Hearst for Mayor of New York.

Tammany is pretty smooth and
"Tam-man-ee' may be the author Of
tho scare about Hearst winning the
mayoralty of New York. Undoubtedly
Hearst has made distinct impression
in the campaign. He stands for mu-
nicipal ownership, and there are lots
of ownership men in all parties in New
York Mayor Mcclellan is moderate
ownership man. He has built and is
operating municipal ferries. He came
out before the legislature for a NUM-
cipal gas plant. Mr.. WINS, the repub-
lican candidate, has declared that if
elected he will condemn and confscate
the gas plants in New York and have
city gas. Hearst can do nothing but
out-Herod Herod in this field of as
pirants for popular favor. He favors
the principle of municipal ownership of
all public utilities. WINS and McClel-
Ian are for the seizure of certain monop-
olies in which private ownership has
not given public satisfaction. Between
the man who is for the principle and
the men who are for the policy, the
people are quite likely to take to- the
man whose platform is clear, simple and
consistent.
1t was this sentiment which carried in
Dunno in Chicago. The sentiment is not
so strong in New York because New
York has not suffered so severely from
bad service as Chicago. But it is there,
and the insurance revelations showing
the intimate relations between insur-
ance and great corporation managers
has served to intensity it. In their anger
at the men who have duped and de-
frauded, where shall the people turn !?
If they go to Mcclellan, they 90 to
Murphy, who would put price on New
York at any time. If they go to WINS,
they go to Odell, who cannot be trusted
in an emergency. A correspondent Of
the New York Times discusses the vot-
ers' dilemma. There is he says,
sonly one thing for me to do, and that
is to vote for William R. Hearst. I
have no faith in Mr.. Hearst. His pa
pers are an abomination to me. / have
no idea what kind Of a mayor Mr..

THE MAGAZINES

Individual or Government Control
Telling the story of the Railroad Rate in
the current MccIure's, Ray Stannard
Baker sees small hope for justice for the
small shipper as long as the power of the
railroad to fix rates remains in the hands
Of individuals. He says Of the present
situation:
dustry turnout the world. 1t is the regulator of
business. 1t holds the scales Of destiny. It de-
cides where cities shall be located, and how
fast they shall grow, it marks out in no small
degree the wheat ard areas. 1t sets bounda-
ries for the business of the coal miners OF ILL
nois as against those of Pennsylvania. 1t marks
definitely how far the lumber of washington
shall 90, 1t decides whether flour shall be manu-.
featured in Minneapolis or Buffalo, and whether
the chief export business in grain shall be done
at the port Of New York or at the port Of
New Orleans.
And the fact arising out of these conditions
the overwhelming fact, is that these enormous
powers, the control Of the very instrument Of
business destiny, Is in the hands of compaia-
the tool not to build up the nation properly, but
to fill their own pockets in as short q time as
possible.
Thanksgiving Day and FootbaH.-The
editor Of The World Today for November
comes to the defense of football as a
Thanksgiving Day sport. or rather to
Thanksgiving Day diversion. He says:
Are we then hypocrites2 Is Thanksgiving day
farce? 1t depends how we think gratitude
ought to be expressed. Athletic sports are GER
tainly out Of keeping with Decoration Day, with
Its sad and sacred memories But just as GER
tainly they are not out OF accord with Thanks
giving Day. Altho it smacks a little OF immod-
esty to assume to know what the Almighty likes
and dislikes, it certainly seems II he must
find something very acceptable in the elemental
happiness Of his creatures man does not
need to be miserable In order to be grateful. He
Is not necessarily ungrateful because he is hap
py. Even the Puritans killed the fatted turkey.
Particularly noteworthy in the World
Today for November are the illustrations,
which are unusually fine.

families-those families, many of which

Hearst would make. Yet I feel that he
is the only candidate for the mayoralty
for whom I can vote with any show
of self-Sespect and with any hope of
getting the city out of the hands of the
grafters and plunderers. -
Mr.. Hearst s candidacy thus appeals
to large body of Independent voters
in negative way There are. thou
sands who would be glad to. see both
the machines downed, and if they can
bring themselves to believe that Hearst
would make even a, tolerable mayor,
they would smite Messrs. Murphy and
Odell in a manner greatly to be adj
mired. Tammany has seen the posi-
bilities. and it is no doubt propagating
the idea that Hearst has a chance
against Mcclellan, and Twins has no
chance, the object being, Of course, to
draw the votes of regular republicans
from WINS to Mcclellan in order to
lay the ghost of Hearstism.
