Captions: "Under one: Yes, sir-ee! I know this car matter from A to Z. I'll tell you whats the best kind of a car for Chicago. I've made a careful study of the whole subject! Under two: What this town needs is a car with more speed! (applause) More room! (applause) We want a good ordinance! Keep the street car question out of politics! Under three- Chorus of Listeners: Aw, we thought you were talking about motor cars. We're not interested in street cars!"
