We have already many assur nees that the membership of the Clvie anion does not, by any means, share the prejudices of Judge Root and we believe that the desire for clean and capable official service, from which the union had ite or- igin, will keep the great majority from following his footsteps. We submit, however, that in view of his bitter hostility towards our inter- onta, bip participation in any sort of a demand upon us ts dhwarranted and might be deemed impertinent “From these and similar cireum:- stances we would be justified in manding some assurance that the inspired by a candid and impartial desire to deal fairly between the respective candidates, But in order that there may be no suspicion that we are attempting to an- swer to any proper question, we add er every interrogatory propounded to either of us. If we should be elected, we will go into our respective offices with- out having made any promise or re- ceived any consideration to or from any person whomaoever, and with- out being under any obligation of any personal or private character, or to any persons or closs of per- sone in any degree inconsistent with the highest™and most efficient dis charge of every daty of our re- spective offices “In conclusion, we desire to say | that we have ignored the fact that some of the interrogatories might | well be regarded as personally of- fensive.
