representative on the City council, Mr Ragsdale, Thank you Mr Coleman and
thanks to so many of my friends, we have contributed at time money and
good wishes in this campaign. This has been a wonderful opportunity to
work and to find out so many things about our city. Now, tomorrow you're
gonna go to the polls, you're going to vote, you're going to determine
what you want in your city. We need jobs. We need an equal opportunity to
get a decent job and to hold a job. The only way we can do this is by
sending a new man into our city for more leadership. We need Richard the
college to be our mayor to leave this city and if we elect Mr Harley's, we
can have swimming pools in the south part of town, as you know, south of
the riverbed. We are without any swimming pools at all. Without the park
facilities. I ask you and my many friends too, come out tomorrow Early
before you go to work and cast that one vote for the action citizens take
in, Be sure and vote for Richard Dick Hollis, our candidate, your
candidate and our friend for the mayor of the city of phoenix. Thank you
Mr Ragsdale at this time. We would like to present to you an honest man, a
good man. He served in the city attorney's office, the state Attorney
General's office. He was elected county attorney two times and served in
the United States House of Representatives for three terms. He
relinquished his seat to run for governor of the state. Ladies and
gentlemen, boys and girls. Your next mayor of the city of phoenix. Mr
Richard Dick Harless, thank you Mr Coleman. I'm truly impressed and
touched here today with to be with some very good friends like reverend
brooks, Lincoln Ragsdale and reverend Kendrick who will follow me. I'm
touched with the fact that so many friends throughout this community have
responded to this cause. It's a cause for the people I first knew Lincoln
Ragsdale about 15 years ago when I ran for governor and he and I have been
associated on many occasions since then. And believe me, he is one of the
top leaders in this community and to have him associate as a councilman in
this coming city administration means a great deal to phoenix and we ought
to get out and support him and all the rest of this ticket wholeheartedly
, when we talk about a better phoenix, we think of not only parks and
recreational facilities and other things, better streets, better services
, but we think of a healthy community in the way of jobs at the present
time, there are too many people unemployed, we need basic industry, and by
that, I mean, textile mills are metal manufacturing mills, all kinds of
industry that hire people across the board. And when we get these
industries here, we expect to uh, have equal opportunity for every
individual. So that the man goes in, applies for a job. If he has the
ability to perform it, he's going to get it. That means a lot to a healthy
city and we're going to work for that for you, the people in phoenix. Uh,
we have a lot of problems and things that we've discussed in the last six
weeks since we've been in this campaign. But at the, The biggest thing
that I've run into, I think is that the people are tired of 14 years of
continuous administration, with no response to the will of the people,
They don't take them into their hearts. What we intend to do is to leave
our doors open. So anyone, regardless of who you are, can come down to
city hall and discuss their problems and we will then try to solve them.
We know we're inviting ourselves in for a lot, but as your servants,
that's what we expect to do because in that way you will have a city
administration of the people and by the people we ask you to be sure and
go to the polls tomorrow and vote and get all your neighbors and friends
to vote, vote for the this ticket, that's going to put the city government
back in the hands of the people. And when you've done that, we will really
be indebted to you and we will serve you to the best of our ability and
thank you very much. Thank you Mr Hollis. Friends. You have just heard the
next mayor of the city of phoenix Mr Richard Dick Hollis. There are a lot
of issues in this election and certainly these men can solve them. We have
a lot of problems in phoenix problems that have affected all of us. And if
you want to do something about this problem, you will get out and vote on
november the 12th for the Action Citizens ticket at this time, we would
like to present to you the reverend agee Kendrick, a lifetime member of
the National Association for the Advancement of colored People and pastor
of the first institutional baptist church reverend Kendrick.
Thank you Mr Coleman
