city wants some man who is able to ease

legislation, and McDermott is the man.
He can and will make 1t the model city
of the State. In our midst we
have all sorts of industries which

clean streets and lower tax rate, and

Board of Finance.
This city should have just as many i'm

Mr.. McDermott is able to give you these
things. There Is No man in this
State with a better knowl-
edge of municipal affairs than he

serves his term he will leave the office

payer for the good he had oone.

no chance of winning, but that should not
lessen our vigilance. want this district
to give McDermott for Mayor and Sury
for Alderman grand majority"
