MAYOR DUNE TALKS.
Mayor Dunno professcd more inter-
est in New Nork's election than I'm the
battle OF the ballots I'm his own city.
He said last night;
whether Nh Hearst was elected or
defeated the issue was so close that IL
demonstrates the tremendous hold
which the municipal ownership senu-
ment has upon the people OF this coun-
try
There was no acute situation I'm
New York as there was IN Chicago
arising from the fact that the fran
Chises for public utilities had expired
in this city. In Chicago we have been
fighting renewals of franchises that
have been giving scandalously inde-
cent service from the companies whose
franchises have expired. I'm New York
no such situation exists. The situa-
ton there was not so acute as TO eX-
cite the people. and the result is Il
wonderful proof of the widespread
sentiment that municipal ownership
Of public utilities soon must be adopt
ed"

20 two causes. In the first place there
was no living, vital issue The candi-
dates were persuaded to eliminate mu-
nicipal ownership and run on their own
personality, Secondly, there were some
unfortunate discussions among the
Democrats. The county is normally
Republican; the sanitary district IS
normally Republican, II the Democrats
had injected a little more municipal
ginger into the campaign believe they
would have elected their ticket
