our voters and in doing SO they will have the conviction that they are acting for the best interests of the people of the city. Primaries his year provide an opportunity for our more than 19O0O voters to decide for themselves which candi- date will offer the more effective means of providing an administra- tion which will as far as possible eliminate political considerations and give an administration which will best reflect the wishesSof the people at large that we have an economical and efficient adminis- tration. It is consequently the duty of every voter, whether he be a taxpayer or rent payer, to vote and to determine as far. as his vote will determine 1t, who will be the candidate of. the Demo- cratic party.
 Consider Pledges
 Naturally any intelligent voter is going to consider the pledges made by g candidate for public office and is going to consider the pledges made by a candidate for public office and is going to con- sider also the question of the sin cerity of the candidate in making such pledges. My sincerity is sorne- thing about which I cannot very well argue. I can only say this-I do not expect or wish anyone who doubts my sincerity of purpose to vote for me, either in the primaries or In the election.
 z It is impossible to discuss municipal government without giving consideration to the status of the city employees. Their con- ditions as regards working hours, wages and pensions and like bene- fits should not and can not prop erly be regarded as a question of politics. Neither is 1t proper that recurrent financial difficulties of the city government should serve to pena1ize its emplyoes. Under 8 properly managed municipal government rates of pay should be properly adjusted to the character and quality of the worS perform ed. Under such 8 government the value in morale and in improved efficiency of proper working con- ditions and proper benefits should be recognized as it is in a well managed business or industrial concern.
 Proper management of the city's financial affairs should permit the payment of established fair and proper wages without undue bur- den being placed on taxpayers and rent payers. I cannot believe that any self-respectiong city employe who feels that he or she is faith fully performing necessary serv- ice would want the compensation therefor based on matter of po- litical expediency. Likewise, I be- heve that the taxpayer does not

 Fair Treatment
 My attitude is that city employees should be fairly treated, but will under no circumstances permit po- htical considerations to enter into question of what does or does not constitute fair treatment.
 I have stated that I expect to oe held to these pledges. I have stated that I do not expect your support unless you feel me to be both sincere in my promises and capable of carrying them out.

bodies of 26 men, was to lower six
pontoons, into which air could be
pumped to hoist the craft off the
bottom SO that tugs could tow it
into shallow water.
One pontoon had been sunk and
chained to the Squalus' side, and
another had been put in place 20
feet from the bottom. when a buoy
ancy test last night disclosed that
