors" he has been the best friend
some Of them had. With singular
unaninity people of all classes went to
the polls and voted for him Monday.
His supporters were from the lowest
walks Of life, many of whom had
Jared badly (but Justly as they knew
at his hands for disorderly conduct,
drunkenness. or other violations Of
law and order, to ministers Of the
Gospel and others among the best
men in town.
Mayor Switzerland feels very SEN
sibIy the honor done him by this re-
ncwed and increased vote Of confidence
and endorsement, and declares his
highest aim liz the future will be to
serve the people more faithfully, the
town more Loyalty if possible than he
has done in the past. He says he
has no axe to grind, no hobby to ride,
no friends to reward, no enemies to
punish, but that he will be the Mayor
| of the whole town, the servant Of the
whole people.
