MAYOR GARDNER
WILL ACCApT
ANOTHER TERM

The promise from Mayor James 7.
Gardner that he would "stand by the
ship" if chosen by the people to
guard the city's interests for another
year, has caused spell of relief to
come over Newport.
The Evening Record has been after
Mayor Gardner for some time to
make a statement as to whether he
would be a candidate and every time
he was approached the mayor re-
manned reticent. Last night, re-
porter for the Record questioned the
mayor again as to the possibility of
his becoming a candidate. He re-
piled as follows:
"Although | have not announced
my candidacy, will stand if elected. "
This sta cement is just what the paper
has been after and by it the mayor
has told the people Of the city just
where he stands. We are certainly
very glad to hear this good news
from the city's chief executive.
Thursday night petition signed by
Is prominent business men was
handed to Mayor Gardner and the
mayor was asked how he stood. He
smiled and said "That's a pretty hard
thing to turn down"
Newport needs "Jim" Gardner at
the helm for another year and there
is no question but what he will be
elected. He has done some fine work
as head of the city government dur
ing the past year and there are many
more things for him to accomplish
this year and with cooperation from
the citizens we feel sure that Mayor
Gardner will boom Newport during
1920.
