 Statement by Valentine
 'T am glad that I did not win the election for Mayor because I know the hard work I would have had on the job The people evi- dently do not want any of my rough stun. as they call it, but want harmony, the same kind as prevails in graveyard" said Emery Valen- tine this afternoon, commenting on the results of yesterdays election. "I did not want the position, and I was the last one to sign the Pro gressives Ticket. If I had really wanted to be Mayor. would have launched my campaign two or three weeks ago instead of only. making short stab at a campaign, adver- Using in the papers the last three days before the election.
 "I did not even announce every thing I proposed to do if I was elected. I was going to have a real steamship line operating be- tween the south and Juneau; I was going to put cheaper coal into Jul neau. I did this before, bringing down the price of coal and also gas oiine. I guess that is about all have to say, and I'll continue right along in the same old way"
