in this day of the scarcity of news

MAYOR-ELECT BLEASE
ISSUES A STATEMENT

To the Voters Of Newberry:
A great majority of you have
paid me the honor Of electing me
Mayor of our town. | thank those
who voted for me and those who
worked for my election for the con-
fidence expressed thereby in me.
For various reasons, some people
felt it their duty to vote for my
friends and opponent, Mr.. Langford.
Let me say to these, that l am already
forgetting that you cast your ballots
against me. May you soon forget.
I ran for Mayor, hoping to be of
service to my town if elected. Public
Office only becomes honorable to. the
holder of it when he serves the
people. If l am to be of service
worth while, it is necessary that l
have the cooperation of all the
people of Newberry, regardless Of
how they may have voted. 1t is the
duty of every man, woman and child
in Newberry to help me in the work
of progress I hope to do.
Let all the people feel that I am
to be their Mayor and that my heart
and brain and hand are at their SER
vice, for those things which look to
making Newberry better, brighter
and bigger.
