LOCAL DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
ON NEW YORK ELECTION.

The result of the New York election
Tuesday, where Mayor Hylan was re-
elected by 41S,OOO plurality, greatly
pleased local Democrats, who see ma
tional victory ahead. George E. Bren-
nan, Illinois leader, said: ''The Demo
Gratis will elect a majority of the next
Congress. | see in the tremendous
reversal of New York City's plural
ity of 43S,000 for Harding last fall a
guarantee of certain Democratic sue
cess. The Republican party has lost
votes by its position on a soldiers
bonus bill and this is partly response
bic for this change, and the idea
emanating from Washington that the
present administration would effect
reduction in taxation, whereas no re-
duction has taken place, strength
ened the position of the Democratic
party"
Dennis j. Egan, popular leader of
the local democracy, was jubilant.
ut seems a great swing back to the
Democratic party, and means nothing
else," was Mr.. Egan's comment. THE
Democrats, after standing all the
criticism for national grievances that
came up during the Harding cam
paign, have simply let the country see
that the Harding administration could
work out no improvement.
president Harding carried New
York a year ago by 437,471 votes.
Mayor Hylan's victory Tuesday means
an actual gain of over 100000 votes
for the Democrats in New York"

Back From Soviet Prisons

Astounding reports of conditions
In soviet Russia are given in state
ment by Capt. Emmett Fitzpatrick of
Uniontown, Ala. who was captured
by General Budenny's cavalry COM
mand in October, 1920, while doing
Red Cross relief work and suffered
for more than nine months in soviet
prisons. Captain Fitzpatrick, under
twenty years sentence at hard labor,
was released August last through eff
forts of American relief missions in
Russia. He has returned TO the United
States.
Thousands of AuStro-Hungarian
prisoners of war, many of them taken
by the Russian armies in 1914, still
are held by the sOviets, Captain Kill

fast dwindling through death from
starvation. From figures obtained
from certain persons holding high of
fees in the soviet government, he
added, he cOnServatively estimated the

There will be no increase in the

announced by the Milk Producers

show only very slight increase over
October, so slight that it will not af-

AN INTERESTING CONTEST.

The American manufacturers can
not be surpassed by any other cOun-
try in the world in their undated
efforts to stimulate all inside factors
constantly to more perfect and more
efficient work To illustrate this as
sertion we may report the contest
which is now in full swing in the well
known establishment of Joseph Triner
Company, manufacturers of Timers
Bitter Wine and other popular Triner
remedies, in Chicago. At the banquet
given by the firm to all employees on
Monday night, October 81, 1921, the
president of the company, Mr.
Joseph Triner, announced prizes
which will be allotted to all employees
who will contrive new valuable sug-
gestions whereby production or bust
ness methods could be improved,
whereby saving of time or work could
be established, and whereby the eff
cheney in whatever branch could be
increased Only the managers are
excluded from the contest. The an
nouncement was greeted by great en-
thusiasm of all employees, and there is
no doubt that the results of the con-
test will be very important for the
further evolution of the establishment
of the Joseph Triner Company.
