BEWAiE OF SELF-STYLED
REFORMEiS AND THEIR
RED HERRING ISSUES
It's a sad state of affairs when local political elections

isKJue thi? waraing^—^"Beware of self-styled reformers and
their Red Herrings".
William F. Glacken is serving, and has capably been
serving as Mayor of Freeport. With his Unity Party admin­istration,
he has guided tlie coil^munity through important
years of growth and progress. They have planned and sched­uled
profects which have become valuable, important and
peonanent realities. Sure, like all other humans, even presi­dents
of our Unit«i States, they are not infallible—no one is!
They might have misjudged on one or two issues, but through­out
their yeais of service and in ninety-nine per cent of their
a£.coinpli»une&ts, the record evidences the benefits to the
community. .

^ "reform^s'C"'-—,..'',,•'•*•--..-. .: .
