their former reasonable basis. He has kept
within his appropriations and al the same time
bought new apparatus and puiit several lie"
engine houses The discipline Of the depart
ment under his supervision has become excel

Of independent Democrats, and is regarded as a
sure winner

stand for the nomination. and believe u he had
cared % take IL he could have secured il easily,
and would be elected by a large majority Mayor
Schieren has given this city a sound business
adminstratio ton. That Is what would advocate
II I should be nominated for Mayor. and II elected
that is the kind Of an administration I would
give the city. TWO things ! would use all my
efforts 10 secure for BrOoklyn-better school
facilities and better streets. am proud OF our
Brooklyn school system, but we lack SUFFICIENT
