That life has been an open l>eok that all men could read. I believe in Brunswick now as earn telly, In its glorious possibilities, in the certainty that It will become one of the greatest ports of the South, as at any time in the thirty-six years. But I believe now that the psycho logical motaent has arrived when by proper and united effort a great city can be created quickly here, a 1 believe It is far easier to create su b a city in four years than in totii, and far more profitable to her people 1 believe a work confronts the mayor and council for the next four years of active, unselfish leadership, for growth, progress, development, prosperity, which may well cause any candidate for either the position of mayor„or alderman to pause and corn sider whether be can devote the time and service to this work which pre vailing conditions require; not whether he is equal to the task, for no man is, but whether to tne of his ability be can *jferd to the sacrifice.
