ssD WARD BUcK-HAZEN FIGHT
GETTING RAW

dl DluuCCu w GILL I4AcNA "4AGNS
Harry Atwood, assistant city at
torney and City Hall spokesman,
called Aid. Robert NJ Buck at
luncheon of the Woman's Thompson
Republican club of Austin, opening
the campaign for Hazen.l
Joe Holpuch, contractor and bank
er, member of the board Of educa-
ton, was on the job, too. He said
Aid. Bucks work in the. city council
has all been pretty coarse and the
elective school board bill will never
pass the legislature.
On the other hand, the 33d Ward
Woman's Independent Political club
takes a different view of Aid. Buck.
They say come to look him over~on
his record of what he's done, Buck
is a long ways from being PIN
head. Their statement:
'He has been in the thick of every
council fight against graft and in
efficiency; against cOmmercialized
vice, and for a stricter regulation of
the liquor traffic. He has stood fO1
the human side Of things as opposed
to financial greed; for the interest
of the consumer in all public utility
controversies; for impaTtiality in the
policing of labor disputes; and for
the characterization of the public
school system and its establishment
on a rational basis, in line with the
best modern educational standards.
"The following is a partial list of
the specific matters he has worked
and voted for in the council:
can effective system of municipal
waste disposal and the permanent
elimination of the contractor.
prevention of the sale of liquor by
drug stores and in dance halls.

'Equipping of automobile trucks
with Tenders.
Exposure and prevention of paw
ing frauds.
Safeguarding of the consumers
interest in fixing new gas rates.
"a constructive program for the
reorganization of the Chicago school
system, including provisions for a
small elective school board, concen-
tration of administrative powers in
the hands of the superintendent and
permanent tenure for teachers dur
ing efficiency. This report, embody-
ing proposed state legislation, and
passed by the council under Mr..
Bucks leadership with but two OPP
posing votes, is conceded to be a
most notable contribution to educa-
tional thought"
A number of local improvements
such as better transportation and
waste collection are pointed to.

the statement are Mrs. James B.

| sign and return to me. If they will
do that l will find out what arrange
ments can be made for their trans
|
! immediate duty in Glass if they wish
| it. / think that we can take as many
as wish to come, but it will be well
| for them to act quickly.
Make the men understand that by
volunteering for Glass g they do not
lose the regular privileges of the
Naval Reserve. The only difference
is that they are used on battleships
instead Of in Coast Patrol work.
Harold Cairns, who enrolled in st.
Johnsbury Unit Number 1, has been
in here today, has volunteered for
believe he has written to all the mem-
bers of Unit 1, and suggested that
they do the same. OF course the
units may be broken up, in Class 2
as the men will be called independ-
emily as they are needed.
There is a possibility, however, thai
they might be called for duty on the
same battleship. If you please you
may tell all the st. Johnsbury mer
that they have the right to volunteer
in Glass 2, but any new men must
volunteer for Glass in order to be
accepted.

Mass Meeting for Women.

Plans are on foot for a patriotic
mass meeting of the women of ST.
Johnshury and vicinity in the inter-
ests of food preservation and conser-
vation. Prof. Bertha M. Terrill of the
University of Vermont will give an
address which will be both inspiring
and practical in showing women how
best to do their bit at this time of
national need.
Prof Terrill has been released from
her duties as head of the Home Eco
nomics department at the University,
ta stump the state, and st. Johnsbury
is fortunate in securing her for an
early date. Watch the papers for
more definite announcement later.
