New-York tribune., 1921-11-07

preceded the Marshal of France on his
first official trip through ,hc streets OF
New York. Hylan has even turned the
dedication of war memorials into politi-
cal pageant designed to boost his cam
paign. The opening of the one or two
schools that has taken place during his
administration has been used by Hylan
MS n crafty opportunity for vote catch
ing. Even the Police Department
signs prohibiting traffic from the play
streets for children are inscribed with
Hylan's name to fool people into think
ing that Hylan gave us these streets
that we bought and paid for ourselves
years and years ago.
"The seventh count in the indictment
against Hylan Is the fact that, with his
record Of broken promises staring him
in the face, with the utter failure of
his administration to meet single
emergency or single demand made
upon it by the people of the City of
New York, he is making campaign
this year on the same general scheme
of deception that he employed so sue
cessfully four years ago. He is at
tempting. once again, to fool the people
by promising seat for every child in
school, lower taxes, lower rents and the
elimination of the Hearst-Hylan crazy
stand for the Improvements: of our rapid
transit facilities and a tivccent fare
This is the pledge that Hylan faunts
every time anybody calls his attention
to the numerous instances Of misgov
ernment during the last four years.
"The fact is that, under Hylan there
is no real fve-cent fare. Owing to the
discontinuance of street transfers since
uylan took Office people are paying 10
and Is cents where they formerly
rode for a nickel. Instead of improving
and extending the service, Hylan has
blocked even the completion of existing
subway contracts.
"Thesc are some OF the counts in our
case against Hylan. These are the rea-
sons why we believe he should not be
allowed to get away with his demand:
Give me four years more to serve
Hearst, my master, as Mayor of New
York.
Curran's Platform
''As the head of the ticket opposed to
Hylanism, I have brought out these
outstanding facts in his record. Recog-
nizing, at the same time, that the
voters Of the City OF New York have
a right to know how l stood on the
various issues of the campaign, wrote

man or woman in New York. | have
outlined my program to improve hous-
ing conditions which viii eventually
cause reduction in rents. have given
you my plan for improving and extend
ing our rapid transit service for five
ceut fare. l have affirmed my couvic-
ton in the home rule principle that the
city is entitled to control over its local
affairs without any outside domination.
Il have plainly stated my readiness
and my intention Of fighting for that
principle. and Of fighting also against
any attempt to raise the fare. | have
given in detail MY school program, in
cludine my stand in favor of the Lock
Donohue Teachers Salary In
crease bill and my plan for financial
independence of the Board Of Educa-

years service in the work of the city
government. / am confident in the
Judgment of our people. In their
