The mayor was introduced by the latter. “Cleaning Out™ City Hall, Mayor Paonessa opened his talk hy asserting that he stood on the same corner two years ago and promised if elected to give the city an econom- ical administration, and to ‘“clean out” city hall, He felt he had ac- complished both, he maid, and he was on the platform to tell of a few other things accomplished during the past two years, The mayor said friends of his had told him that he could not clean out city hall, that when he was elected the commissioners and ecmployes would throw their arms around him and that he would be tied up like other mayors. The speaker declared that within a few minutes from the time of his inauguration, the “clean- ing” process was started.and it was thorough. Among those he fired, he gaid, were two men one of whom was being pald $1,700 a year and the other $1,800, These two men are now distributing Republican eampaign posters, The mayor asked if Judge Alling proposed to install them in their old jobs and if the city was to be compelied to pay these unnecessary salaries, Tells of Financial Achievements.

He declared he is a working man's candidate withont an A, J. Rioper behind him, and he appealed to the working men to support him for office.
