more than half the population is of for

thing else how New York city stands in
the matter of loyalty a this critical
time in the nations history.
Mayor Mitchell. who is seeking re-
election has been firm in his support
Of the government throughout the war
and has done much to suppress pro
German activities here where German
intrigue is rife He will have the votes
OF those who are loyalty American. In
the last days of his campaign Mitchell
is demanding straightforward state
ments from his opponents on the loyalty
issue.
FIylan. the HearstTammany Dem

Up the flag in an effort to distract at
tention from his alleged mistakes.
Mitchell has talked many times at length
on the accusation and has asked Hylan
TO debate the points with him, but the
invitation to debate has been ignored.
SO important has the loyalty issue
become in the campaign that the race
has come to be regarded BY many as
completely between Mitchell and Hill
