New York, Sept. 17.-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 Wednesdays 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 Fusion
ticket, headed by Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell, and the Tammany ticket,
headed by Judge John F. Hylan as
the candidate for mayor.
The term "fusion" doesn't amount
to much, it is admitted, because the
publican, and the Hylan ticket is
straight Democratic. Outside of
purely local issues and others that
may be raised by the war, the fight is
TO be primarily between the Demo
cratic and Republican organizations
Of Greater New York, and there are
admittedly a lot of "soreheads" on
both sides.
Judge Hy1an, the Tammany- picked
candidate for the mayoralty, prom
Uses to be picturesque figure in the
campaign. Forty-nine years old and
full of "pep," he promises to give the
metropolis lively campaign of the
good, old-fashioned sort. The Judge
is self-made man and proud of the
job. He was born on a farm and
worked as a section hand on rail-
road upstate. Then he came down
to the city, got a job on the old
Brooklyn 81" 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 constitu-
tional law in that institution, was one
of his instructors. He ran his en-
CINE on the 81" road at night and
studied by day. When he got his
degree he went into practice in
Brooklyn, and was eventually elected
county judge, polling 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 daughter.
John p Mitchell, the fusion" can
didate for reelection to the mayor
atty, will have on his side all the anti
Tammany elements of the electorate.
Mr.. Mitchel's chief asset as a candi-
date will be the record of his admin
istration since he became mayor in
January, 1914.
The city probably never has had

more efficient, economical and states
manlike a government, since the days
of the civil war, than it has had under
the new charter with the reform"
element in power.
Mr.. Mitchell is of a 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
Fordham College, then studied law at
Columbia University, and not long
after his admission to the bar had a
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 financial problem, became
president of the board of aldermen,
and there remained four years.
Then followed a 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 candi-
date for the anti-Tammany forces to
nominate for the mayoralty in 1913,
and he was elected when the people
had an opportunity to pass judgment
on his fitness. 1t is generally con-
coded that he has met most of the OBJ
legations of his office with ability and
poise. He has kept the standards
of administration high and estab-
lished marked precedents of good
government.

 There are now 15 children in the home; four boys and II girls, rang ing in age from three to 12 years.

The original suit was for $l5,000.
 Consent judgments also were given against the Iron Mountain, aggre- gating $1,00O, in favor of T. E. Mad den, negro administrator of the es- tate of L. M. Madden and Merkia Madden, who were killed at cross ing a mile north of Conway on Feb ruary IS.

dS dloTc ------- 31 io,OSf.Ol We now divide this amount by the number of acres in the district, that IS, 14O,112.00 by 77.840 equals $1.SO, which divided by 20 payments shows total net cost per acre of 9 cents.
 Under the laws the district cannot spend more than shown above (and in my opinion your road can be built for less) then as the assessment must take into consideration the value of improvements and the tax levied ac- cording to the benefits received the cost may be reduced, possibly as low as 8 cents per acre averages.
 The laws also require construction bonds of the contractors of double the contract price, so you see if the work is once begun it will have to be com pleted.
 Hoping this clearly conveys to you the cost of the proposed improve ment, l am, yours truly,

HEARING DEFERRED
 ON ROAD PETITION HIGHWAY HEAD PRESENT
Commissioner Owen Urges ObjectOrs to RecOnsider-Says Government
 Will Give $1O,OOO.

Thirty-one signers of the original petition for the formation of an i'm provement district for the purpose of building a surfaced road from Conway to Saltillo, a distance of 9.07 miles, appeared before Judge E. L Smith this morning to ask that their names be taken from the petition. No reason for their action was given to the court. The hearing on the original petition was reset for April 23.
 w. B. Owen, chairman of the state highway department, attended the meeting this morning, held in the of flee of County Clerk John Reeves, and made a short address, urging those who asked that their names be strick- en from the original petition to re- consider their actions. MT. Owen has just returned from a business visit to Washington, D. C., where he went to secure information in regard to the federal aid for state roads. He said that he could insure the people that the government would allow $10,000 toward building the Conway Saltillo road, leaving only $31 ,976 for the tax payers to expend. This amount would reduce the tax on each acre about two cents, or from nine to seven cents, it is said.
 Although the opponents of the or ganization stated no reasons for be- ing against the proposition at todays meeting, one large landowner in the proposed district told reporter that they are afraid of unequal assess ments. Also it is said some object on the ground that property farther from Conway will be assessed less than that near here, which they be- lieve is unjust.

AUDITOR TURNS DOWN
 FARM SCHOOL CLAIM
Agricultural Institutions Must Wait Two Years to Spend Proceeds of
 Farm Products.

Little Rock, March 22.-State Au- ditor Hogan Oliver has declined to issue state warrant on voucher from the board of the Magnolia ag- ricultural school, drawn on the farm fund of the school. The warrant was for $500, and was to apply lon error on five cars of brick" The brick was used in the construction of school buildings some time ago.
 Auditor Oliver took the ground that there was no specific apprSpria- tion under which he could legally is sue the warrant. He consulted At torney General Arbuckle and was there informed that not only could this voucher not be paid, but that all warrants issued on the fund in the past two years were illegal.
 The assembly of 1915 required all the agricultural schools to bay into the treasury the receipts from the products of the farms. This was to go into a separate fund for the bene- fit of the schools. The legislature then attempted to re-appropriate the money SO that it could again be drawn, the object being merely to keep a check on the schools, but in this it failed. The appropriation, ac- cording to Attorney General Ar. buckle, must be specific in dollars and cents. The legislature having no way of estimating the amount, could not

 When the appropriation bill for the agricultural schools was under dis cussion in the senate this feature was objected to, under the assumption that it tied up the funds for two years, but rather than see the bill killed, the friends of the schools per- mitted it to pass without amendment.

Conway Engineer Submits Figures on Average Cost Per Year of
 Conway. Vil0nia Road.

That the Conway-Vilonia highway may be constructed at an average cost of nine cents per acre per year to the farm lands within the district in the statement of B. G.

Wilson states, and if this is divided into 20 annual payments the average per year will be nine cents an acre. He gives this as the maximum, and says the cost may not exceed eight cents per acre.
 As he has had numerous other in- quiries regarding the proposed road, MT. Wilson kindly furnished the Log Cabin Democrat with a copy of his letter to MT. Simpson, in order that others interested might have the benefit of his estimate. His letter follows:
