qualifes him for the position OF mayor.
Speaking at the Auditorium on the north

did Simon as legislator father any
law? Is there any law stamped with
his name? No. The hardest work he
did was to draw his salary. What does
the lob of legislator amount to? \ few
job hunters run around saying. I want
to go to the iegislarre.' and we say.
Yes. for goodness sake 90. we're glad
to get you out Of the way What does
the auditors office amount to? It's a
rubber stamp job. Why there's our old
friend Mack Foland, better fellow new

he has TO do IS TO stick his head in the
office in the morning and say. Hello
gals and then go out and play golf.
The gals run the office for him.
Dan Brown IS a man who Is willing
to do anything at any time for any man
whether he be democrat or republican,
When we are progressing morally
say let's go on. I don't want to go
back to old times. When you set as
old as I am maybe you'll feel that way
too"
