Mr. Gilbert made very interesting
and convincing speech. He said that
1t was not his intention to engage in
personalities or to condemn the pres

point out the several deficiencies in
ais policy. Mr. Winter is a personal
friend of mine and everyone else. and

and Mr. Parsons are running on their
records and the records of the pres

that it would not be the policy of Mr.
Parsons. if elected to wage war on
any classes or eliques or interests. but
to wage war On vice and everything
that was against the city's best inter-
ests. THE voters are the jury and are
