 removed from the official lists. Their stand as administration dme- ocrats having been questioned 1t mas been found 'expedient to remove them. The fact that so many have been deprived of tn priyilge of Vot- ing is something which warrants an official explanation.
 "It is to be presumed, however, that ten years in office for most of the present administration, sixteen out of the past twenty years Tor | some, has given them a sense of personal security that has been destructive to efficiency and party interests.
 william E. Kennedy, who chal- lenges the administration record in sincerity and accomplishment, has placed his plea before the pub lie. The rank and file of the dem ocrat party has it's first opportunity | in eight years to select it's own rep resentatives in the makeup of its official ticket. It has the chance in the primaries tomorrow evening to register it's disapproval of the in- difference and independence of its present representatives,, the evident disregard of the city's finances as shown in the creation and appoint ments to unnecessary positions the iron-hand rule of the fire and po- lice departments where favoritism has been fiuanted for some and deserved rewards denied to loyal veterans.
 "But what is perhaps Of more importance to every citizen of mod est means will be the opportunity who will have their personal in- to select as chief executive one lterests at heart and in mind in meeting the present unemployment lsituation, the most serious problem which has confronted the city in years. It will be a trying winter for hundreds, but the ordeal can be faced with more confidence and less fear of suffering with a real leader at the head ot the city gov ernment, one who stands willing to assume permanent leadership and who will not pass his personal responsibilities over to organized charity.
 With these facts in mind, we most earnestly seek your support tomorrow of William E. Ken nedy. Protect your party and your city by nomination and electing him mayor"
