For NJ ayor.

For Mayor.
To the Voters of Brunswick:
Il hereby announce myself a can
didate for mayor of the city OF Bruins
wick for the ensuing two years, sub
Ject to the white primary. With an
experience of four years of active SER
vice as alderman, l believe | have
sufficient knowledge of the city's af-
fairs, both in it's operating and execu-
tive departments, to warrant asking
20 be placed at the head of control.
And should you select me as mayor
assure you most heartily that / will
Ill the office to the best of my abil-
ity. In my judgment Brunswicks
future was never brighter than now,
md it will be my great pleasure, If
permitted, to assist with my admin
stration in bringing the city abreast
with the development of our sister
cities.
by way of explanation would say
hat it is usual, believe in political
contests, for the candidate to make
personal solicitation for votes. Now,
have not done this in one single in
stance, as according to my way of
linking, a voter should express his
own convictions on the merits of a
candidate, unhampered by personal
appeal
Il have not the pleasure of per-
sonal acquaintance with every voter
n the city, but l respectfully solicit
he support of one and all who be-
lieve me to be, according to reliable,
unbiased information, the better
equipped and qualified for the office
and the best interests of the cr,y.
81. H. LEO.'
| hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of mayor of the city of
Brunswick and will appreciate the
support of my friends and the vot-
ers generally. Respectfully.

GETTING NEAR ELECTION
OFFICIALS 60 EASY

New England Herald: THE lid is
on in Marmarth and the Marmarth
Mail says that the town will hence
forth wear the lid and that all bootleg
eine and gambling will be showed off
the boards. 1t sounds good, but some
will say that it is about time that some
thing was done. Some eight or ten muir
ders have been reported since that
wide-open town got on the map and
most of them never would have happen
ed were it not for the blind pigs. Two
of the murder trials were held within
the past year and dozens of respectable
citizens were called away from their
business for weeks to testify in these
cases. Can't blame these people for
wanting the lid on. and say-do you
think New England has her lid on

it to say now that each and every one

A Statement

To the voters of Stark county: ,
Two years ago I was a candidate for
states attorney before the primaries
on the republican ballot. I was de-
feated but had the satisfaction of re-
ceiving a substantial vote in the pre-
cincts where I was acquainted. The
three other candidates were all strong
men and an exceptionally strenuous
campaign was made by the two high
men. -.
Since that time I have entered into
a partnership with Tobias D. Casey,
formerly of Grafton, and therefore, for
me to be elected to this Office now
will, to some extent. be a sacrifice to
the business of our firm. AS l have
been 50 strongly urged by my friends
! have concluded. however, even against
the wishes of my partner. to announce
myself as q candidate for the Office of
states attorney of Stark county on the
republican ballot. As this is an i'm
portant Office I submit to you. that the
question to determine before you give
your support is which candidate will
fill the Office most fairly and capably.
If upon this basis you deem that I am
entitled to your. favorable consideration
I shall highly appreciate your support
and vote.-adv.
Respectfully.
H. A. BURGESON.
