A Message to the
Jewish Community
From the Friends of
FRANK FITZGERALD
Judge Frank FitzGerald is a great liberal, and we are
anxious to share the knowledge of this fact with the entire
community.
In times of stress, Judge FitzGerald was first In the
ranks of fighters against bigotry and in defense of the just
rights of the underprivileged.
When the Shochtim of our community were in difficulty,
Frank FitzGerald was the man who came to their help and
saved their position here.
When an anti-Semite was candidate for the United States
Senate, Frank FitzGerald stepped forth to bring about his
defeat.
It would take a lot of space to enumerate all of Frank
FitzGerald's qualities, but we believe that the community is
well aware of his liberalism and will elect him Mayor at
the election next Tuesday.
