be counted for the person for whom
they cast that vote, no matter who
that candidate may be.

party, faction or affiliation, to know
that if I am reelected county Judge
that no man, no influence, no corpora
tiOn or no power except the qualified
voter of Chicago, will determine the
results of the election next spring and
that this, my pledge, is made to the
people of Chicago, to political foe and
friend alike''
