ADVICE TO ,METZDCRF.
The Voice of Union Labor Protests
Against His Helping Horst,

A6NAHSt I1clplhS HORST.
There has been good deal Of ugly com
ment on the reason for the candidacy of
Peter Metzdorf on the Scannell ticket That
1t is part of deal between Metzdorf and
Horst there is no room for doubt in the minds
of people who are familiar with the opening
Of his campaign. 1t is generally understood
that the entire Scannell ticket was put in
the field as AID to the Republicans, but
the move is cutting both ways, and even the
Republican organ that has given the candi-
dates and their ticket the only publicity they
have secured is beginning to see that they
have oyershot the mark, ard that Erwin and
his push will. IL permitted to remain in the
field until election day, get more Republican
than Democratic votes.
An order was issued yesterday from Re-
publican headquarters to the effect that the
''bcosting'' of the Republican organ must be
tempered little.
The Metzdorf candidacy is singled out from
the rest Of the ticket. because 1t Is aimed
directly at the support Of McNamee among
the labor unions. Metzdorf is not trying for
Republican votes or any other sort of vote,
but wants enough of the union labor strength
to interfere with McNamee.
He has now been officially notified by the
union labor people that he must quit.
Whether Metzdorf will take the warning or
stand by Horst is yet question. He viii
probably quit for if he does not 1t is likely
that Sheriff Wagner and some others will
feel constrained to make this personal
fight.

We question if the most ardent advo-
cate of the municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities, who has come in contact
with the one example Of the applica-
ton OF his theory in our city, the
board of water works, has not had TO
question himself if, after all. public
ownership is the nice thing his fancy
has pictured. And most of us have tn
get in touch with that institution at
least once a year. He finds the touch
as hard as steel, as unsympathetic as
Ice and as absurd in some of its
methods as could be devised if mas
tiers of the absurd had set themselves
to the task of devising plans. The
migratory class, the homeless men who,
live In houses others have built and
own, are particularly made the vic.
tins of stupidity that is marvellous
When one Of these, who has maid bis
water rent, changes his place of resi-
dence. he finds it necessary to have
the water turned on in his new place
or domicile. He may find that some
preceding tenant has left an unpaid
charge and is told that it must be maid
before the water will be supplied. Pro
testing that he has no interest in the
matter. he is told that the charge Is not
against the man, but the realty. He
can't have the water until it is paid
thus making the incoming tenant the
collector of the debt due from the de-
parted one.
Again the traditional moving day is
May 1. The water leases run from,
January to July or from March to
September. The moving tenant has
paid his water rent until July 1. He
innocently thinks that he can have
this payment credited to him and
transferred from one house to the other
He cannot understand why he must
