AT B馆 Elmer, make it true! that feet through the snow in a one - Geis segúnace Type 2 Army types 1 and 9 Alka -Seltzer! Next Tuesday! Next Tuesday! Mayor Byrd, what are you going to do for money? How much money do you have left over from the primary? We don't even have all the bills in yet from the primary, so I can't tell you.

Well, are you going to have a fundraiser? No, I'm not going to have a fundraiser, but I will have enough money to mount the campaign that I want to mount.

Leftover from the primary? Yes.

You're going to ask for new money from somebody? A dollar.

Will you have plenty of money to run a campaign like this? It's going to be expensive.

Oh, you don't worry about that now.

That's my problem.

Yes, I know it is, but the people would like to know about it.

Question of timing.

Tomorrow is St.

Patrick's Day, and it's also your wedding anniversary.

Yes.

Congratulations.

But with the greatest parade in the greatest city, it's also a chance for you to launch an election campaign.

Is that perhaps when we can hold it to buy a cable? Here comes the main program coming along now.

Oh, you're a fire show man.

I've been here every year since I've been there, and I wonder if you'd like to do it again.

Here on the Greatest Street, why don't we all...

...from your presence, guide our mayor, guide our city officials, and may the spirit of this year not only be with us tonight, but may that spirit be with us as we go out into the New Year, that we may strive for your glory and strive for the uplifting of all of humanity, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Thank you very much for coming.

Merry Christmas! Hooray! ...the people of Chicago.

May I just say to you first, I'm overwhelmed.

Sign down.

Second, haven't we really put...

Four years ago, what we pledged to the people of Chicago was that we would open up the city of Chicago.

As you look along this road, as you look out the dice...

...so let it go, this Democratic Party stands here to say goodbye.

And the House of Representatives is very lovely white.

What's going on? Okay now, we're going to do something a little different if I can have your attention.

You know, there's a lot of ways that...

There's a lot of ways to start a meeting, and excuse me for the prayer.

But you know what? Let's hold it down one second.

...you'll find yourself among the undecided.

...the people of Chicago.

...

Open the coat wide.

Now.

I made the sweaters for Jane Byrne.

Hopefully you vote for her and see that she's elected.

How are you? I like your stickers.

Go check it out.

Oh, all right.

Go check it out.

I'm at 300 North State.

I got it.

I got the pay.

All right.

I'm having lunch over there and looking around, you see so many of the people who really made this city the city that it is.

I think it was a very great honor for Chicago the other day to be named the world's fair city.

But that doesn't just happen either.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm pleased to be out here.

It's one of the projects that I was present at when they broke ground.

And it gives you a very good sense of accomplishment when you see these projects completed.

And I want to thank John Kramer for his cooperation on behalf of the state of Illinois.

Just having a good time.

Thank you.

At the age of seven, it's true we've had dramatic and important individuals.

...backstop, you know.

I mean, it's part of it.
