A PLAIN STATEMENT FROM MR. EMANUEL AS REGARD TO THE MANY RUMORS WHICH HAVE BEEN CIRCULATED. For-some time it has been rumored that Hon. N.

"I will say;, however, that if the tax payers of the city of Brunswick de sire me to hold the office for another term I would esteem it a veryr great compliment and would accept the trust. “1 feel that the tax payers of tne city have had ample opportunity to know whether or not 1 have been faith ful to the trust imposed in me, as i have now served the county of Glytnn two years hi Ihe legislature and the city of Brunswick nearly two years as mayor. ‘‘They certainly know whether or not 1 htfve the business ability to run the city on an economical and progressive basis, and whether or not the condi tions have improved since my election to office. “If theyt believe that 1 have accom plished any good since I have held office. I feel that tney should say so, and 1 feel likewise that if they prefer to elect someone else to the office it is their privilege and duty to do sco. “I do not think that any business man that had given four years of his time to the county and city, practic ally wihtout compensation should lie forced to go out and make an active campaign for an office tnat, is so re sponsible as that of the office of may or. "I do not make this statement for the the purpose of soliciting votes, but simply wish to put myself straight be fore the public on account of the va rious rumors that have been going around relative to the mayoralty elec tion. “I regret exceedingly tnat this ques tion has come up so long before the time for election, as I feel Bruns wick has had quite enough of cam paigning and electioneering to last her for a long time, and I am quite sure that the tax payers of the city do not desire another heated campaign.
