 "The only question in controversy as l view it is, should you be select ed for another term as mayor of New Britain on your record of six years in that position, or myself on mine of two years?
 The city records at in City Hall, accessible to any citizen and will be shown on application. This matter will be decided by the voters at the primaries on Friday, next.

 Respectfully yours.
