POSITION OF BRANSFoRD.
Mayor Says He Won't Let His Party
Managers Control Him.

Mayor John S. BransfOrd, American
nominee to succeed himself, issued another
declaration Of independence yesterday af-
teTnOOn. Tt had been reported in political
circles that the mayor had been ap-
preached by a committee of spOiismen and
asked if he would sign an agreement
such as has been signed by most of the
American" candidates for the council, to
appoint none but good Americans to
places in the city administration. The
mayor who seemed to be feeling first
rate as a result of his recent visit of in
spectiOn to eastern cities, smiled at the
suggestion
mo committee has called upon me with
any such proposition" he said And he
smiled still more when he added; cit
wouldn't have done them any good II
they had"
Mayor Bransford said the nomination
had come to him unsOught and unsolicited.
He was not handicapped by any pledge
whatsoever to any man or to any set of
and. if elected would continue to be his
own mayor. Discussing further the mat
ter of appointments for purely political
reasons, Mayor Bransford said:
IF ! find a city official doing good,
faithful conscientious work, l will not
remove him I propose to have a business
administration of municipal affairs and
1 will not stand for anything else"
This talk by the mayor viii be a bitter
disappoHltment TO the spoilsmen, but ii
was perfectly evident from his manner
that he meant exactly what he said. The
mayor is q business man, not a politician,
and he will make no removals for pOliti-
cal reasons.
