Mr. Curran, as the organization candi-

La Guardia to Film Disorder.
+. Fl. La Guardia. President OF the
OF Mr.. Curran. announced he had ar
ranged to get motion pictures OF any
disorder or any attempt TO hold up the
voting at the polls. He had enlisted the
aid OF the Fox Film Corporation and
the International News. which would
rush camera men to the scene OF any
trouble. The International News is
Hearst organization. On Saturday the
American Peoples League. which origi-
nally had indorsed Judge Reuben L. Has

port to La Guardia. 1t was charged that
Haskell had promised the league of

censorship. but had failed to give satis-
faction along that line.
Il have given instructions to every
leader" said Mr.. Koenig, that he must
visit every polling place in his district
and instruct the inspectors OF elections
to see to it that every candidate, be he
Republican or Democrat. gets q
square deal.
Each leader must see to 1t that not
one OF his district captains leaves the
polling place until all the votes are
counted for both sides.
They must see to IL that all four in
spectors count each ballot"
In previous years some OF the cap
tains would leave early, not caring what
might be done later. 1t was a common
practice for the inspectors to split up the
ballots and let the Republicans count the
republican ballots and the Democratic
inspectors the Democratic ballots. Then
the four would sign the returns.
Curran Issues strong Plea.
Mr.. Curran Issued personal appeal
20 the enrolled Republicans to cast their
votes to-day. 1t reads.
The arguments are in. and tomorrow
the jury OF 5000 enrolled Republicans

select the candidate to lead the fight
Tor good city government this fall
nope that each man and woman enrolled
IN our party will clearly appreciate and
accept the responsibility that primary
LAY brings. The man we select will be
our Mayor for four long years Remenl-
Der that He will have to manage a city
of 100000 people--a great big cooper
atfve business. employing $4,000 men
and women and costing a million dollars
day. To vote on Tuesday IL not mere
y a matter Of good citizenship. 1t is a
necessity.
I'VE should remember, after ALI that
these primaries are really the beginning
Of our job this fall The real task is to
put New York city government back on
Is feet again Mayor Hylan must GO
His inability to grasp even the simplest
problems of municipal government as
veil as the incompetence and greed OF
hose whom he has appointed to office

Hand still. We have got to go ahead.
During this primary campaign have
llways kept before me this object, and
hope my fellow Republicans will not
.orget 1t now"
United States Senator William NJ
Calder made a strong appeal for Curran
He said:
In my Judgment Major Henry H.
Curran should be nominated for Mayor
in the Republican primaries II the prcs-
ent administration Is to be defeated.
After a thorough canvass OF the entire
city, representatives duly chosen by the
Republican county committees selected
Major Curran because OF his splendid
record as member OF the Board of AL
dermen. City Magistrate and President
OF the Borough OF Manhattan.
AS man sure TO appeal TO every
opponent OF Tammany he did not push
himself into the fight for the nomination.
