There is only one man who can rid the politics of this State of the evil
domination of Boss Jim Gettys. I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane, the
fighting liberal, the friend of the working man, the next HYPERLINK

tml" \t "_top" Governor of this State, who entered upon this campaign
--
with one purpose only: to point out and make public the dishonesty, the
downright villainy, of Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine -- now in
complete control of the government of this State! I made no campaign
promises, because until a few weeks ago I had no hope of being elected.
Now, however, I have something more than a hope. And Jim Gettys -- Jim
Gettys has something less than a chance. Every straw vote, every
independent poll shows that I'll be elected. Now I can afford to make
some promises!
The working man -- The working man and the slum child know they can
expect my best efforts in their interests. The decent, ordinary citizens
know that I'll do everything in my power to protect the underprivileged,
the underpaid, and the the underfed!
Well, I'd make my promises now if I weren't too busy arranging to keep
them.
Here's one promise I'll make, and boss Jim Gettys knows I'll keep it: My
first official act as Governor of this State will be to appoint a
Special District Attorney to arrange for the indictment, prosecution,
and conviction of Boss Jim W. Gettys!
