Fitzgerald was presented to the, voters of the various parties In the primaries, I realized, as did other members of the bar with whom I spoke, our duty to make known to the electors of this Judicial District the qualifications of Mr. Fitzgerald for the office. man who has a big view of things.

In the Constitutional Convention spoke to former Secretary of State, of War, and United States Senator Elihu Root, now president of the Constitutional Convention. He said that he thought Mr. Fitzgerald among the half dozen able men in the United States. Mr. Wickersham, the former Attorney General of the United States, spoke in great praise of him.

I heard Mr. Fitzgerald speak before the Committee on State Finances and I heard many encomiums of the able way in which he discussed the subject from Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, chairman of that committee, and many delegates at the convention. The reason why I have called this meeting is apparent. I have brought you together irrespective of party to assure the election of a Representative Fitzgerald.

Not that there is any doubt of his election, but we want Mr. Fitzgerald elected by a trimphant majority." Mr. Dykman was then elected permanent chairman and Leo J. Hickey was made secretary. Patrick E.

Callahan paid a high tribute to the integrity and ability of Mr. Fitzgerald. In a personal strain, he said: "I have known John J. Fitzgerald since he was a boy. I know community in which he lives and the high opinion in which he is held by the people.

In the last analysis that is the true test of a man's It is the respect and esteem "orthur friends that we hope to enjoy--for they know us best. The neighbors of John J. Fitzgerald will all support him." Colonel James D.
