THE SPRING ELECTION. The Belfast CORE
spondent of the Bangor Commercial in writing
of city politics quotes our present mayor, Hon.
Robert F. Dunton, as saying, when asked If he
would be candidate for reelection: "Not
under any circumstances whatever l would
not take it anyway: they will have to find
somebody else" This was to be expected
Mr.. Dunton would only accept the nomination
last spring on the assurance that his candidacy
was desired by the citizens generally, ire
spective of politics, and then reluctantly. The
city finances were known to be a bad condi-
ton and few would have cared to undertake
the responsibilities of the mayors office at
that time. Mr. Dunton did SO at a sacrifice of
his time and against his inclinations, and
merits the thanks OF the community he has SO
, faithfully served the past year. The Com
: mercial correspondent asked ex-mayor Ham
son if he would be candidate and he replied:
. Neither at the spring election any other
The Democratic city committee will recon-
mend and endorse Mr.. Dnnton and my fri ends
and l will do all we to promote his cleo
ton" ...."If he does not accept. then the DEM
) ocrats will probably not put candidate in the
, field for this spring election" The correspond
: ent then mentions as among the Republicans
talked of for mayor Messrs. H. c. Buzzell,
Amos F. Carleton. Orlando E. Frost, James H.
Howes, Charles R. Coombs and Wilmer ]. Dor
man. When interviewed Mr.. Buzzell said: II
!, am not candidate and would not accept the
nomination. Not but what would like to be
mayor all right, but I have only been here
about three years, and it would not be right
for me to place myself ahead of some of the
older politicians in Belfast" Mr.. Coombs
said: II havn't given anyone authority to use
my name in this connection, although it has
been mentioned to me repeatedly. l don't
want it, and as l am not very active in politics
l would not care to commit myself either way
: at the present time.
