Records of the trial and documentary exhibits presented would fill several small trucks. Ramifications of the alleged conspiracy, for which 26 men originally were indicted, led during the trial to a comprehensive review of Ghicago gang activities back to the days of the beer wars.

To The City Voters:I come to you as a man free from all entanglements. 1 assure everybody a square deal; —my one and only promise. lam a tax payer:— Enough said! lam also a friend of employees, and I have made no threats. Wage-cuts are very often false economy. Surplusses accumulated by wage-cuts are not profits. Sufficient revenues could and should be obtained front our City utilities to effect lower rates, lower taxes, and standard wages. Voters should demand this from candidates for future office, and their right of protest does not cease with the casting of their ballot. I shall demand the equal rights of all local bidders on all city contracts. I consider a Councilman not a “City Dad,” but a servant of all people. I favor a continuation and increased cooperation for the civic interests of the City, with a special stress on Youth, —the men and women of tomorrow. This is not a last minute appeal. Take your time. Study this thori oughly. Check my record, ability, and attitude. Take this with you | when you go to vote, and keep it for future reference, i You are the judge and jury; — my evidence is in; — The ballot will soon be given you; — Mark it according to your own best judgment. 1 ’ await your verdict with joy and confidence.
