When l entered, my fellow citi
bs this political contest, l recog
led the fact that my distinguish
opponents had a much larger
luaintance over the district

trict. l reject the idea or the
aration that the citizens of
Third Congressional District
led by any or set OF men
they will solve the question
ought to be solved, notwith-
ding the power that will be
mpted to be exercised by the
tical machine that 1 have just
FRED to. If | believed that
voters of this district wonld
Ontrolled by political machines
political bosses l would not
entered this contest. If |
bved that l could only go to
Eress through the influence of
hines or political bosses |
Id prefer to remain in the pri-
walks of life from now until |
ss the silent river. Ii / can't
this nomination at the hands
e Democratic voters Of this
bet, the taxpayers of this dis

entation of the questions in
ed in this contest | would
b it.
