For Borough President of Manhattan
we Iomrate Col. George Harvey"
Why Col Harvey for Borough Presi-
dent of Manhattan"
Because we think We would be doing
Mr. Harding favor II We kept Col.
Harvey very busy here"
THE report OF the committee will be
filed-with a very coarse file'
How about the committee on hous-
ing?"
The committee on housing has de-
c.ded that there will be no housing sit
uation by the time it finishes It's work"
How do you figure that?"
'"rhe honest householders will all have
been murdered by burglars and the
burglars will all be in Sing Sing"
Points on MayoraIty.
AT this point the chair recognizing
Brother Rellihan, the following ensued:
Mr.. President--'
Chair-"Do you wish TO nominate
candidate for Mayor. Brother Relli-
han?"
II do not. Mr. President: ! rise to
protest against these nominations. What
is behind all this talk Of another Mayor?
Is 1t traction trust propaganda. Mr..
President? Sounds suspicously like it
to a trained car. Listens just like an
editorial in the Subpay sun or a chapter
out of the Book of Job-Hedges.
I'VE don't need another Mayor. Mr.
President. We have one now and that
Is about all the tax rate will stand.
Besides. we never could hope TO get
another Mayor like John r. Hylan;
even his enemies-and he seems to have
a few in this Amen Corner-admit he
is in class all by himself.
Talk of class? Mr.. President. ave
have a Mayor now who is equally at
home operating trolley car on Staten
Island or exchanging pleasantries with
kings and queens (and two spots) in
the City Hall. And funny-why they
say even the Prince of Wales had to
laugh at our Mayor-at what the Mayor
said, I mean. And when he makes up
his mind. our Mayor can't be budsed
an inch: he's as solid as a block of
limestone.
MY distinguished friend. AIr. Craw-
ford. wants Mr.. La Guardia nominated
because he once was an aviator; why
Mr.. President, our present honored
Mayor can so up in the air quicker
than any man in the country.
'In conclusion. Mr.. President and
brethren. let me remind you, We had In
the old days a shine for nickel but
they abolished that; we had the nickel
now they talk OF abolishing our five
cent fare and they may do it. But
there is one thing that nothing can
change-neither the Legislature. nor
the Court of Appeals nor even the
Amen Corner can change John r.
Hylan. He is ana always will be oui
Five Cent Mayor. the only Five Cent
Mayor New York ever had.
After this a committeeman claimed
attention for the following
Member-"Mr. Chairman. the investi-
eating committee of the Amen Corner
investigating Investigations abroad 's
ready TO take up further deliberations"
Chair-"rhe Chair would like 20 ask
the speaker to tell us something or !ne
sentiment abroad concerning America III
world affairs"
Member-''The impression is quite
general that we would be playing a
larger part in world affairs II the Presi-
dents plans had taken Root earlier.
Chair--"The League of Nations is stu
going ahead. is it not?"
Member-"That isn't the impression
we got 1t seems TO be Lodged some
where between Pennsylvania avenue and
Geneva. and it's short of money
Chair-"Short of money!
Member-"Yes; at the last count last
week the treasurer of the league had 81
million piastres. Sc million swastikas.
8 million yen. II million kronen and
francs, but he said il he didn't get about
three thousand American dollars he was
afraid he would have to issue !. .. C.s
