First. I wish all Centralians to know that running
for Mayor of our City was and is my own idea.
   I was not drafted--I am not the candidate of
any man, any group, any civic or frateranl organi-
zation or any special interest.
    I feel that I am qualified for this position and
that I know the needs of this community.
    I feel that I am capable of assisting in organiz-
ing and conducting a progressive, efficient and eco-
nomical city administration.
    If elected, I will give all of my time to the duties
of my office and the affairs of the City of Cenntralia.
    As Mayor I would establish my office at the City
Hall where the door will be open to every resident
of Centralia regardless of class, color, creed or sta-
tion in life
    I believe that only by securing a cross section of
knowledge, ideas, advice and opinions, can a public
official intelligently make decisions of vital impor-
tance affectingthe lives of all our population.
    My promise to all Centralia is, if elected, I will
do my best and will live up to my many years of
training in public service guided always by the prin-
ciple of honest, efficient, just and courteous treat-
ment to the public.

-ADV.
