Ensley, June 20.-(Special. )-Mayor D. F. Sugg today formally announced that he would be candidate for recollection to the office of mayor of Ensley. and that w. R. Stewart had accepted the chairmanship of his campaign committee When seen Mir. Stewart made the following statement in reference to the coming campaign:
 "I have agreed to look after the inter ests of Mayor D. F. Sugg in his cam- paign for reelection and do not believe any opposition based on sound business reasons can be organized that would in the least jeopardize his chances. Demo- cratic custom always accords faithful officer the endorsement of a second term. The issue will be squarely presented to the people of Ensley whether or not they desire to endorse an honest, economical, progressive and conservative admnistra- tion of the affairs of the city During the past IS months Ensley has progressed municipany and industrlally as has no other city in the south. Civic righteous ness, as well as intelligent supervision of public affairs, has been part of the policy of the city's administration. There has been neither corporation batting nor in- dividual persecution. Public improve ments have been carried forward at rate undreamed of when Mayor sugg was installed in office. and these improve ments have been done under the active, personal and constant supervision of the mayor and at smallness of cost gratify ing To the board and the general public conversant with such details.
 'The city's affairs have been administer ed along the lines of the greatest good to the greatest number without the hope of reward or the fear of punishment; ad- minstered as a great business concern, such as the city of Ensley should be ad- ministered and not for personal, pecunl- ary or political preferment or gain to any man or clique. While I have disagreed public policy, his absolute honesty, integ- rity and constant application to his work, together with his impartiality and broad- guaged conception of a public officials duty have led me to the conviction that d failure to re-elect him would be in the nature of public calamity. As stated In the outset, the issue will be squarely made for the endorsement of honesty in public affairs. fair and impartial consideration of all whether of high or low degree, progress consistent with the city's rev enue, the policy of seeing that not one cent of the peoples money is appropriat- ed unless the city secures value received, and the broadest publicity of the operation of every department of the city govern ment. The present administration of Ensley as a whole is a credit to the city and ranks second to none In the char acter of it's units as business men and citizens. As the campaign progresses the voters of Ensley will be shown proofs of all have stated and every point will be emphasized and drawn to the attention of the people so there can be no clouding of the issues on which they will be asked to pass judgment at the polls"
