that bring about reform in great cities or make permanent impressions on the pub lie mind. MT. Jerome interests New Workers and they like to read about his spectacular performances in the papers, but they do not attach too much serious ness to anything he says or does He has made many fiascoes. and many people would like to know just why he attempted to get notoriety for his office by interfer- ing in the Hannah Elias case and then dropping it so suddenly.
 His office has cost the city many thou sands of dollars more than any of it's pre- decessors, and yet he has made no bril- lint success as a prosecuting officer, and his assistants are not notable for their ability. His statement d few days ago that he would not be a candidate for mayor is amusing fer so far as can be ascertained he has not been offered nomination by any party. clique or or ganization and is not likely to be. No political party can count on .him; if he is renominated for district attorney it is just as likely to be by one party as the other, and his name will be used as vote-getting card with the Eastsiders, who see more in him than any other por- tion of New Yorks varied population. They like him because he has posed as their friend and has lived among. No matter what may be said or no matter what may be Mir. Jerome's shortcomings, he has a hold on the Eastsiders.
