Because of this I have been convinced that Attorney Ierardi would be of greater assistance in the city attorneys office than any of the other available candidates. have investi- gated carefully Into his character and can say that he Is vouched for by the very best of our Italian citizens. Of course realize that he is a young at torney al that he must win his spurs

low no man in our land to have advan-
tage in law over any other man. 1t Of
fers no safeguard to capital that it not
guaranteed to labor; no protection to
the workman that is not insured to
his employer. 1t would offer to each
and to both in pursuit of health and
happiness and prosperity every pos
sible advantage.
The work that has been given the
Republican party to do has been of
immense Importance. Much Of that
work has been fully accomplished;
some has yet to be completed. Re
publican declarations once in our plat
form and no longer there, are omitted
because they have become accom-
plished facts. On the other hand,
Democratic declarations have been
abandoned because the voters would
pronounced them to be unwise and
unsafe and unsuited to our times and
our country.
Shall the people ruler" is declared
by the Democratic platform and can
didate to be "the overshadowing issue
now under discussion" 1t Is
no issue. Surely the people shall rule,
surely the people have ruled; surely
the people do rule. No party rules.
The party, commissioned by the peo-
pie, is simply the instrument to exc
cute the peoples will, and from that
party which does not obey their eX-
pressed will, or which lacks the wis
dom to lead successfully, the people
will withdraw their commission
Scented Danger in Democratic Pol
icies"
For half century, with but two ex-
ceptions, the people have commission
ed the Republican party to administer
the national government; commission
ed it because the common sense of
the American people scented danger
in Democratic policies. Ours always
has been, always must be. a govern
ment of the people. That party will,
after March A. next, execute old laws
and enact new ones as in November
it is commissioned by the people to
do. That commission will be from an
untrammeled American electorate.
Shame on the party which, shame on
the candidate who insults the Ameri-
can people by suggestion or declara-
ton that majority of it's electorate
is venal. The American voter, with
rare exception. in casting his ballot, is
guided by his best Judgment, by his de-
sire to conserve his own and the pub
lie veal.
The overshadowing issue of the
campaign really is: shall the admins
tration of President Roosevelt be APP
proved; shall party of demonstrated
capacity in administrative affairs be
continued in power, shall the reins of
government be placed in experienced
hands, or do the people prefer to
trust their destinies to an aggregation
of experimental malcontents and the
orists whose only claim to history is
a party name they pilfered
With record of four decades of
wise legislation; two score years Of
faithful administration; offering it's
fulfilled pledges as guaranty of it's
promises for the future. the Republi-
can party appeals to the people and,
with full confidence in their wisdom
and patriotism, awaits the rendition
of the November verdict.
