THE HUB CAMPAIGN
Today Boston Will Elect the Demo-
cratic Candidate

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-The municipal
campaign closed tonight with rallies by
the supporters of all three of the lead
ing candidates. and tomorrow the 100000
or more electors will choose a mayor
seven aldermen, eight members of the
school committee, street commissioner
for three years, and three councilmen
from each ward. The candidates of the
two leading political parties are the same
as two years ago, Mayor Quincy head
ing the Democratic ticket, while ex-
Mayor Edwin U. Curtis is the candidate
of the Republicans for the third term.
The disturbing factor in the campaign
has been the candidacy of Thomas Riley
who is running on the Bryan Democratic
ticket and his campaign, which has
been strongly antagonistic to Mayor
Quincy has been conducted with great
vigor by several young politicians. The
campaign has been marked by its intens-
ty of feeling, especially on the part of
the Riley supporters, whose onslaughts
bitter.
AS the election of Mr.. Riley is consid-
cred out Of the question, the contest ap-
parently depends upon how many votes
he can draw from the regular Democrat
ic candidate. Although the city gave
Republican majority at the state cleo
ton last month, the registration has
been heavily Democratic, and it is nor
mally of that tendecy.

LUETGERT'S ATTORNEY
Paid With Notes Forged by the Pris-
oner's Son

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Arnold G. Luet-
CERT admits that he forged a name to
notes amounting to $450o, turned them
over to William A. Vincent and victim
lied others 70 the extent of over $1,000.
Arnold Luetgert is the son of Adolph L.
Luetgert. now on trial charged with
numbering his wife, and Attorney Vim
cent was the chief counsel for the sau-
sage maker during his first trial. The
lawyer withdrew from the case when he
realized that he had been deceived, and
when the story that he had been an easy
victim to young Luetgert was first sug-
sested endeavored to suppress the de-
tails. He finally admitted that the
young man had told him of having
forged Endorsements on three notes and
deposited them with him to secure his
fee in the murder case, and Luetgert
himself, in the presence of witnesses,
corroborated the story.
Arnold Luetgert laughed when It was
suggested that trouble might come of
his free use of signatures not his own.
and said that he considered it a good
joke on Attorney Vincent

tional organization of manufacturers,

building Mr.. Cranp deplored the
growth of English influences in this
country. He said: English ideas and
doctrines penetrate every walk of life
and every branch OF activity In the
United States. At no time prior to the
Declaration Of Independence, during the
colonial period, was our moral and intel
lectual subsection to Great Britain SO
complete as 1t Is now. In my judgment,
this relation between England and our
country forms the greatest underlying
cause Of prevailing financial and indus
trial conditions here, and more parttc-
ularly in the shipbuilding industry.
American statesmen and Journalists
seem to wait expressions OF British
views on any subject connected with our
national existence or attitude before
making up their minds"
