The Mail Man.
In days Of old the Mail Man brought
A lot of bills and such;
lot of ads which aimed to put
Your bank account IN dutch.
You cared not for the Mail Man then
At least, not very much.
But many a woman eyes him now
With many a hopeful glhnce
And many a woman sees him pass
And wonders If, by chance,
There might be something in his sack
From over there in France.

William G.. Osborn
Assails Whitman
And G.. r. Murphv

William Church Osborn, candidate
for Governor in the Democratic pri-
maries against Alfred E. Smith, Presi-
dent of the New York Board of Alder
men, yesterday attacked both Governor
Whitman and Charles +. Murphy, say
ing they have been looking at their re-
spective political machines so closely
that they have become "nearsighted
He asserted that New York State i,
not dong as much as it should for the
war and that Murphy has been run
ming the state political machine so long
that he thinks he owns it,
Il THINK the campaign has shown one
hing that the people of the state
really want, and that is that they want
the officials intrusted with power to
carry out the war powers of the state"
said Mr.. Osborn: "They don't care for
the machine politics of Whitman and
Murphy. They want the state to pro-
duce a definite result for the war.
Governor Whitman, of course, is a diff
ferent man from Murphy, but they've
got one thing in common-thev have
been looking at the machine so CLOSELY
that they have both become near
sighted.
II have pointed out four ways in
winch the state can help in the war

81 don't think Mr. Murphy has any
ideas about any Of those things. 1t
takes $40 to buy as much food this wear
as you could buy for 50 year ago.
Probably you could have bought the
same food two years ago for $S. After
lot Of work we got Department Of
Markets for this city last year. and
when the appointecs TO the places
under it are scrutinizcd it is discov-
cred that they are all district leaders
or po1,ticn workers. am referring to
the market under the direction of Mr..
Day.
"Thc most important thing to my
mind is the care that we should be Civ
ing to the women employed in industry.
They are taking the places Of the men
and they should be looked after by the
stntc. The women in the civil service
know how much attention was paid to
them this last winter and they can
Judge how much attention they will get
from the state If Mr.. Murphy continues
TO control the stutc.

sided at the recent meeting of the or
ganizatior which indorsed Governor
Whitman for denomination, expressed
regret last night that this action had
been taken.
after hearing the explanation of
the spirit of the primary law by At
torney General Lewis tonight" said
Mr.. Boyer at a meeting of the organixa-
ton in the clubhouse in West Forty
have taken any action in indorsing any
candidate before primary day"
The Attorney General. with his rum
! ming mate, Deputy Attorney General
Alfred l.. Becker. addressed the en-
rolled Republicans who had gathered in
the club. Mr.. Lewis said the primary
law was being violated in spirit, if not
in fact, by indorsing Governor Whit
man or any other candidate before
primary day. lie pointed out that New
Jersey by statute specifically pro-
hibited the Endorsement of any candi-
dates before primary day.
And | believe the law in this state,
if it does not expressly prohibit such
acts, could be construed so as to make
such Endorsements violation of the
law said the Attorney General.
The Attorney General declared that,
if nominated for Governor and elected,
his first duty would be to recommend
that the primary law be modified and
the official party convention restored.
as we'll as to submit to the people of
the state a referendum on whether they
wanted the Legislature to ratify the
proposed "bone dry" Federal amend
ment.
| Deputy Attorney General Becker,
who followed Mr.. Lewis, evoked con-
siderably applause in telling of the
successful efforts of the Attorney Gen
erals Office in uncoverng German
propaganda.
"When we entered the war various
agencies of the Federal government
were created or made more effective by
enlarging their stats for the running
down of German propaganda" said Mr..
Becker. "Yet Congress "a Demo-
cratic Congress, might add-neg-
lected to give any of these agencies
engaged in this important work power
to compel witnesses to testify.
"But the Attorney Generals office,
thanks to the foresight of Attorney
General Lewis, was enabled by means
OF the peace and safety act, which he
originated and drafted, to call upon
the government to compel these wit
nesses to testify, and in this way we
have been an arm of all the Federal
Secret Service bureaus"

"Fhe Suffolk County News" of Sayville,
and Charles F. Delano, of "The Amity-
Vile Record"
Coat lapel buttons inscribed ~ Do
Not Read Hearst Papers" were being
worn by large number of Long Island
citizens yesterday to give encourage
ment to the dealers. The anti Hearst
emblems are distributed by their orig
lnator, Lieutenant Claude w. Boynton.
76 William Street. New York City, who
passes them out at cost. The buttons
were gwen out on Long Island trains
Yesterday Mr.. Hoag announced that
citizens in his section Of the island
could procure them st the rate of one
cent apiece at THE Suffolk County
News" Office.
"The newsdcalers." said Mr.. Hoag,
cant help knowing how most of their
customers feel about the Hearst news
papers. In this section, for instance,
a committee of citizens has gone
around to the newsdealcrs not once
but number of times. asking them to
discontinue the sale of Hearst news
papers for the period of the war.
Every I Do Not Read Hearst Papers
button worn in Long Island will he an
encouragement to the Dealers
Mr.. Hoag and Mr.. Delano both have
printed number of editorials de-
uouncing Hearst since the growth of
the anti-Hearst sentiment in their
communities. Both refused to print
the advertisements which Hearst sent
broadcast to country papers in an
effort to counteract the feeling against
his publications.
"Thc majority of Sayvile citizens
not only do not want to read Hearst
papers themselves, but do not want
them IN their community" said Mr.
IIoag.
"They were willing to, first, because
their patrons desired it, and. second
because there was no longer niue!
profit in selling those papers. The
circulation Of Hearst papers here
abouts has fallen steadily until it i.
only a fraction of what it was.
In case of Concerted action among
the Long Island dealers, I am sure tht
vote among the local news vender
would be unanimous--to oust Hearst
And If the dealers take that step The
citizens, out of gratitude and pa
ttrlotlsm, will back them up to thu
limit"
In the current issue of "Thc News
Mr.. Hoag said editorially:
Enquiry among local newsdcaler!
proves that the fight which mas beer
waged for some months past by loya
newspapers. backed up by the loya
people of this country, against th'
Hearst publications., is bearing goot
fruit. Locally the circulation of tn,
New York American and journal has
fallen to a mere fraction of what they
formerly had, and more and more self
respecting people are hcsitating to b,
seen reading the publications.
"'Thc News looks forward to tim,
in the not distant future when ,
stranger will be unable to buy cop,
of n Hearst paper in Sayvillc and whcI
our home folk will have no inclination
to purchase one"

BYNG!
Ger black and bloody battlefields
The bombshells burst and boom,
While barrages stroll back and forth
And batteries belch doom.
Yet DER the bedlam boiling there
Fair hope still hangs serene.
We catch her vagrant promise
Of fairer future scene.
When a billion guns are believing
Along the surging line
And Byng begins Arranging

The blaring bugles then will sound
Where brave battalions bare
Their bayonets, athirst for blood,
To hoist the Hun in air.

In fierce ALTERATION.

Will hear the Boches' whine
