 Mayors Speech
 Mayor Hayes said:
 "Perhaps at no time in the his- tory of this country does the vote of the individual mean more than it means at this coming election. There has not been in many years a situation which so seriously de. mands the thoughtful and sincere consideration of the average man and woman as to what he shall do on election day. After all, 1t isn't the personality of the candidates that counts, but what they will do if elected and what the policy of the government will be in the fu- ture.
 "A republican victory will be in- terpreted only in one way,--as a rebuke to the president of the United States. No matter what the political orators of the g.o.p. may say in the next ten days, if they win, they will say that it is de- mand for a return to the old order of things, when the country was run for the benefit of the few and not for the people.
 "Do you want to go back? Were the policies of Hoover, the plan of having the country ruled by Wall Street and the great moneyed men and institutions the one that we wish to follow? What would 1t mean in the end? Just what 1t al- ways has meant in every country in the history of the world, 'revolu- ton.

Shall it be for the few or the many? In some ways we have been a peculiar country. In spite we have worshipped wealth, re- Money was the power and the 6AOAy auu LLiG SOAAtA VI OL lAAC SVdh- try was in it's hands. Those who are inclined to criticise the spend ing of money to help the needy may we'll think of the hundreds of millions of subsidies given to the shipping interests, the airplane combinations, the munition people and dozens of other groups like them, dished out by the republican leaders at Washington. The presi- dent is right. His first duty is to the people and not to any special interest among them. And he is doing his duty as he sees 1t. Let's do our duty and vote according to our conscience, as to what is best for our neighbor, for ourselves, for all of us.
 Don't turn down President Roosevelt"
