Continued from Paua Qnel

his short speech to the caucus made
very fine impression upon the voters
present. He said:
Mr.. SawteIIe's Acceptance
Fellow Republicans of Augusta:
l am deeply touched by the honor
that you have conferred upon me in
selecting me as your standard bear
er for the approaching municipal
| campaign: l am no less impressed
with the responsibility devolving
upon me by reason of that choice.
If, however, my responsibility has
commenced, yours has not ended,
with the choice of a, candidate. The
duty of using our utmost efforts to
| carry the banner of ne party to vic
tory on Dec. IL rests upon us all; to
that end l pledge yself and to that
end l have a right to expect and do
expect your loyal support. That we
! will have obstacles to overcome goes
without saying, but If we all unite
our efforts the result cannot be in
doubt. If elected l pledge my best
efforts to give our city a clean, econ
administration, l shall stand upon
my own feet and shall go into office,
If at all, absolutely unfettered and
unpledged to any man or group Of
men, there will be no distinction in
my mind between citizens and in
every situation the sole deciding
question will be, how may the best
interests of the city be best served.
I shall always be accessible to every
one and shall accord to each and all
patient and courteous hearing. But
no one man can do everything, it
takes team work to make success
I shall expect from the members of
the city government and shall de-
mand of my appointees their active
and earnest cooperation and / shall
welcome the advice of all good peo-
pie. Thus we enter upon the cam
paign, from now until the close of
the polls on election day. let the slo-
gan be. work. work work. Republi-
canism in Augusta need not justify
it's existence. but I state with con-
viction that it can do so. Let's 60.
