LaGuardia backs Labor candidate
NEW YORK (UP, Feb. 16) – Former Mayor F. H. LaGuardia has endorsed the candidacy of Johannes Steel, American Labor Party candidate, in the special election in the 19th congressional district next Tuesday.
“If I were a resident of the 19th congressional district I would vote for Johannes Steel,” Mr. LaGuardia said. “It is not only voting right we need in Congress in these troublesome and important days, but thinking right and the ability to express an idea. That Johannes Steel can do admirably.”
