"To successfully maintain a dem­ocratic form of government, mutual confidence on the part of thuse in public office and those In private life must be maintained. No offi­cial in our government can play a larger part in maintaining that confidence than the district attor­ney, for upon his rests the respon­sibility of prosecuting all persons, regardless of rank, who may be charged with unlawful activity in

In his address, John S. Marsh. candidate for district attorney, said ln par t :

candidate for city councilman in 1935, I received the largest vow ever given a candidate ln a Niagara Falls primary election—a total vote j of 6,622. I took office January 1, 1936, and I have tried during my j Incumbency to serve the people hon- I estly and to the best of my ability.

Reviews Record "I do not feel that it will be!

amiss for me, at this time, to touch j upon a few of the high lights in

! my official record as councilman. Upon my own initiative I submit­ted resolutions calling for:.

"(1): A state audit of the local welfare department. I had reason to believe that there were circum­stances connected with the conduct of that office that should be bared to public scrutiny. On one pretext or another this audit was deferred, or at least tne findings of such inquiry as was made were withheld from the public. You must draw your own conclusions as to why the affairs of this department were clothed in so much secrecy.

"(2): A change ln local trans­portation facilities, advocating bus­es for the out-moded trolley system of street cars. You know the out­come of that issue. While I was de­rided by certain persons and told that my appeal was ill-timed, yet ln the end my resolution prevailed and bu.<es finally came.

"(3): For construction of a new municipal hospital which we so badly need and which I will con­tinue to fight for if I am returned to the city council. This hospital is necessary to care for contageous and malignant diseases. The present hospital and facilities are woefully Inadequate. This work could be fin

has been tested over a long period of years. My record is clean, honor­able and open to inspection. I feel that I am Justified in pointing to it with pride and in laying It before you for your earnest consideration.

"I do not want to bore you in singing my own praises but inas­much as you are an active and in­fluential force ln Republican poll-1 tics in this community I want to j declare myself and to state my po-

| sition as a candidate for your suf­frage.

"I sincerely thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. I rest my case in your hands."

Wright Talks Mr. Wright in his speech said: "I want to thank you forJAis op­

portunity of speaking before you to- I night. ,

"I wonder how many voters before going to the polls on primary clay have taken the time to select the j candidate they are going to vote for I with the same care and good Judg- j ment they would use in hiring a per- j son to manage their business for ; them and to spend their money in i so doing. For, after all Is said and done, that is the real decision that ! must be made.

"The problem of running the gov- I ernment of the City of Niagara Falls I in a business-like manner Is no dif- I ferent from the everyday problems ! faced by the heads of many local I businesses and for these positions men are chosen who cai \do a good Job. To my way of thinking a candidate for the office of council-man should be selected in the same careful way. If he has been in I

Palls. If elected, I will do my share of the work in seeing to it that there Is no interference by the council or anyone else in the office of the city manager. I t will be up to him to enforce ordinances and he will be responsible to the council for the efficient and economic Oper­ation of the city affairs.

"Every city employee is entitled to a decent wage which will enable him to live as decently as the men employed ln business or industry ln Niagara Falls. No public servant will have his wages cut if I am a member of the City Council. The members of the City Council are the elected representatives of the people of this city and each one should have proven his business ability by holding a responsible position ln some business or industrial field or he should be the owner of a busi­ness which has been successful over a long period of time.

"We have a city of which we are proud but It Is only natural that from time to time there should be complaints concerning Its officials. These things happen ln every city throughout the nation. They have come about because voters have been careless about their selection of candidates. T h e y have failed to look Into their past record and many have not exercised their own judgment but taken that of the ward leader.

"In this election I am urging every registered voter to come to the polls on primary day and vote. Your vote Is secret and you can vote for the candidate who ln your judgment will make the best public servant.

"I most earnestly solicit your vote on primary day and in the Novem­ber election. I will promise you an efficient government and a city which has an effective city mana­ger."

Campbell Address Mr. Campbell in his speech said: "One of the things I have stressed

during this campaign is that train­ing, fitness and experience should and must be the basis for all ap­pointments to city positions. I would like to take the minute or two allotted me at this meeting to go Just a little more fully Into the matter.

"Let me say, to begnl with, that I regard the members of the Repub­lican city committee as representa­tives of the Republican voters of this city. As such, their views should be sought and respected by elected Republican officials.

"When appointments are to be made by the City Council, I believe that the recommendations of your committee should govern, provided, and this is important, that the per­son or persons proposed by you are as well qualified in all respects as any other candidate or person available for the job.

"One more thing. From your ex­periences in the past you may well question the sincerity of the state­ment I have Just made. Too many 'candidates in the past have told you pretty much the same thing but when they were once in office they ignored- your body. Why? You know the answer as well or perhaps even better than I do. Isn't it sim­ply that they had personal obliga­tions to fulfill "and chose them at the expense of the city—at your ex­pense as taxpayers.

"I have no obligations to any in­dividual or group. My only obliga­tions are to the people of Niagara Falls. I view the job of councilman

How can you defeat the Democratic candidate this fall with a Republican candidate who Is part of this record? How can you de­feat the Democrat candidate with a Republican candidate sponsored by these leaders who are involved ln this record? They admit they are backing Mr. Marsh and ask the voters to nominate him and Ignore these records. If they find it im­possible to interest voters ln Mr. Marsh's behalf they then attempt to

, interest them In Mr. Greenwald's candidacy. You can now see why. they have two candidates. They know that If either of these men are nominated they will be protect­ed and they also know that If I am nominated they can look for no Im­munity.

"If I am elected as district attor­ney I will never be dictated- to or controlled by these leaders. I have no use for dictators, either In for­eign countries or in our Republican party.

"With these facts now disclosed by this investigation I think you can see thai if any of my oppo­nents are nominated on the Repub­lican ticket it will not be surprising if they are defeated by the Demo­crat candidate.

premacy you must elect a man vh„ is pot directly or Indirectly c o n W ed with this machine. ' ^ u

"Tonight I talk to you as a can- • didate for this office and as an af- < filiated Republican for 20 years, to Republicans. I have previously made the statement that machine politics. in this county are as bad, if not! worse, than ever existed in greater' New York. There it was cleaned up by Mr. Dewey, ^t can only be clean- I ed up in this county by electing a I fearless man who has no strings j whatever attached to him and who! will not be dictated to or controlled! by these political leaders.

years controlled this office and are today anxious to elect to office a

j man who will follow their dicta-I tions. 'The fact that they have l chose Mr. Marsh, a man whose rec-1 ord shows that he has only tried

"Let us look at the other records. "Mr. Ambrusko in this investi­
