to explain TO the prospective subscribe

OF votes credited, and the advantage
gained by giving big one. The regu-
lar schedule provides that the candi-

two-year subscription for the Daily
and Sunday paper. This subscription
will count for $4,000 votes If turned In
before 10 o'clock Saturday night. In
other words. one new two-year sub
scription under the Double Vote Offer
gives the same advantage in votes as
two two-year subscriptions give under
the regular vote schedule. The
Double Vote Offer applies to all new
subscriptions. and not Just to those

scriptton costing Si.25 entities the
candidate to 5000 votes, instead OF
1.5oo votes. and 81 subscription for

The Administrative Board yesterday
waded through a docket Of minor
matters. The only thing worth men
tioning was the fact that the Tir-

for patients to be operated upon. The
roller chair makes the patient feel
more comfortable before ne submits
himself to the knife or whatever the
experts feel disposed to submit him
to. The proposition was referred to

Analyses Tumu1ty's Statement.
Father Tjerney returns to the an
alysis OF Secretary Tumulty's defense
by quoting Mr. Tumulty that there
is no Official record OF the dastardly
crimes against sisters on file in the
State Department.
What. them" demands the writer.
does the absence OF such record
disprove the crime? Again, was there
ever such record there? If so, what
has become Of It? II it was not there.
why not! The crimes were committed
several times. Authentic records of
them are on file in other ofYices."
Father Tierney asks what sort Of
gertrude Secretary TumnIty demands
IL he rejects the evidence offered nv
God fearing persons. Thereupon he
pays his respects once more to the
Carranzista of cassock and uniforn,
the Very Rev. Antonio +. Paredes,
the Roman Catholic vicar-general of
the archbishopric Of Mexico CITY.
whose statements were offered by
Secretary Tumulty as one Of the
strongest of proofs that the charges
of outrages were baseless or exarrer-
ated.
Denounces Paredes
"Ah. but there's Father Paroles"
continues Father Tierney. Father
Paredes, an appointee Of Carranza.
There he Is, jumping from cassock to
Carranzista uniform and offer;ns
evidence that Is as far from the point
at issue as disloyalty to duty Is from
loyalty thereto. Traitors are scarce
ly competent to testify for the insti-
tuition they betray Neglecting the
character Of the witness. rather
Paroles and his testimony may now
be dismissed with that gentleman's
significant reference to his accession
to power. 4 have had occasions to
personally interest myself in all the
religious matters OF the arch diocese
since August Is. 1914. the date of the
entry of the constitntionalist forces
into the city"
Father Tierney denies explicitly and
in much detail Secretary Tumulty's
general statement that General Car
rama has guaranteed freedom OF
worship in Mexico.
Father T!erney finds from many
sources that the respect for religious
belief. and for liberty Of conscience
which Secretary Tnmulty mentions as
characteristic of Carranza are really
hiasphenly. the expulsion OF priests.
the conversion Of churches into halls,
and schools, and the denial of the con-
ISOLATION of religion TO the people.
7 have not imputed and do not i'm.
pute to Mr. Tumulty had faith" con-
tinues Father Tierney. NOR suppress
sion of facts nor anything of that
kind My concern Is with the mental
and religious aspects Of his letter as
ii stands"
