San Francisco, Cal
NY dear Mr.. RAIDER: I under
stand that somee Of the churches OF
san Francisco viii observe next
Sunday as Justice day. and that
pleas will be made from various
pulpits for civic righteousness and
for the equality of all classes before
the law I would like. as resident
of San Francisco and as one jealous
for her good name, to give my word
for such use as you may see fit TO
make Of it in connection with the
services of next Sunday, or in any
way that may possibly bear upon
the coming city election.
Ny work this year has carried
me into many states, west, middle
west and east I have just finished
tour which led me TO visit 10
different states. I have conVersed

Yet to find a decent man who is
not tremendously interested in Mr..
Heney's election. The eyes Of the
country are now turned toward our

in the esteem Of the rest Of the
nation. Il Will be taken TO mean

the fearful conditions that pre-
vailed a few years ago. 1t is my
settled conviction that San Fran

merciaIly by Mr.. Heney's defeat
Moral distrust Of a city does not
work for financial confidence to-
Ward that city Funds will not
naturally flow where men feel that
the advocates of q perfectly honest
government are rejected by the
people IF San Francisco shall elect
Mr. Heney the city will at once
move into the higher esteem of The
nation. Those who are now ad-
mfring the city for it's plucly work
in material rehabilitation viii ad-
Inire her~the more for her continued
work in moral and civic rehabili-
tation.
IF I We're naming the one thing
that would fnjure San Francisco
most at this juncture ] would
unhesitatingly name the defeat OF
Iii. Heney. This means that all my
conversations with people over the
eoantry have convinced me that
our city simply can not afford TO
defeat an honest public servant.
regret deeply that my duties keep
me from home. so that ! can not
give my voice and effort toward
serving my city by aiding to secure
the election of Mr.. Francis j.
Heney ] shall fervently hope that
San Francisco may not suffer the
humiliation OF his defeat.
Cordially yours.
