Inc ADDRESS IS
Anthony Hauck, is a genuine child of
this city. Born upon her soil, nurtured in
her traditions. educated in her public
schools. He was taught by German par
ents the lesson that success comes only
through perseverance, and hard and per-
sistent work and he has worked his way
up from a peddlar of kindling wood to the
owner of lucrative coal business.
GAS an Alderman he served the people
faithfully, as Commissioner he has been
tireless, earnest, jealous, conscientious
and considerate and just in his judgment
of men and things. He is not a recluse,
he is not chilly He is not anchored to
the past, but is alive to the present and
ambitious of the future. He is ambitious
with ambitious thoughts and hopes, but
his ambition is of the true quality, that
ambition which make a man struggle to
be worthy of the confidence of his fellow
men. Opposition to his views never irri-
tates him. He has consideration for the
opinions and feelings of others, hence he
will make an ideal Mayor
He is Democrat and is loyal to his
party. He is in the very strength of
manhood, mentally and physically. His
in the performance of high public duty,
and above all his earnest and con-
scientious purpose, give assurance that
as the Mayor of Jersey City he will tread
the path of duty to the end and never
think of turning aside.
"Tony Hauck (as he is familiarly called
is void of all concet and does not think
of himself more highly than he ought to
think. He believes that any citizen has
a right to aspire to any office in the gift
of the people, but his loyalty to the
Democratic party is so strong that he
would without a murmur step down and
out whenever the good of the party de-
manded.
"Tony Hauck's heart is full of quick
and warm response for generous natures.
His friends are not confined to those in
power, or to the inmates of the gilded
home. He is as respectful to the horny
handed son of toll as to the millionaire.
He can penetrate through color, poverty
and untutored speech to where true
heart lodges.
LAS friend he is generous, manly and
true; is careful, painstaking, patient,
thoughtful and effective in his work He
is a safe man, such a man as would make
| a good Mayor. Tony Hauck knows that
should he swerve a hair's-breadth from
the line of strict integrity, the people will
find it out and set upon him the seal of
condemnation, while on the other hand
an intelligent community is ever ready
to judge man upon his merits. If he de-
serves success they will not fail to accord
to him the full measure to which he is
entitled
