took over the afternoon newspaper
and in a brief announcement of that
fact, it said in these columns that it
proposed to literally eschew local pol
litics, that is, local and factional pol
itics. If the time ever comes when
there is great moral issue involved
or when some man who is materially
unfit for Office, aspires to it, then
in its opinion The News will speak
out and sptak in no uncertain terms
for the justice of the situation, as it
appears to it.
However, in contests as between
good citizens within the ranks of
the party and within the city and
the county, The News is going to
hold its peace; give each and every
candidate fair, square deal on the
same basis and try and represent at
all times, the est thought and the
most wholesome side of every ma
terial question that touches this com
mumtyl
That's the aim and the object eff
The News in its broadened field and
just Yesterday two letters were re-
eeived in Brunswick which we feel
are evidences of the fact that in the
recent political contests in this COM
nlunity, The Mes kept its faith, gave
to all interested fair, square deal
and as result. harmony and good
feeling exists between all manner of
Brunswick people and campaign for
city commissioner has just been con-
cluded, which was pitched on high
plane and with has left no wounds
for time to heal.
Here is one of the letters:
Mr.. G. D. Ogg, Mayor,

Here is a case where the defeated
candidate hastens to extend congrat-
ulations, to the successful one and to
assure him that the campaign was
pitched on a high plane-that cour-
tesy and good feeling existed through
it all and that he is ready and willing
TO cooperate with the administration
for the betterment Of the city!
That's the proper sort of spirit and
we conpra+1llate Mr.. B. ]. Ford, who
deserves the commendation of th
community for having written it,. 1t
stamps him as a man of courage
through and through and it shows
fine spirit of civic love for his city.
Here is the other letter:

Perhaps it is most befitting
that l should at this time thank

press my gratitude-hence this
letter.

tunity of expressing our thanks to
Mr.. Ford for having sent it to us.
If we have succeeded in what we
started out to do-to give every can
didate for public office a fair and
equal representation in the paper OH
fair and equal terms; to engender
good feeling and fellowship and to
place cur campaigns for office high
above the level of bitter Partisan
fights. then we have brought about
consummation devoutly to be de
sired and we are happy.
That's all!
