“Moran is Unfit” 
Read What Leaders ot John B. Moran’s Own Party Say of Him: 
“We feel obliged to state our conviction of the fundamental unfitness of Mr. Moran to fill the high 
and dignified office of governor of Massachusetts. The obligations cf good citizenship are superior to 
those of partisanship; we are citizens of an honorable commonwealth charged with our share of the 
duty of maintaining and advancing her standards of government even before we are Democrats.’—J. 
A. Sullivan, Josiah Quincy, Arthur Lyman, J. C. Burke, E. L. Arundel, Nicholas J. Skerrett. 
Vir. Moran as a Leader. 
Congressman John A. Sullivan, a member of 
Mr. Moran’s own party, says.that Moran’s assump- 
tion of leadership is certainly ominous of conse- 
quences, and he likens it to being whirled madly 
about in the delirious circles of the tarentella while 
in the grasp of a political acrobat. 
DO YOU WANT A POLITICAL ACROBAT 
IN THE GOVERNOR’S CHAIR? 
Mr. Moran as a Public 
Official. 
Speaking again Mr. Sullivan says: “If his 
manner of conducting grand jury proceedings is to 
be taken hereafter as the official standard in Mas- 
sachusetts well may those honest citizens who 
value reputation above all things else exclaim: 
‘God Save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,’ ” 
The secretary of the Boston Bar Association 
shows that during Moran’s term as district attor- 
ney the cases pending have mere than doubled, the 
indictments pending have more than trebled. His 
predecessor reduced the number of cases pending 
more than one-half. He has released 100 more 
criminals than his predecessor. Many less cases 
have come to successful conviction. The expenses 
of the office have been increased 30 per cent. 
The Publie Record of 
E. Gerry Brown. 
Democratic and Independence League Gandidate 
for LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, 
The Democratic candidate for lieutenant-gov- 
ernor has been a political will-’o-wisp for years. 
He started as a GREENBACKER. 
Touched the REPUBLICAN party in 1882. 
Flew to the support of Benjamin F. Butler as 
a DEMOCRATIC candidate for governor. 
Identified himself with the POPULIST 
movement, and became very promenent in the af- 
fairs of that particular ism, 
Was a leader in the WORKINGMENS PO- 
LITICAL LEAGUE, 
Again went back to the DEMOCRATIC party 
and ran for state office on that ticket. 
Has run for mayor of Brockton under various 
party appellations. 
Now becomes prominent as a DEMOCRAT 
and a leader in the INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE, 
One of the admirers and satellites of William 
R. Hearst, 
This remarkable Political Changeling has 
shown himself to be a man of no settled convic- 
tion and one entirely incapable of rfsing to the dig- 
nity of state management upon any fixed policy.
