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.
