The Nation Can No Longer

Chicago Kept Industry, Attracted New Business, Became The Center For Convention Trade And Transportation.

I Accept That Responsibility And Ask Only That I Be Judged By My Performance As Its Chief Executive.

The People Ask Much, Often More Than Any Government Can Give. We Must Resist The Temptation To Promise Solutions To All Problems.

The Cooperation Of Government At Its Different Levels Is Important And Can Only Be Achieved As Long As The People Of Chicago Are Directly Involved In Our Efforts And Supportive Of Our Goals.

Be Assured That I Did Not Become The Mayor Of Chicago To Preside Over Its Decline.
