TAMMANY HALL CELEBRATES
DEFEAT OF VIM. R. HEARST

chieftains. The result was they lost
several seats and, while the senate
remains Democratic as a result of
! the election a year ago, the assem-
bly, is Republican by something like
twenty-five majority and Governor
AL will have to fight every inch of
the way for any program he may
have mapped out for his last year
at Albany.
Tammany concentrated on the SUI.
preme court judges and against
Hearst, with the result that the
Democratic ticket was elected i'll
this district with a whoop. The sup
port of Mr.. Hearst proved of little
or no value to the Republicans. The
Democratic candidates were elected
by votes of more than two to one
over their opponents.
Governor AL and Charlie Murphy
led in the celebration at the Wig
wan and the tune of the grand mer-
rymaking was the exit of Mr..
Hearst from New York state poll
tics. The governors qualification
was manifest. He and Mr.. Hearst
love each other like two strange
bull dogs. The sachem of Tammany
has pilloried him to a fare-youWell.
DenOunce Hearst Papers
Sachem Murphy was so happy to-
day, SO plumed by the overwhelm-
ing victory at the polls yesterday
that he turned some guns on Mr..
Hearst. He denounced the Lying,
filthy newspaper under the Hearst
management" that had deliberately
cd IS.
sue in the campaign" He further
announced that beginning today he
would bar all Hearst newspapers
from his home. Everyone had
thought he had done that long ago,
but evidently the Tammany chief
tain has been a gluttOn for punish
ment.
A decidedly unusual phase of the
election held in this city was a refer
endum on the raising of the pay of
firemen and policemen. It was a
chance for New Workers to say what
they thought Of their fire ladies
and "the finest" Some police Of
ficials recently have undertaken to
hold meetings for praising the po-
lice. Commissioner Enright also has
been using the radio to tell what
fine things the police are doing. The
plain man in the street has been
somewhat bewildered by all this ac-
tivity in defense of the force, for,
while he realizes an occasional pink
silk night gown murder or pale
yellow satin pajama murder may go
unsolved, the men in blue, by and
large, are a pretty fine lot.
So Tuesday the referendum to
make the minimum pay of police
men and firemen $4,000 a year was
decided all in favor Of the blue coats.
The mighty Eyes" which went up in
all the boroughs of the greater city
will approximate a 100000 majority.
To make the firemen earn some of
their increased pay right off the
bat, a lot of election night bonfires
were lit, and kept the ladies on the
run until the wee small hours. The
boys were up to get the returns any
how, so no great damage to sleep
or property was done.

Editor Fails in Political
Comeback at New York
After Battle With Smith
and Murphy
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
Leased Wire Service to The Journal,
Copyright, 1921

NCOpyTlSHt, 1870.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-William
Randolph Hearst, endeavoring to do
Comeback" politically in this city
and state. received a knockout at
the polls Tuesday and Tammany
Hall held a grand wake at the Wig
wan last night over the death" of
a political enemy. Mr.. Hearst has
proved in the past that he was pos
.sessed of some seven or eight 20
litical lives, but Tammany is con-
WINGED now that the last spark of
even the ninth life is gone. The
braves celebrated accordingly.
Mr.. Hearst chose to make his
fight on the unprecedented election
of ten judges of the state supreme
court in this district. These judges
are elected for fourteen years at a
salary of $17,500. There is a move
ment on foot to make the salary
$4,000 a piece, the pay of Justice
of the United States supreme court.
Tammany nominated its slate of
ten.
Mr.. Hearst organized a citizens
Independent party, and linking arms
with a section of the Republican
party put into the field what he
termed an "anti-Murphy; anti-Foley"
ticket.
The Hearst papers made one of
their bitterest fights against the
Democratic ticket. They attacked
Murphy as they never had attacked
him before. He was cartooned and
lampooned and accused of nearly
every crime in the calendar of sin.
With Boss Murphy was coupled
Governor AL Smith in all of the
Hearst denunciation. Hearst was
active himself in the fight. He had
claimed the full credit for having
elected John F. Hylan mayor of New
York for two terms and this was
his supreme effort to show Tam
many that he was power to be
considered in all future campaigns,
county, state or national.
Governor Smith Active
The Hearst campaign threw some
thing of fright into the Wigwam on
Fourteenth street. So much so that
Governor Al came down from AL
bany for the last ten days of the
fight and made a vigorous campaign
for the judicial ticket. Being a first
class fighting man, Al mixed it with
Mr.. Hearst without gloves and with
out mincing words. They went at
each other hammer and tongs.
In the melee here, in the fight to
put Hearst back in his place, the
fact that a statewide campaign was
going on for the election of the
lower house of the legislature was
all but forgotten by the Democratic

