See Our Window PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST FALSE RUMORS DR. GEORGE BROWN Candidate for Mayor Addresses the Public In my campaign for Mayor I have attempted to use clean andjair methods. I think a precedent should be set for conducting clean mayoralty campaigns in Atlanta, and it is time to stop the practice of slandering every man who enters a mayoralty campaign. I warn the public against false rumors started on the eve of election. My life has been an open book. I have served four years as representative of Fulton county in the Legislature, and have been for progress, toleration and fair play. My platform has dealt especially with the vital health problem which faces the city. The importance of the health problem can not be overestimated. At the same time I would not overlook any other feature of the city’s upbuilding and growth. The schools, the streets, the construction department, the police, the fire and water departments, as well as the sanitation and tax problems would receive my earnest attention. I also believe in a clean town, morally as well as physically, but I do not believe in inaugurating measures which would advertise this town before the world as being vice-ridden, when, in truth, it is not: nor do I advocate such drastic measures or blue laws as would drive away liberal-minded people from our midst, and advertise the city to the world as narrow-minded and puritanical. / W ill Thank My Friends for Their Support at the Polls Tomorrow ACCUSED MAN, SAID TO HAVE DROWNED, IS HELD FOR FRAUD LOS ANGELES, Oct.
