samuel Untermyer turned the Nav

last night in two speeches in behalf Of
Lockwood and Curran, saying that an
eight or ten cent fare was practically
certain if Hylan was reelected. Itw
Hylan, he said, who had been deaf To
all suggestions for a reorganization of
the city's railroads to insure the Ave

Of the docks in graft in three years
Remember that every one of these
dollars comes from the consumer. They
are all passed along and it is the peo-
Pile who pay. Every home in New York
has paid its part of th~ money that
Hughes made, and the graft that Hoey
and Sabbatino got away with. That is
what has been going on under Hylan
while he has been posing as the friend
of the people
II am going to tackle this question

the way of lower prices Of food while
Hylan has been Mayor.
"ln addition 10 the high price OF
clothing and food our people have been
struggling to meet the rents which
have scared sky-high How has 5yian
tried to help them solve this problem?
At time when housing conditions were
at their worst Hearst's tool in the City
Hall and his Board OF Estimate were
busy as beavers letting contracts for
new s20,000,000 courthouse that would
not house a single fam ly 1t made ne
difference to Hylan that the price OF
this courthouse would have buiit 1000
homes. He wanted monument to his
administration, and so he persisted in
the scheme until he tripped over a
limestone contract scandal that was
serious enough to scare even Hearst
out in California. Before he tripped,
however, Hyian managed to dig big
hole in the ground and dump more than
million dollars sof the peoples money
in it.

fore, it Of course means nothing to his
Man-Friday Hylan. But it's anighty
serious thing in the homes Of New
York City where the children are life
itself.
Forced out of school by HyIsnism,
the children have nowhere to play. And
here is where Hearst and Hylan have
scored heavily. The Board of Estimate
didn't consider it worth while to work
out park and playground policy TO
provide recreation for the children.
They leftthem to play in the streets.
Some these streets have been
closed to traffic from time to time. long
before Hylan became Mayor, so that
the children might be able to play in
them with safety. At each end Of the
street there would be n sign on
stanchions warning drivers that the
street was closed. When Hylan came
along he saw a chance to steal the
credit for what others had done, so he
Aordered his own name to be painted on
all the signs. You can look at any of
these signs to-day. and, unless you have
a microscope, all you see is the follow
ing Legend Mayor Hylan's Street
Closed
Zone of the first things shall do
when ! am Mayor will be to eradicate
from the street signs this Hylan trick
on the children and then print on
every one OF them the following IN

signs.
For More Fairgrounds
Furthermore, / am going to go to
work right away on policy of pro-

as hard as l can. / am going to give
the children square deal, and l am
going to protect their health now with
far more care than I would my own.
And now. let Us take up the high
cost of living. What has Hylan done
to help get cheaper clothes and cheaper
1000 for the men, women and chldr rem
OF New York? Did he help to make it
cheap and easy to get the food out OF
the ships across the docks and into
the homes of the people? Was he
helping when he allowed Hughes. boon

right, to clean up a million dollars
while the piers had to pay a heavy
price for policing? Was he helping

to take nearly two million dollars out

There are $4,000 teachers in the citv

Menace
To City Homes,
Curran Says
tcontinusd from paso onO


aoie to read the unmistakable signs,
would have realized what Hylanisn,
was going to mean TO them. When the
Hylan Board of Estimate was making
up Its first budget in the fall of 1918,
teaehers from our public schools, to-
cether with other city employees, ap-
peared before that august body and
asked the board to grant increases in
salaries to help NEE. the then RAPIDLY
mounting cost OF living. Did it make
any difference to Hylan that scores OF
teachers were abandoning their pro-
fessions every day in order to get
enough money through other Jobs to
make ends meet? Did it mean any
thing to Hearst's Man Friday that
thousands os children were being sent
home from school every day because
the teaching staff of the city had be-
come SO depleted that there were not
enough teachers to go around? Did
Hylan have minutes worry over ali
this? He did not.
Hylan Opinion of Teachers
"To see these teachers pleading for
8 a~iiving wage was a great Joke to
Hylan. Here are his words in answer
to their plea. He said: 4 once worked
for farmer and asked for more pay.
| thought was worth it. The farme
told me if thought I was worth more
than he was paying me to go elsewhere
and get it. went to another place
and got it. That's just what the
teachers ought to do-go and get other
jobs
There is something far more i'm
mediate and terrible in the way this
Hylan crazy time is working out
than the fact that the children are
being denied an equal opportunity for
education. Under Hylanism the health
OF both teachers and pupils is nlenaced
by conditions in. the schools to-day