TUSCALOOSA WITH
Girl, Says OFFICER

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Nov. s.
Moving rapidly toward a showdown
in the case Of ALI Winchester, held
in connection with the finding of n
girls charred body in the ashes of
a negro church near here last week,
both the state and defense Thurs
day declared themselves ready for
a preliminary trial next week.
Nose d. Ashley, member of the
Tuscaloosa police force, told authori-
ties and neWspapermen that he was
at the local railroad station last
Wednesday morning when the 1
o'clock limited arrived and that he
saw Alt Winchester alight from the
train in company with a young wom-
an, both of whom left the station
in Winchester's automobile.
Winchester carried a small suit
case or satchel, Ashley said, and the
two first went into the waiting room
for few minutes. later coming out
and driving toward town in the car
Il am not sure how long they
were in the station, nor whether the
woman sat for few minutes or not,
but I am certain that both of them
left the station in Winchester auto
mobile" the policeman said.
The woman was smaller than Win
chester, but 1 didn't see her features
clearly.
The body of the victim remains at
a local morgue unidentified by local
authorities, and efforts to solve the
mystery of her Identification and
slayer relentlessly continue, they
say, despite the statement of the
Birmingham officers that they have
identified the woman.
Sheriff w. G. Kyle, when informed
| of the Birmingham statement, said
that local officers had not been in
formed as to who the victim was
thought to be, adding that he "be-
lieved that the mystery would be
solved, however"
IA number of missing girls have
| been reported to us-tWo of them
said to have disappeared last Tues
day-and we are Investigating all of
the avenues available" the sheriff
said.

House Committeeman
Delay Action Pending
Governors Message

The ways and means committee
of the house of representatives met
at the capitol Wednesday afternoon,
but voted to defer action on all tax
bills until after receiving the report
OF the state tax commission and the
message of Governor Walker, which
was to be delivered Thursday morn
ing, at 1880 o'clock.
The general and occupation tax
bill, identical with one passed by
the hUuse last year, but held up in
the senate, was referred to the same
set committee that considered it at
the last session. Chairman Ennis,
of the committee, stated clauses dou-
bling the tax on insurance COM
panies and taxing the capital stock
Of banks had caused the senate to
refuse to pass the bill. and he sug-
gested that these two clauses be
modified.
The old bill increased the tax on
insurance companies from IL per
cent to 3 per cent of their total re-
ceipts. Mr.. Ennis said the insur-
ance companies Rere willing to pay
2 per cent tex, and he thought
that figure would be satisfactory.

j. s. COURT FIGHT
LOST, WAL TON IS
PLACED on TRIAL

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Nov.
Shy the Associated Press. Pre-
urinary steps in the impeachment
trial of Governor j. c. Walton were
virtually concluded shortly before
noon today and the senate court was
ready to begin taking testimony at
1870 O'clock.
Reading of the governors detailed
reply to the twenty-five impeach-
ment charges was dispensed with
by the court in view of the fact that
the reply had been printed and
made available to each member Of
the court.
The house board of managers,
which is prosecuting the case, had
the floor during most of the morn
ing. They denied every allegation
made by the governor in his reply
which conficted with the charges in
the impeachment bill, but did not~go
into details. They declared the
executives answer was too long to
be studied closely for a reply that
would have little effect upon the
trial.
w. E. Disney, chairman Of the
board of managers, declared the
DOdIu llllSuNlS W lllLl CNotl-
mony on all the impeachment ar
ticles before asking a vote from the
court. He advised the governors
counsel that they would not need
their witnesses at least until next
Tuesday. as he did not believe the
prosecution would finish before
then.
The court decided to remain in
session Monday, but to recess for
one hour in observance of Armistice
day.
