years.
The slogan, however, banks on
the short memory of Chicagoans.
Poll-bound citizens might do
well to recall the last period

in this city, and to the events
that convinced voters that they
had had more than enough OF
the Republican Party-for keeps.

five congressional seats in No

The Spring campaign will be
made under the slogan of good
government on which the Kel-
Iy administration is highly vul-

But citizens who are justly
alarmed at present-day lcorrup-

into the record before deciding
that any change would be a
change for the better.
THE GOP-HELD Chicago of
1880 was the happy hunting
ground of the Doodle boys-the
axis of crime, politics and big
business.
Millions were MIXED from the
citizens of our city to- be fed into
corporation Golfers, into the graft
mills and pay-off rackets, into
the kitty that paid for the lush
living of the Republican hier-
archy.
In return, the Republican
chiefs barred their fangs to the
people in the months and years
that followed the crash, through
the grim pre-Roosevelt years of
starvation and misery.
