But at a time like this, when the call of duty comes, 1 feel like many other citizens who have responded to that call, that if I can be of service, | should set aside my personal preferences or desires and respond whole heartedly to the eall. It is in this spirit, therefore, and in no desire for mere office, that I answer the call, and offer myself again as a candidate for the mayoralty for 1918.
