NEW YORK'S MAYORALTY FIGHT

New York, September lS-Political
leaders in Greater New York gave
final instructions to their lieutenants
In the campaign today; candidates
closed their speaking tours and the
lines were drawn tight for the voting
In tomorrow's primaries, which Is to
determine the complexion of the bal
lots in the municipal election in No
vember
The campaign is going to be a
straightout fight between the Fusian
ticket, headed by Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell, and the Tammany ticket,
leaded by Judge John F. Tylan as the
candidate for mayor
The term fusion" doesn't amount
to much, it is admitted, because the
Mitchell ticket is overwhelmingly Re-
publican, and the Hylan ticket is
straight Democratic. Outside of pure
ly local issues and others that may
be raised by the war, the fight is to
be primarily between the Democratic
and Republican organizations of
Greater New York, and there are ad-
mittedly a lot of "soreheads' on both
sides
Judge Hylan, the Tammany- picked
candidate for the mayoralty, promises
to be picturesque figure in the cam
paign. Forty-nine years old and full
of pep he promises to give the me-
tropolis lively campaign of the good,
old-fashioned sort. The Judge is a
self-made man and proud of the job.
He was born on a farm and worked
as a section hand on a railroad up
State. Then he came down to the
city, got a job on the old Brooklyn
IL" road as fireman, and worked
his way to that Of engineer. While
thus employed he studied law at New
York University. President Wilson,
then professor of constitutional law
in that institution, was one Of his in
structors. He ran his engine on the
AZ road at night and studied by day.
When he got his degree he went in
to practice in Brooklyn, and was
eventually elected county Judge, poll
ing tremendous vote.
Judge Hylan says he is for the war,
stands back of the President, and
thinks we ought to stay in the war
until we reach an honorable peace.
He is married and has a daughter.
John P. Mitchell, the fusion" candi-
date for reelection to the mayoralty,
will have on his side all the anti
Tammany elements of the electorate,
with the exception of the Socialists,
who intend to run and support Nor
ris Hillquit. Mr.. Mitchels chief as
set as candidate will be the record
Of his administration since he became

The city probably never has had a
more efficient, economical and states
manlike government, since the days
of the civil war, than it has had I'M
der the new charter with the reform"
element in power
Mr.. Mitchell Is of well-known Irish
family, his father having played an
important role in the early efforts of
Ireland to obtain home rule. The lad
grew up in New York, went to Ford
ham College, then studied law at Co.
lumbia University, and not long after
his admission to the bar had year of
experience in the office of the city's
legal department
In 1907 Mr.. Mitchell was named as
commissioner of accounts by his pre-
decessor in the office of mayor, and,
after holding this place for two years
and mastering much of the city's in
-, tricate problem, became president Of
the board of aldermen, and there re-
- 'ned four years
Then followed brief term in the
Federal service as collector of the
port of New York. His character, his
racial Affiliations, his knowledge of
the technical side Of his problem, If
elected made him natural candidate
frr tn anti-Tammany forces to NOM
I'M, for the mayoralty in 1913, and
he was elected when the people had
an opportunity to pass judgment on
his fitLess 1t is generally conceded
that he has met most Of the obliga-
tons of his Office with ability and
poise. He has kept the standards OF
administration high and established
marked rrecedents of good govern
llent.
