In this club. where we lave been accustomed ex.
change views upon public questions in the security Of
a generous forbeaiancc, feel at liberty To give cx.
preston TO opinions which. while differing from those
held by many Of you, Will not trust, be out Of harmony
with the spirit OF which has brought to-
cethor. We are TO bid gcodspecd To- beloved
brother assume responsibilities In the dis
charge OF which the loyal support and sympathy OF the
membership Of this club will. am sure be to Inn u
cheering solacc aud u sustaining strength.
PARTY LINES SHOULD NOT BE DISRESARDED.
| am not In accord with those who hold IL to be the
duty OF the Incoming Mayor disregard party lines in
dschargiag the various responsibilities pertaining to HIS
high Office. (Appause) The late campaign wh'ea re-
suited IN such phenomenal ana unexpected Victory was
uot-t me-fought upon lines OF nonpartlsan-
shin that required the eaccmcnt OF political convictions
or dsntegraton OF parties in municipal anars but
rather upon those OF good citzenship-of plain every
day honesty the administration OF tie peoples bust'
ness and OF the purity the nvoaby of the ballot
The result achieved not by political coatoh Dut
by an uprising OF the people
There dem,nd that parties should 0bdieae their
legitimate functions IL was not expected that they would
disband in future TO make nominations or to rally
the support and deence OF che opinions and principles
upon which men may honestly divide In their views OF
public questions Parties are but The agyr CATION Of
Individuals While true that questions Of national
politics have legitimate place In the administration OF
municipal matters IL s equally true that the masses u
naturally and habtualy range themselves along
national party lines determining who shall be their
public officers. For am free TO say that prefer
that even til municipal ship In which take passage
should be manned from stem 10 stern by Republicans.
provided always that they men Of honesty ant eIf
ciency and not political pirates who would scuttle tho
ship Tor the cake Of the cargo.
