New York, Nov. 1.—A large
question mark symbolizes the
political situation in New York
City with the near approach of
the close of the municipal cam-
paign, and the answer of the
voters to the inquiry whoNvill be
mayor, which is to be made at
the election next Tuesday, is
awaited with an interest surpass-
ing htat felt in the metropolis in
many years.
There are several elements in the
contest which make it impossible to
forecast the result with any degree of
certainty. Chief among these is the
fact that there are four ' candidates
in the mailing, with three of them to
divide the republican and democratic
votes in relative proportions that will
not be known until after the ballots
are counted. The fourth candidate,
Morris Hillquit, is expected to receive
the solid support of the socialist
party, which may prove to be far
from a negligible quantity in deter-
mining the contest.
John P. Mitchel, democrat, who
had filled a number of Important of-
fice previously, and who was nomi-
nated on a fusion ticket in 1913 to
gqcceed William J. Gaynor, and elect-
ed by a iremendous majority* is
again, by grace of appointment by a
citizens committee of two hundred
and fifty, a fusion candidate.
Not to be outdone in respect to
combination of , civic organizations
and civic virtues in behalf of its pros-
pective candidate, Tammany also de-
cided this year to try its hand at
fusion. In accordance with this de-
cision, Leader Murphy invited vari-
ous independent political groups to go
The idea
there
Bia on one side as well as the
that those on the Tammany
a view to the welfare of the
eKy, were determined to overthrow
ifayor Mitch el.
’ The influence of Brooklyn leaders
proved sufficiently strong in the con-
ference to secure the choice of County
Judge John F. Hylan as the demo-
cratic candidate for mayoralty. Judge
Hylan came to Tammany not only as
a surprise, but as something of a
shock. He was scarcely known to
the rank and file of Mr. Murphy's fol-
lowers. But after having inaugurat-
ed the fusion movement. Leader Mur-
phy and the Tammany organization-
had to take what the fusion conven-
tion gave (hem.
The third candidate and one of the
moet important factors in the contest
is William M. Bennett, who surprised
the politicians all along the line by
defeating Mayor Mitchel for the re-
publican nomination. A native of i feet from end to end and' 3845 feet ex-
I
I Nashville, Tenn., Mr. Bennett came
to the metropolis some years ago and
l
soon established his reputation as a
lawyer of ability and an aggressive
politician. He made his first entrance
into office-holding in 1907, when he
was elected to the New York assem-
bly. He gave Governor Hughes sup
port in the fight for direct primaries,
and later became known as a progres-
sive. As such he joined the Rooseve't
forces in 1914, and was elected to the
state senate as a progressive republi-
can. He'opposed Mr. Whitman for
the gubernatorial nomination, and
was defeated. As a candidate for the
mayoralty In the republican primaries,
in which Mayor Mitchel was also a
candidate, Mr. Bennett polled the
largest vote.
The question of party “regularity”
Is likely to prove the deciding factor
in the contest. Although Mayor
Mitchel is a fusion candidate, and al-
though thousands of republicans have
developed a strong liking for him, hfe
is essentially a democrat. On the
other hand, Mr. Bennett is a republi-
can, and the choice of the republican
primary. The Tammany campaign
efforts are being directed toward hold-
ing the parties to “regulartiy,” and
thereby splitting the fusionists.
According to the Tammany figures
Judge Hylan will win by a plurality
Exceeding 175.000. and Mayor Mitchel
will run fourth in the race. Accrod-
ing to the same estimate, Morris Hill-
quit, the socialist candidate, will get
3econd place.
In the "last mayoralty election in
New Yo^ the vote stood-, Mitchel.
fusion, 358,181; McCall, democrat,
233,919; Russell, socialist, 32,057;
Walter, socialist-labor, 1647; Ray-
mond, prohibitionist, 1213. There
was no republican in the field then.
The republican in the field now is
considered the most doubtful factor
in the equation
elusive of approaches. It has one of
the longest single truss spans in the
wcild, the main channel span being
720 feet.
With the opening of the new bridge
to traffic, a great railroad route will
be connected up, reaching from Nor-
folk. Wilmington, Charleston, Sa-
vannah, Jacksonville, Tampa, Pensa-
cola, Mobile and New Orleans, on the
Atlantic and the gulf coasts, to Port-
land, Seattle and Vancouver, on the
Pacific coast, for it will link the At-
lantic Coast Line and Louisville &
Nashville railroads with the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railway and the
Great Northern Railway, and will re-
I
alize a transportation dream of many J
years. The new route will also con-J
nect Richmond, Atlanta, Louisvllie,
Nashville, Memphis and other inter-
ior cities of the south with Chicago,
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Win-

conscription of man poyrer, declared

of justice, C. J. Doherty, asserts that
the military service act is illegal in
that it lias superseded the royal au-

Government attorneys were dis-

fered from backache, weakness, and irregu-
larities so I could hardly do my work. I
Ml
tried many remedies but found
cent relief. After taking Lydia E.'Pink-
no perma-
ham’fl Vegetable Compound I felt a great
change for the better and am now well and
strong so I have no trouble in doing my work.
I hope every user of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound will get as great relief
as I did from its use.”—Mrs. S. D. McAbek,
122 Dewey Ave., Spartanburg, S. C.
Chicago, 111.—“For about two years I suf-
fered from a female trouble so I was unable
to walk or do any of my own work. I read
about Lydia E. I'inkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound in the newspapers and determined to
try it. It brought almost immediate relief.
My weakness has entirely disappeared and I
never had better health. I weigh 1G5 pounds
and am as strong as a man. I think money
is well spent which purchases Lydia E.Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound.”—Mrs. Jog.

• A. Mitchell Palmer, who is to be
custodian of ailen property under the
Trading-With-the-Enemy Act, is a
former Pennsylvanian congressman
and a prominent figure in the coun-
cils of the democratic party. A Penn-
sylvanian by birth and a Quaker by
early training, he declined the post of
secretary of \^ar when it was offered
to him by President Wilson in 1913.
As a mtnaber.of congress frost-1S69
to 1915, Mr. Palmer made his mark
in dealing' with problems of finance
and revenue production, wrhich was
natural in view of his experience as
a hanker and trader. At the expira-
tion of his term in congress he served
for a time as: a judge of the Federal
Court of Claims. In the position to
which he has just been appointed by
tbe president he will act trustee
for all enemy property in the United
States and issue license exempting
enemy concerns from his supervision.
New Types of Corn Cribs Being Built.
The October Farm and Fireside j
says:
There are several reasons why the
farmers in Dallas county, Iowa, are 1
building new types of cribs in which 1
to store their corn. One reason is ;
that they want a building which will (
last for many years. Another reason
is that they refuse to be pestered with
rats and mice from season to season.
Then, too. the ntw hollow-block cribs
which they are building are not an»
more expensive than the wooaeu
cribs which their neighbors are erect-
ing.
■Five years ago one of these new |
cribs was built on a farm near Adel, J
ami now, after five years of trial, the
farmers who live near have decided [
that the blocks are good material for !
such use. They afie cut at an angle, f
so when laced in a wall the hollow !
channel wili not permit the rain to J
run into the crib, for the tunnel in the j
block slants down on the outside.
“To keep out the rats and mice, a j
piece of fine mesh screen is stret^^
around the inside of the wall to a I
heigi.t of several feet. At that height !
ft piece of tin is laid in between the j
blocks, protruding outside the wall !
This prevents the rodents from climb-
ing abo'e the screen.
--in the center of the circular block
cribs is a core some five feet in diam-
eter. This is built of hollow blocks,
and acts as a ventilating tube for the
crib. It extends the full height of
the crib.”
