SOL. GOODYEAR CONGRATULATED

The ticket nominated at the mass
meeting of citizens Monday night
seems to have met with the approval
OF the citizens of Brunswick except,
of course. about ten office holders. and
one or two politicians, who held Il
Aeeting several days ago, III a locaI
attorneys Office and put ticket in
the field.
Col. e. P. Goodyear, who is to heau
the ticket, is considered one of the
best men in the city of Brunswick
Tor her chief executive, and he was
warmly congratulated on all sides yes
terday. col. Goodyear had no idea
that he was going to be nominated.
y ~Ndespite the erroneous and false state
: ment circulated in a circular that the
nomination had been slated for two
weeks. Col. Goodyear went to the
meeting as citizen, to assist II nam
ing good men to represent Brunswick
in the city council. and when MS
name was placed in nomination ne
was more surprised than any man at
the meeting. Col Goodyear had been
approached on the subject by mis-
friends, but had fatty refused to ac-
cept the nomination. At the meeting
Monday night. however, SO strong was
the request for him to enter the race
that he decided to acQuiesce and one
of the leading business men in the
city, man whose main effort in life
has been for the betterment and up
building of his city, now stands before
the people as candidate for mayor.
Col. Goodyear has done more, writ
ten more and said more for Bruins
wick than any other citizen. HIS
lifelong work has been in the inter
est of the city In which he made his
home. He has made many a sacrl-
fee for MS city. and Is now making
one to become candidate for mayor.
Coz. Goodyear has been requesteI
by hundreds of citizens for years to
get in the race for mayor, but he has
always refused, and this is the first
time that he has ever been candi-
date for Office before the people He
Is not one of those men who can De
made tool of by politicians, who has
no backbone nor ability, and gets into
political race merely at the re-
quest OF a few politicians to be a
ngure-head, such as has Doen the case
In Brunswick. He did not make the
race upon "the urgent request oi
many friends" (cheap politicians), but
was nominated by a representative
mass meeting, composed of citizens
and business men from all walks u
life. Had he been nominated in the
Office of a politician-attorney at a
meeting attended by four people, all
officeholders, he would nave decline
the nomination. but when two hun
dred or more representative citizens
called upon him to be their standard
bearer he answered the cali. like he
has done in the past.
n. M. King.
H. M, King, one of the four noml
nees for aldermen is one of Bruins
wlcKs most prominent citizens. he
has never figured in politics and has
never been used as tool By poIiti
clans. He is one Of those energetic
citizens who stands for the interest o.
mis- city, and against the politician
For years Mr.. King has been the
iocaI representative Of the John X
Young Company in Brunswick ano
beg friends among every class in the
-. It is believed that he is jus
Ebe kind OF man that Is needed OF
Brunswick's aldermanic board--on'
that will work Tor the city and mo-
play into the hsnas Of the bosses.
