New-York tribune., 1921-11-07

iS2l. during the last year, with Elec-
ton Day approaching. Hylan has
opened dozen more new school build
lngs. But every one of these schools
was built with money that the preced-
ing administration had appropriated
for school buildings, and which Hvlan
1cund waiting for him when he took
office ''0N
William Randolph Hearst can best
answer whether or not Hylan has
eliminated boss rule from our CITY
government. / shall let Hoey and Sab
oatlno, oad who have made nearly $1,000
900 out of dock privileges in the last
three years, and O'Malley, who made
the motto Of the Markets Department
Tor money you get honey tell us how
Hylan has dealt with graft and dis
honesty IN the city departments. There
are no terminal markets and Hylan
mas put into effect no plan for gar
bage disposal other than the award
ing of few juicy contracts for dump
ing the e, clty's waste at sea. What
would Hylan have done if he had not
had the ocean? What would New York
have done?
Instead Of driving the Gary system
out of the public schools Hylan put
in its place his vicious system of
double session. Nearly 100000 chill
dren are now getting what education
they can out of the sHearst-Hylan
double session plan, under which they
60 in and out of school at all hours.
This system the children call crazy
time Hyan is driving the bows and
girls of this city into the mill and the
factory because he is denying them
fair opportunity for an education.
Has No Transit Plan
THE third count in the indictment
against Hylan is that he hac TODAY
no constructive plan for getting better
rapid transit for fve-cent fare in
New York City. He promises court ac-
ton against any plan that may be pro-
posed, and he pledges himself to con-
tinue fight for fve-cent fare that
so far has resulted in nothing except
the abolition OF free transfers. But
he offers no constructive idea CT his
own. AS in that secret deal with
Shonts, Hylan expects to take his or
ders from Hearst.
THE fourth count in the Indictment
against Hylan is the record of incom-
petence and waste of his whole admin
istratlon. That record has added the
ugly word 'Hylanism' to the diction-
ary Of New York. Hylanism means the
breakdown in morale at Police Head
quarters under Enright. II means the
persecution Of Mrs Ellen O'Grady,
formerly Fifth Deputy Police Com
missioner, because in her effort to
drive out vice she interfered with
Enright's friends. IIylanism means
ment and graft in the docks. 1t means
inefficiency, unreliability and gem
eral Generalization extending through
out every city department.
''The fifth count in the ind ctment
against Hylan is the record of Hylan-
ism in the Board of Estimate. Hylan-
ism means pickering and squabbling
among those elected to govern the city
and its five boroughs. Hylanism means
tiscourtesy and insults from the board
to the citizens who have appeared be-
Estimate without policy, board
drifting amlessly, guided only by
Hearst and resporsible only TO him.
Hylansm means Board of Estimate
that has neglected the homes and the
schools. 1t means q Board of Est mate
that threw away more than 81 million
dollars in vain effort to build $40
100000 courthouse while our people
faced a terrible housing shortage. II
means Board of Estimate that played
politics even with such proposition as
the construction of memorial to the
men from this city who fell in France.
"The sixth count in the indictment
against Hylan is the shameless way in
which he has used the high Office of
Mayor of New York for his own per-
st nal and political advantage. He used
the Board Of Child Welfare. created
Wnder state law to help unfortunate
widows maintain their hQmes and keep
their children out of institutions, as a
political nightstick to scare these help
less women into supporting his can
didacy. He even had the ctfrontery to
obtain the addresses of these mothers
from Board of Child Welfare list, and
mailed each one OF them Il political
pamphlet praising himself and signed
by one Of the members of the board.
Under the guise OF a Board of Child
