man in whom everyone who knows him
has implicit confidence"
How do you think he would run
against Mr.. CleVelaDdYn / asked.
Mr.. Perkins will command the sup
port and influence of all good people who
nave no interest in politics beyond seeing
an honest city government Certainly no
citizen who desires to see good clean
government in Jersey City should hesi-
tate between Cleveland and Perkins.
Mr- Perkins has come to be rich man
by attending to his own business and
knowing how to look after his own affairs.
This should commend him to the people
effairs. He cannot hope to attract
to his support the trained
politicians, but there are enough
citizens in this city who are not politicians
to elect him If they will only put their
shoulders to the wheel"

pleased with The nomination of Mr. Per

would come out on election day and vote
for Mr.. Perkins he would undoubtedly
be elected
