lContinued From First Page)

lContinued From First Pase) efficient. economical and good ad- ministration while I'm in office. am bound to no man or party ma chine but I am loyal to my party and to the voters. shall take all blame and responsibility If my deci- sions are wrong and all credit if they are right and believe me when say that I will do everything in my power to cut down the expenses of city government. My experience in the common council for the past five years has been a wide one and 1 gained enough of it to know just what is needed and how this city should be governed. While there worked conscientiousiy and loyalty and always weighed every ques- tion before passing my judgment. My record speaks for itself and is open to you to investigate"
 Traceski Raps Democratic "FOllies"
 Attorney Stanley J. Traceski, who was chairman of the meeting spoke briefly about the forthcoming cleo tions and said that it Is not neces- sary for the republican party to stage any "Follies" or "shows" to get people to come to the meetings. He also remarked that the demo- crats made grave mistake when they intimated at rally in the same hall, that the republican candidate was only tool of the republican machine.
 They're all wrong" he said. "Mr Bartlett is part of no machine, but is running solely because he is in- terested in the office of the mayor and has the interest of the citizens at heart. They make a noise about economy and tell you that if the re- publicans get into office. q lot of your money will be spent uselessly and that during their administration money was spent judiciously. But they forget to tell you that men ap- pointed during their administration to public positions were mostly re. puhlicans and that the success ol their administration was entirely due to the conscientious and loyal work of these people. There was never any extravaganza on the part of the republicans and 1t is your duty to go to the polls next Tuesday and vote the straight republican ticket, for a good and efficient gov. ernment."
 Mrs. Walther Speaks He then introduced Mrs. Ruth B Walther of the republican state cen, tral committee. who congratulated the women of the fifth ward fol their excellent organization, as be. ing the first and only one of it. kind in the city.
 "The thing we all want is tt prosper" she said. The republi can party has always made this pos sible and has brought prosperity tt this city. The democrats here a. we'll as everywhere are united bu for one purpose and that is to ge control of the government and i they should get control, let me as
 sure you that you will face harde
 times and a less efficient govern
 ment. The republican party is you shield and you can protect you rights and interests by voting re
 publican. It is my firm belief tha
 Mir. Bartlett has your interest a heart and you may be sure that i he is elected mayor. you will hay
 a good and efficient administration and enjoy prosperity"
