“A FIT MAN” 
Says Congressman Gardner of James F. 
Shaw — Support the Manchester Man Be- 
cause he is the Man for the Nomination. 
Congressman Gardner, Lieut.-Gov. 
Curtis Guild and all the other speak- 
ers at the big Republican rally in 
Gloucester Monday evening had a 
good word to say for James F. Shaw, 
Manchester’s candidate for the senate. 
Cong. Gardner had this to say: 
“ Dropping the state ticket, I want 
to say a few words about James F. 
Shaw, your candidate for state sena- 
tor. I personally was very much dis- 
appointed, not to say alarmed, at the 
facility with which he carried off the 
nomination. I know that many of 
you were also disappointed at the 
failure of your local candidate to 
carry off the prize. Is that any 
reason for us to act like cry babies ? 
Is that any reason why I should go 
around the country saying pleasant 
things about the Democratic candidate 
from Ipswich? No, we are support- 
ing Mr. Shaw, partly because he is 
one party’s nominee, but far more 
because we believe him a fit man for 
the nomination. Applause. 
“Do you doubt that he does as 
much for the district as any of his 
predecessors? No, you know that he 
is anableman. What is the objection 
that men urge against him then? Let 
us tear off the mask and face the 
music. 
“They say that he is a street rail- 
way man. Well, he is a street rail- 
way man, and every man in this hall 
knows it. Has he ever treated his em- 
ployes badly? Have you ever heard 
it said that his men had unadjusted 
grievances? If so, when? 
“No! Well, what is,the matter 
then? Oh, he has made money, has 
he? This is the unpardonable sin? 
He has made money ; but you and I 
make money when we can. He has 
built valuable properties where noth- 
ing was before. He has _ supplied 
people with transportation at a rate 
far lower than they ever had before, 
and yet that isa sin. Then progress 
is a Sin. 
‘‘His motto is “live and let live.” 
He knows that he can’t make money 
unless he lets other people make 
money, too, unless he satisfies his em- 
ployes, unless he helps to build up 
communities and unless he gives peo- 
le something cheaper than they ever 
ad it before. 
“It is only human to be jealous of 
a very successful man. I confess 
with shame that sometimes I cannot 
avoid the feeling myself; but let us 
be just, let us sink disloyalty and give 
our nominee a rousing majority such 
as we ourselves would wish were we 
in his place.”’
