G. G. Curtis's Position
in the Campaign for
City Sergeant:

To My Democratic Friends:-ln the
course OF the present campaign. |
have frequently heard the statement
made that in the event that Mr.. c.
w. Mugler is the successful candidate
in the Democratic Primary, that he
purposes to retain me as Deputy Ser
geant. the position | now hold under
Mr.. Milstead. Fearing that some mis-
understanding may arise over this
question on the part of my friends.
and not being able to see them all in
person and set them right on the mat
ter, | take this method of informing
them that Mr.. Mugler has never APP
preached me on the subject of max
ing me his deputy, and | do not ex-
pect him to. | am heart and soul in
this fight for Mr. Milstead, and am
fighting for his success. His success
means my success. My position
is that Mr.. Mugler should reward
some friend of his who is working
for his success in this campaign. and
not me who is doing all in my power
to defeat him.
Most respectfully.
