Schmitz, with headquarters at the county jail, is giving the benefit of his personal maa-|ous promise of support for agement to the campaign for the county jail ticket, which he programmed for the “Big Six.” The active interest of the felon ex-mayor in the municipal campaign did not end with th. com- | principle ithe man who stands for the that no man is pletion of the slate which McCarthy, Nelson, Mulcrevy, O'Neil, Finn and Bollo compelled the union la- 1 above the law, and Langdon, bor convention to nominate.
