Mrs. Parsons Switches From
La Guardia's Standard to
Borough Presidents.

Women Republicans are swinging into
line all over the city for Henry H..
Cuiran for the mayoralty nomination,
according to reportsreceived at his head
quarters last night
Mrs. James Russell Parsons. who Is
year, although she was a co-manager
Of the President Of the Board of Alder
men two years ago. told group OF
members Of the Republican Neighbor-
hood Association who called on Mr.
Curran yesterday: Henry Curron Will
be the next Mayor of New York because
the women voters Of this city have so
decreed. They have discovered he al
ways plays straight. His personality.
record and speeches and attitude toward
the only real issues have won the sup
port OF constantly increasing number
Of women"
Miss Laura Skinner. chairman OF the
Womcn's Curran Committee, also issued
a special appeal to women voters.
At the same time Frederick Lawrence,
president of the American Peoples
League, who has fallen out with Judge
Reuben l.. Haskell after having started
a campaign for him. declared yesterday
that Haskell was playing to the motion
picture interests as well as the wet
advocates; that while running with the
cry that he is the straight Republican
candidate, he had hoped at one time to
become the fusion candidate and also
that his headquarters at the Commodore
Hotel headquarters were donated to him.
Lawrence, who said he suggested sew
eraI months ago to Judge Haskell that
he rim for Mayor quoted the latter as
replying: my friends are working
quietly for me in Brooklyn. II the thing
IL allowed to start slowly think
might be able to get the support OF the
Koenig- -Kracke crowd"
At the time Judge Haskell estimated
the cost OF simply copying the names or
the enrolled Republicans would be
s35.o00. Lawrence said he wrote
speech against motion picture censor
shin. which he claimed Haskell deliv-
cred.

In these words, Borough President
Henry H. Curran. Republican Coali-
tion candidate for the Mayoralty nomi-
nation, explained the lack of proper
transit facilities in New York city and
outlined a new "cobweb" subway plan
of his own in speeches last night at
the John Hay Republican Club, 4O9
East fremont avenue, The Bronx, and
elsewhere.
There is no rim to the transit
Wheel" he said. 1T is all hub and
spolses. Here is a city plan that is
fatal on its face to any comfortable
transportation of our citizens. If you
go from The Bronx to Brooklyn, or
from Brooklyn to Queens, you must
go through lower Manhattan.
What we need is a rim to that
wheel. belt line. and then another in
terror belt line. so that people will not
have to struggle through the congested
hub OF the wheel in lower Manhattan.
We should have the cobweb design. In
cobweb you will find that the spider.

terror rims, or laterals or pelt lines, in
addition to the strands that compose
the huh and the spokes. and that is a
sensible plan built by a sensible ami

BOSSES AND BLUES
HASKELL'S TARGETS
Mayoralty Candidate Calls on
People to 'Rebuke Politi-
clans Again

Judge Reuben l.. Haskell. wet" can
didate for the Republican Mayoralty
nomination, took new tack in his cam
paigning last night when he called on
the enrolled voters to swat the bosses.
Referring to the fact that he won out
over the leaders-who said prohibition
was not an issue-for the County Court
nomination two years ago, Judge Has
kell asserted:
"while / thought my County Court
campaign would bring the leaders to
their senses so that they would respond
to public sentiment, 1t is necessary that
we give them at least one more positive
demonstration as to what the people
think of them.
"T'hey must have at least one more
walloping, and am sure that on pri-
mary day you will not only swat fusion
but administer another rebuke to the
bosses and that on election day, Tues
day, November s, the people of this city
will repeat on a larger scale their ex-
preston of sentiment against blue laws,
prohibition and Anderson.
Gear Anderson has crawled into his
political grave and does not wish to be
quoted any more. Why do not the bosses
take tip from Anderson and do as he
did ?"
speaking or tne Stdte election last
year Judge Haskell continued:
Every one on the ticket, including
the present manager OF Mr.. Cur~an's
candidacy, classed himself as wet ex-
cept Gov. Miller, who was thought to be
wet but later in the campaign came
out strong for the 'drys.' You know the
result. Every Republican on the ticket,
except Miller won by q majority of
close TO one million votes. and Gav Mil
Ter barely won out; and IL 1t had not
been for the Presidential election 1t is
safe to say he would have been de-
feated."
+. H. La Guardia. President of the
Board OF Aldermen. In his campaign con-
tinued to hammer on upstate domina-
ton He said: IF we continue with
the coalition crowd and with Mr.. Miller
upstate we are going TO l3se not only
the State, but our Congress also next
year. The change must come from
within the party, and this Is the change
am offering. / know the Republicans
will entrust me with the missi,n OF
carrying the party to victory this year
as they did in 1919"

REPUBLICANS AIM
TO SOOTHE FACTIONS
Platform i'm State Convention
to Satisfy City and Up
State Men.
HONORS TO BE DIVIDED
WadswOrth Will Be Temporary
Chairman and Calder Perma-
nent Presiding Officer.
HONORs TO BE DIVIDED

The platform of the Republican State
cuse on September 20 and 20, will con-
tain nothing to create discord between
the upstate and the New York city
members OF the party, according to a
person closely in touch with the making
of a tentative draft OF that document.
It will be strong in its Republicanim
and will commend both the Washington
and the Albany administrations. But
there will be no attempt to touch on con-
troversinl matters such as might cause
friction among members Of the party
from different sections OF the State.
To further confound enemies of the
Republican party who are predicting a
division between the upstate and New
York city Republicans. It has been de-
cided that upstate shall have the tenn
porary chairman and New York city the
permanent chairman. The first role is
to be filled by Senator Wadsworth, while
the position of permanent chairman will
go to Senator Calder. The idea is to
make the convention Republican love
feast.
The committee at work on the draft
OF the platform. which will be presented
nittee on resolutions Of the convention,
consists Of Ellis j. Staley. Conservation
Commissioner. Albany; Mayor William
J. wallin, Yonkers; Charles d. Hilles,
member of the National Committee, Man
haitian Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney, In
dustrial Commissioner. Brooklyn; Mrs.
William Van Nance, Manhattan, and
Franklin b. Lord, Nassau.
"The number of members from New
York on this committee should of itself
disper the story that anything that
would arouse antagcnism, from the city
organization would go in the platform. :"
said an upstate leader last night.
There is no disposition on the part OF
anyone to say anything that would be
disa greeable to New York city members
of the party or that would be critical of
the Governor. The partys record Will
be commended and present day issues,
those upon which our candidates for
the Assembly will run this fall, will be
discussed. Mr. Hilles viii draft the
national planks."
SO far no candidacy for the noinina-
ton for the Court OF Appeals to succeed
