New York, Oct. 1S.-William RAN
doiph Hearst Is making fight TO come
back as a political entity. 1t is
quite evident the editor of many news
papers has about made up his mind
10 quit flirting with the organization
Democrats and 10 stop making over
lures to the Republicans. Once more
he is beating the tom toms OF indie
pendence." He is starting in modest
way, fighting the Tammany judiciary
ticket to be voted on here next month.
But this more or less local fight is
Just q straw, showing how the winds
will be blowing next year and in the
Years to come, as Mr.. Hearst struggles
up the rocky pathway 10 the higher
political attitudes where hAspotlights
Of success play with brilliant but
tickle beams.
Mr.. Hearst has a new slogan FOR
tearing down the reign of Tammany
Hall in New York City and the
Tsmmany influence which is spreading
through the state as result of the
two terms of Al Smith in the COVER
ner's chair. Mr.. Hearst has evident
ly forgotten that it was the Tammany
organization which made his friend
John Hylan mayor for two terms.
But now once more he is out against
the bosses" He is attempting to
link "Boss Murphy" up with .Boss
Tom Foley" because Foley. once
sheriff and lieutenant of Murphy.
has been mixed up in some of the
bucketshop scandals that have been
stirring the city of late.
Would Lead Tammany.
The new Hearst cry is:
Bore from within"
He wants Tammany held together.
1t would be folly at this late day
10 think that Tammany can be dge
away with. So. Mr.. Hearst would
like to have the men enrolled in Tam
many hall kick Mr.. Murphy and the
Others out Of Tammany for what
could be sweeter than for Mr.. Hearst
to control Tammany himself So he is
advising every Tammany voter to vote
against the Tammany ticket. This is
the way. he says, to build up n new
Tammany.
knock out every candidate the
bosses have forced on your own Tam
many ticket" says Mr.. Hearst. DO
that this time and the power of Boss
Murphy and Boss Foley will be broken
forever. Do that this time and good
men and able men will soon have a
chance TO rise as high in Tammany
and in public service as they deserve
to rise.
IF Boss Murphy and Boss Foley
are thoroughly beaten in this judiciary
election, Tanmany will be free once
more and men of brains and ability
can have chance to rise.
Make Tanmany Free.
Put that thought in the back of
your head.
You will find it a good thought
and a wise thought on election day.
.'There are lot of you who chafe
under the tyranny of Boss Murphy
and Boss Foley.
You want 10 get rid Of them, but
you don't know how.
Take a lesson from the smarter
labor leaders in politics.
Bore from within.
Think it over,
Beat Bosses Murphy and Foley.
Make Tammany free again"
OF course the innocent political by
stander sees at a glance that Mr..
Hearst hasn't chance in the world
of. beating Tammany with the ."anti-
Murphy: anti-FOley" ticket he is
backing in the field. The trouble is.
from Hearst's own point of view. that
the Bar Association has endorsed vir-
tually all of the so-called .Tammany
candidates for the judgcships and the
Republicans have nominated many of
the same men as the Democrats.
The election next month has wider
interest than the judgeships, however.
An entire state assembly is to be
chosen and the Democrats are max
ing a big fight for it so that in the
last year of his administration. Gov
ernOr Smith can have undivided leg

stand the Democrats control the SEN
ate but not the assembly. Both Demo-
