VETERAN
COMMISSIONER SHOULD
BE RETURNED

Arthur L. Moot, who made
a brilliant record of service to
the underprivileged, during the
years of 1881, '32, '33, "a,
should be returned to that Of
flee. "A
His record during that per-
iod toward the unfortunates
who were crushed by the de-
preston prior to the function
ing of present relief setups
more than justifies this con
sideration.
Minnesota faces an end of
this economic jazz era, and it
is more protective measure
than a political one that we fill
offices with men whom we
know are without faint, and
have high regard for hu-
maneness.
Looking back over the rec
ords OF Hennepin County, we
find that every thing done for
the needy during the past two
years has been done under
pressure. What will be the an
swer when the pressure is lift
ed, and real thoughtfulness and
responsibility must guide the
officeholder?
We know Moot will measure
up, he has been tried; do you
or anyone else know of any
candidate for this office aside
from Moot who can function
with united hands? Neither
do we?
We solicit your aid for Moot,
not because of political COM
plexions, but because we know
that Arthur L. Moot is our best
defense against the trouble
that is bound to come, and
that his honesty will be our
best insurance against the sell
out that is just over the hill.
