Whatever else may be said of the retiring
mayor it will not be disputed that he is true 10
his friends.
We have emerged from the election without

government today IS we were yesterday. We
shall insist just strong on an economical busl-
ness administration next year we did the last
year.
The administration went down in ignomni-

sturdy citizens tell US as they pass by Thanks
to the Enterprise"
Warned by the Enterprise, and backing up
