Should anything come of It. I am free to admit that It would only be because my ambitions to achieve sue cess would overshadow the disad vantages of the position. "Tho position of mayor should be considered in the light of that of a general manager of a corporation whose stockholders are the citizens. In that light capacity for close at tention to business details should be more essential than political wis dom and ability. In that light the business mayor would consider above all the interests of his stockholder citizens rather than those of his po litical advocates. "Upon these principles I would. If It was thought best, consent to be come a candidate. As I do not be lieve politics should enter Into this proposition, it matters not that I have no political record to point to. iut I have managed business af fairs for seventeen years and my business record can easily be traced.
