Farmer Boy Set Out to Help Pay the Mortgage on Parents
Farm-Was Successfully Track Layer Locomotive
Fireman and Engineer, and Then Lawyer,
Magistrate and County Judge

work as a tracklayer on the Brooklyn
Elevated Railroad. a job which he held
unit! March of the following year. when
he was promoted to be fireman on the
same road. In those days steam loco
motives pulled the elevated trains in
both Brooklyn and Manhattan.
As a fireman John Hylan was a sue
cess, and along in the autumn of 1889
he was again moved forward He be-
came q locomotive engineer on the Il,
a position which paid a hundred dol
lars a month. That was prett, good
pay in those days, and. Notwithstanding
that he still sent remittances home, the
future Mayor Of New York felt atfluent
enough to get married Back near the
farm lived girl he had loved since
childhood She was a farmers girl,
and, like himself, Irish. Her name was
Marian O'Hara.
Getting brief leave of absence from
his duties in the engine cab, Hyian
made a flying trip up to.Greene County
and they were married. After the cere-
mony the pair returned to Brooklyn
and began housekeeping in a modest
two-family house in the Bushwick sec
ton. They still live in that section, II
in a more pretentious house, and the
girl who was Marian O'Hara is the
present Mrs. John F. Hylan. They
have one child, daughter, Virginia.
Married, but still locomotive engi-
neer, young Hylan began to think
about the future. He didn't want to
be working in a railroad cab all his
life. About this time something hap
pened which changed the whole course
Of his career. He had younger broth

ness men of Brooklyn. They set forth
that the municipal government Of New
York had already been organized IN It's
purely business aspects, and that a man
who had spent years IN the active fur
therance Of civic betterment projects
ard one who had studied them from all
sides would make better Mayor than
strictly business man. That is how
came to be designated as the Demo-
cratic nominee for Mayor"
Supported almost from the start Of
the campaign By William Randolph
Hearst and his papers, Judge Hylan
enters Office regarded by many as hay-
ing prot German leanings. This he con-
sistently denied during the campaign.
He has charged, in fact, that Mitchell
perforce raised the cry Of anti-Ameri-
canism and wrapped himself in the
American flag" having no sound issue
or which to make a fight for re
election.
Picked by Charles F. Murphy to
bring Tammany TO the City Hall again,

John F. Hylan, as he says with pride
is a plodder and plain man. lie has
red hair and a red mustache, and was
born forty-nine years ago on a small
farm up at Hunter, Greene County,
N. Y. He doesn't play golf, doesn't
dance, doesn't smoke or drink. As the
saying goes, he is self-made and proud
Of it. SUCCESSFULLY water carrier for
section hands, track layer, locomotive
fireman and engineer, then lawyer
magistrate and county judge, he did
not gather very much Of the worlds
goods. and he enters the Office Of Mayor
of New York rated poor man.
Back in the early '70s John Hyian,
was leading the life Of the typical up
state farmer boy, or, to be more exact
his lot was perhaps a little harder
than that of the average farmer boy,
for the Hylans were poor, and the farm
was small and not overly productive,
and as vas and still is the customary
up on the little farm in Greene County,
thing, it was heavily mortgaged.
In an effort to earn money to meet
mortgage payments, young Hylan first
sought work outside the farm. He was
then in knickerbockers, or-more prob
ably-in overalls. Husky even for O
farm-bred boy, he soon found work as
water carrier for section gangs doing
railroad work near the farm. At this
Job, as has been the case with almost
everything else he tackled since, he
made good A few years later he quit
and became a brakeman and fireman on
the Stony Cove & Catskill Mountain
and Kaaterskill railroads. He was then
about eighteen.
Helped Pay Mortgage
From his pay earned at the new Job
young Hylan was able to send money
home toward the mortgage payments;
but the job was lonesome and not es-
pecially to his liking, so about year
later he decided to come to New York.
Over the opposition Of members Of his
family, he came. That was in the win
ter of 1887. What he brought with him
in the way of luggage he himself re-
lates. This comprised the lot:
A working suit, Sunday" suit,
three shirts, some underwear. one pair
of shoes, hat. two pairs of overalls,
a tooth brush--and $3.50 in cash.
On the theory that he would feel more
at home where he had kin, he settled
in Brooklyn. Which means that he
walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and
began looking for a job.
Next day he landed one. Through
the influence Of a relative, he obtained

East Side Revels
In Election Fight;
Women Active
Even Children Plunge Into
Fight to Prevent
Bribery

The people Of the lower East Side,
where the Socialist issue boiled
most hercely, lived politics yester-
day.
Only about $4,000 were eligible to
vote, but nearly a million men. women
and children who live south Of Four
teenth Street and east Of the Bowery
took a.glorious excursion into the realm
Of politics. In the minds of many of
the earnest adventures yesterdays
was Americas first election-at least
its first cOlOssaliy sign ticant one.
The women particularly played an
unprecedcntedly important role in
their desire TO keep the election on
the East Side honest.
Even children were in the fight to
elect the Socialists. Speaking on Riv-
ington Street, one boy about ten said
from a soapbox: you might take So
now for your vote. and it will keep
you for two days, but if you do you
are going to suffer for the 1863 days
coming after"
The excited thousands appeared to
be waiting anxiously for some event
which would give an outlet TO all their
enthusiasm and suspicion and feeling.
This came late in the morning when
Jacob Panken, Socialist candidate for
Municipal Court Judge, the most
idolized local candidate on the East
Side. was arrested.
Mr.. Panken was apprehended for
trying to prevent the throwing out OF
Socialist watcher from the voting place
at Public School 90. Ridge and Broome
streets. The watcher had anGered the
other voting officials by refusing 70 lend
IN eraser TO a voter, and they resented
Panken's attempt to champion him. De-
spite the fact that he insisted he was u
candidate, Mr.. Panken was arrested by
Murray Stand, who said he was a
deputy United States revenue collector.
The news that Mr. Panken had beer
taken to Essex Market court quickly
spread over the East Side. He was in
court ten minutes after the trouble
started, and before he left the court,
which put the case off until $3.50 o'clock
in the afternoon, more than one thou
sand persons had gathered and were
cheering wildly outside the courtroom
for him. At 2:30 the case was post
poned until November II, 10 give him
a chance to continue to head the forces
of Socialist workers IN the East Side.
"Tammany has purchased to-day
about $500 votes" Mr.. Panken said last
night. an many election districts as
many as thirty votes have been bought
for So apiece. Tammany has brought
hundreds Of gangsters to the East Side
to tcrrorize the voters. Tammany
knows the Importance of this election.
The hoSses know that IL thew are beateu
now they are gone forever"
