1T has often been my pleasure in this
Hall to address the voters of the Third
| District who have repeatedly honored me
with their confidence. and | desire to take
advantage of this opportunity to thank
| them and the other good people of our
city for the support that has 50 freely

success of our party was thus handicap

own candidacy. Tonight however the
| cause that brings me before YOU is not
| one of personal interest, neither is it to
advance that of any other individual, but
| il is with hope to impress you with the
great principle for which we fought in
| the primary of last spring. namely, tine
right of the voters of our party to II
voice in the conduct of party affairs and
in the selection of party nominees"
I'VE are not concerned in the success
| of any one particular individual, but we
| are deeply interested i'll advancing the
principles of our party. and the contest
now being waged is for the purpose of so
strengthening our party organization by
the selection of such representatives, to
| the State Central Committee from the
various wards as will Undue the voters
with confidence and who will conduct
| the affairs of our party upon broad lines
for the public good.
I'VE further believe that success can
best be obtained by only supporting those
men in the primary who have the public
confidence. and ut the general election to
give to all candidates of the party our
most earnest and active support.
1T is needless for us to refer to the
list of defeats that in previous years have
resulted from the present management,
and it shall not he my purpose to COM
mcnt upon the fact that the present party
organization, by virtue of the conduct of
those that have been intrusted with the
