ISN'T OUR MAYOR
THE MODEST CHAP?
"The People Will Make Me Take

Blithely.

From time TO time Mayor Breitmeyer
has said things that led persons ~
whom he was talking to think that he
had decided not TO run for another
term Such is far from his thoughts
however. Tuesday, he told some
members of delegation of Spanish
War Veterans. who came In TO inter.
cede for comrade who has been Civ
en- notice of discharge. that he would
not care to be mayor again II he had
to fight over every $1,000 clerkship In
the city hall. This was misunderstood
as a declaration that he would not be-
come candidate for mayor again.
II will not have TO run said Mayor
Breitmeyer jovially when asked about
his remark The people will make
me take the office again. Although
have been mayor but few months,
can see signs OF that already. | will
not have TO be a candidate TO be mayor
again.
II would not make another campaign
like the one | made last summer and
fall. however"
Very quietly, personal Breitmeyer
organization is being perfected In all
portions of the city. the BrightMayor
club being the medium of this move.
1t is expected that by July 81, when
the BrightMayor club holds its river
party and excursion, the organization
will be extended To all the precincts.
The aim now is to make the Bright
Mayor club the dominant factor in the
next Republican campaign, as the
Wayne County Republican club was IN
last years battle.
