Mayor in Brief Statement Re flutes Canard That He Will Abandon Public Life to be Public Service Lackey
In Second Candidacy For Highest Office City Has to Offer He Will Stand Upon Record His Administration Has Made
Will Show EvidentiaIIy That He Has Given Strongest and Most Progressive Government City Has Ever Known

In a firm, but modest statement Mayor Buckingham, today, disposed of the islanders and campaign stories that have been circulated against him during the past few weeks, and more quietly, for months. Patience ended when a newspaper printed story to the effect that the mayor would leave public life to accept employment with the United Illuminating Go.
 The denial of this canard by the mayor is prompt. As a part of his denial he announces that he will be candidate for reelection and that he will depend upon his record in of flee for the support that will be nec- essary to- successful candidacy.
 The Mayors strong announcement comes like a bomb shell into the camp of the conspirators who have led a concerted attack upon him in the hope of disgusting him with politics and inducing him to retire.
 The burden of the assault was not that the mayor has been guilty of misconduct in office, that he had be- trayed the city, or neglected to per- form his duties.
 The indictment consisted of one claim, that the mayor lacked decision. That he has not been strong mayor.
 This is an accusation. that the may or will take up and dispose of.
 Those who are most familiar with the administration that Mayor Buck ingham has given the city are confi- dent that upon analysis it will be found to be the strongest administra- tion the people of Bridgeport have had in many years. I A very slight dispassionate exam any impartial man that the charge of ssweakness" will not stand either against the mayor or his administra- tion.
 On the other hand the evidence will show overwhelmingly that Mayor Buckingham hasE taken stronger ground and stood to it more firmly than any of his predecessors, and that the result has been progressive in the highest degree. 1t will be asserted that the progressive character of the Dem ocratic administration in Bridgeport has been reflected in Hartford, much to the benefit of the people.
 Mayor Buckingham, in short, will stand upon the record he has made. The mayors statement was given to the press this morning, soon after he reached his office. It was his answer to- the rumors that have been dili- gently circulated for some weeks by those who wished to prevent him from becoming a candidate for reelection, mainly those associated with the lob by element in the Republican machine. who, regarding him as the strongest candidate on the Democratic side, de- sired to dispose of him, upon the theory that he was weak and could be frightened out of the campaign.
 The effort proved a boomerang and Mayor Buckingham is very much in the race as circumstances will show

.sLet George do it!''
 Those mystic words will bear fre- quent repetition at the detective bu- reau in police headquarters these days, for the detective force was to- day augmented by the addition of George Haux, who for ten years has been a regular patrolman on the Bridgeport force.
 Officer Haux has been assigned to take charge of the. Bertillon system which is to be used at headquarters. His addition to the detective force makes three Georges there, Arnold, Fox and Haux, as well as two Peters. Hall and Hackett and the one and only Edward Cronan.
 MT. Haux has a. splendid record as regular patrolman and is eminently fitted for the special work which has been assigned to him. His friends feel that he will more than make good" in his new position.
