Dodging The MayOralty

Recently citizens of Tucson ARR, signed nomination
papers naming as candidate for mayor OF that flne
citv William D. McDermott, man who has managed
big mines and reduction works and who IS large
man physically and mentally, and with courage TO
match The result Of the nomination was an open
letter from Nj McDeTmOtt TO the citizens OF 1ucsoD
in which he declined the proffeTed honor, saying;
"A successful candidate must be everything TO every
bodv an angel OF chump, and as am neither prefer
TO remain as I am king with free hand to do as
wish"
He had the right idea regards the mayoralty, not
alone of Tucson, but of almost any town Inc mayor
has thankless Job if there was one Such honor
as attaches to the office very largely nuiiled by the
fact that to be elected, candidate must, as MI NC
Dermott suggests be all things to all people making all
kinds of promises at least by implication, which VIII

look the unpleasanness in the hope Of being OF some
