friends. The Democrats of this ward are
anxious to know where I stand. 1 wish
to state therefore that 1 am not can
didate for the mayors chair, but wish
! rather, If my past record is satisfactory
and meets with approval, to enter the
lists as a candidate for reelection as
| alderman from the Eighth"
