Doors in the rear of Keen's place not

have been forced open by thieves and
that they set the place on fire. The
police however, place little credence
in this story and say they bTsise open
the doors as soon as the blaze was dis
covered.

Police Commissioners Jones aud
Bowers, in replying TO the criticism
resulting from the awarding by the
Board of the contract for uniforms
for the police to an outside concern,
said today, that they had no alterna-

ordinances, page No. 9S7, sets forth
that bids must be asked for for goods
and supplies in amounts over $50, and
that the contract shall be awarded to
the lowest and best bidder. There is
such a wide difference in the bS1s, they
said, that they could not do other than
what they did.

THOMPSON YELPS
BECAUSE WE'VE
GOT MOST men
JAKE HAARER.
''Politics" Cry Laid to Fact ID.
p. w. Has $500 Employees,
Assessors Only 35
COMMISSIONER DENIES
CONTROLLING VOTES
Says, Though, That Every Dem
ocratic Office Holder is
Plugging for Mayor

The only reason Mayor Thompson
and his crowd are complaining that
the department OF public works Is
playing politics is that We have more
men than they have" said Commis-
sioner Haarer. Wednesday. "Will
they deny that the Thompson ap-
pointes are playing politics? On reg
istration days three or four employees
, in this department intended to serve
as clerks in the booths. pulled them
OF and told them they would have to
stay on the city job. Nearly every
Democratic clerk In the city asses
sors' oflce was out In the booths,
hustling for Thompson. The only
reason they're yelling is because
have $500 men In this department
and they have only 80 In the asses
sors ONCE and they would like my
department as well as the assessors
office. II would make reelection for
Thompson much easier.
The cry that this department Is
playing politics, coming from the
Democratic side, Is hypocritical.
There Is not Democratic offlce-hold-
er appointed directly or Indirectly by
Thompson who Is not out plugging
for him. Only recently Assessor
Nagel, Thompson's campaign man
ager. was quoted as saying that mas
much as the Democratic clerks in his
department have soft snaps they
ought to get out and work for the
head OF the ticket. / have never said
amy such thing TO my men. ! have
never intimated to them In word or
deed that they should or must get out
and work for any particular candidate.
The men In this department have
political affiliations, 1t Is true, but
they don't play the game of politics
10 the detriment OF city business.
considered this depart
ment has done a lot OF good work and
gets dollars worth of work for
every dollar expended.
You can Say that Oscar b. Marx
never intimated TO me OF promised
me that IL elected he would reap
point me commissioner. ] don't blame
the men employed in this department
for doing outside OF work hours,
what they can to defeat Mayor
Thompson. He plays the game OF
politics just as thoroughly and con-
tinually as he has brains TO do so. He
has never hesitated to smear this de-
partment, and his many attacks and
their outcome show that his motive
has been one of politics. Thompson
is Just itching to get control of this
department with its $500 or more
men, and then-as for the game OF
politics, he will play it stronger thar
II ever was played before. This de-
par.ment will be the football of Dem
ocratic politicians. 1t will be prime
factor in the local Tammany that he
and his crowd are attempting TO
establish In this city.
THE person who says the men OF
this department are neglecting their
work to play politics is lying. 1t is ror
the people to say whether they want
TO keep control of this department or
put il under the domination OF a petty
Democratic Tammany to make 'sof.
snaps for their henchmen, the same
as they have admittedly done In the
assessors Office"
