alleged expert I want to inform
Harrison that have not always
been mayor OF Indianapolis. I once
drove a delivery wagon for a furni-

qualified me from being a good
honorable citizen.
Il understand the Chamber Of
Commerce pays Harrison So, 500 per
year. II that organization had given
10 the city OF Indianapolis the
money that he is costing it I could
have hired a whole police force like
him" 1 understand that he was
brought here to advise the city Of

affairs. Instead Of that he made
what 1 consider one Of the most
ritiful speeches I have ever read.
