Since women have a vote, y^ome smart public officials tell me ±£that_*. political campaigner must tell the gossip of the campaign. I will MthereforCQtttUne forzouiMjfighjLthat CJwe have been carrying on." f He declared that the Brundage ticket was always on the safe side and pointed to his men as stand-patters against the Thompson regime "Not one man-^a-my-ticket has ever sup- ported Mayor Thompson to my knowl- edge," he said. _i ' The former governor was the prin- cipal speaker on the program of the Deneen Republican rally.
