Hylans city" New York never has
built a public school during the Hy-
Ian regime. Each new building has
had great sign upon it announcing
that Mayor Hylan was building the
place of learning. Each street to be
paved or opened has been paved or
opened "by Mayor Hylan." Play
grounds and play streets have been
provided, not by 'the city, but by
Mayor Hylan's committee"
All of the soldiers who came home
from the World War through this
port were welcomed not by a city
committee, but "by Mayor Hylan's
committee" Plans for new parks
and other works of identification
have all been Mayor Hylan's plans
The new municipal radio broadcast
ing station has been Mayor Hylan's
station. 1t has never ceased to sing
his praises and never will so long as
he sits at the city hall. The mayor
name has always been before the
people, wherever they turned. Since
the radio station opened it has been
in their ears every afternoon and
every night. The returns from the
presidential election last Fall were
Mayor Hylan's returns
Critics. Smile Erased.
Some observers were inclined tC
smile at the ACKNOWLEDGMENT o.
the mayor, but they smile no longer
The mayors plan has had its effec
and the politicians are afraid Of the
hold he has got on the people by his
constant and clever self-advertising
The more the politicians shout a
Hylan the more publicity he feels he
is getting, and he is going to capital
ize this publicity once more at the
polls this Fall unless Al Smith and
the Tammany leaders stand ready tc
bust" the Democratic party wide
open in the city and the State. Fol
even if Tammany did throw hin
down the mayor would run just the
same, and the chances are he would
get a plurality of several hundred
thousand votes. At the moment il
certainly looks as though the munic-
ipal balloting this Fall will be

HYLAN, DEFIANT, TURNS TO VOTER

Mayor Convinced Hold

TiUO Terms Are Marked
By AdrOit Personal Ad-
Uertising Campaign.
BY ROBERT It. SMALL.

NEW YORK, February IA first
class political row is seething here in
the metropolis with Mayor Hylan
hurling defiance at AL Smith, at Tam
many, at the great majority of the
New York newspapers and avowing
that he is going to be nominated and
elected this Fall for another term of
four years at the City Hall. If the
mayors ambitions are not thwarted d
1T will be his third term. If his
health holds good, and a month at
Palm Beach each Winter seems to
work wonders in that respect, the
mayor hopes to go on being mayor
for the rest of his natural life.
Meantime the politicians of Tam
many and the State bosses of the
Democratic party are trying to find
some means of putting the mayor on
the shelf. They frankly are tired of
him and all of his ways. They claim
he is standing in the way of further
rapid transit development The
mayor says he is standing for the
people and the scent fare, New York
being about the only place in the
world where the nickel fare still op-
crates.
Suggest Smith Run
Some of the anti-Hylanites have
gone so far as to suggest that Al
Smith quit the gubernatorial chair at
Albany and take the Democratic nom.
ination for mayor. AL is as anxious
as the rest of them to put the skids
under the mayor, but he possibly isn't
willing to go so far as some of his
associates would like, especially as
the governor is said to be casting ar
eye toward the senatorship in 1926
The mayor at the moment is dis
porting himself in the waves at Palm
Beach, while his enemies hereabouts
are rafting their political sabres
beating the tomtoms and threatening
all sorts Of dire things. The mayor
has heard the reverberations away
down there in Florida, and has kept
the telephone and telegraph wires hot
with statements and counter accusa-
tions. When the mayor takes a va
cation he wants it thoroughly under
stood that politics is not adjourn ed
He thrives on the game.
Strength Is Amazing.
In view of the manner that he is
berated and lampooned in nearly ali
OF the newspapers of the city, and
hammered and lamb ted in the polft-
ical councils of his own party, Mayor
Hylan's strength with the people is
little short of amazing. 1t is so great
that he is daring Tammany to try To
withhold the nomination from him
this Fall. Tammany wants to do It,
but will it?
The Hylan scheme for building up
political power has been an interest
ing one, and the reason for his popu-
larity with the masses of the people
especially the foreign born-is not
far to seek Once he got into office

ITALIAN ELECTORAL
MEASURE IS VOTED
Returns to Single Constit-
uency System Under Bill
Backed by MussoIini.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, February 1.-THE Senate
today by a majority of 156 passed
the electoral bill proposed by the
government and already approved by
the Chamber of Deputies. The vote
was 214 to 5S.
The majority surpassed the expecta-
ton of the government, which con-
sidered 1T the more significant be-
cause the vote was not taken by roll
call, but by secret ballot and showed
that some Senators who are followers
of former Premiers Giolitti. Orlando
and Salandra voted for the Musso-
lini measure.
The session was featured by a long
speech by Luigi Federzoni. minister
of the interior.
To the criticism that he had been
favorable to the proportional electoral
system five years ago, Signor Fed
erzoni said an opinion on electoral
methods was not a question of faith,
hut subject to political conditions.
In the year 1919 he considered the
proportional system historically
necessary in order to give new vigor
to the national life. Today, when the
great political currents had re-estab-
Hshed the struggle between the
parties and the program was well
denned, he thought a return TO the
single constituency system advis-
able.
Naturally, said the minister, even
the present bill could be criticized
nut ideal perfection in practice could
not always be had, and the thing to
90 was to obtain at least the next
thing to it
The problem of the present situa-
tion, he said, lis this: We desire
10 complete the impetus of the Fascist
revolution by directing it into the
road of legality. We wish it to pene-
Irate the national spirit, which is
the very spirit of fascism."

Of Norwegian blood in this country

work will be extensive in scope, and
has the ardent support Of large
number of learned and wealthy

Burger Osland, of Chicago, ex-
planned the purposes Of the assoc

I'VE believe that the best way to
know our beloved United States is
to know what those who were here
before us did and what they accom-
plished. We are able to get facts
regarding people who came from
Norway better than others can, and
so, in the interest of this our coun-
try as well as for the benefit of
posterity and history students, we
have joined hands to help in the
work of gathering historical data
everywhere regarding our forefath-
ers and what they accomplished
here. We will hold conferences in
this and other cities. The response
we have received this morning is
splendid and we realize that we are
filing a long-felt need"

'TMAY BE. DIESELs SOON
Chicago North Western to
Give Oil-Electric Locomo-
tives Thorough Test.

Oll-electric locomotives may with
in the near future speed all trains
to and from Eagle River, sup
planting the old coal-burning type
that now comes putting through
our town, vomiting out black
clouds of smoke.
The prospective engines are of
the Diesel internal combustion oil
burning type, driving electric gen
orators which in turn run electric
motors that will give the propelling
power. According to Chicago adj
vises, such engines will be tested
for a 60-day period, probably be-
ginning Dec. l, by the Chicago
North Western Railroad, with a
view to improving it's service, low
ering operation costs and elimin-
ating smoke, SCOT and cinders,
thereby increasing the comforts of
travel. The oil to be used is low
priced and does not give off the
dangerous gases common to gaso-
line engine.
1t is reported that the Chicago
North Western also will expert
ment with internal combustion en-
gines such as used in automobiles.
1t is reported to have placed an or
der for a 60-foot gasoline engine to
be tried out on a 72-miIe stretch
of its Iowa division. Another Of
this type will probably be given a
trial between Kenosha and Rock
ford. III. It is contended that a
gasoline engine can be operated at
one third the cost of those propelled
by steam, and yet give as good if
not better service than the present
locomotives.
