TAMMANY TO RUN
ANT|-HYLAN TICKET
Walker May Be Standard
Bearer-SpEit of Demo-

BY the Associated Press.

Dy tue AssOCldttu tEtee
NEW YORK, August 6.-The open
ing gun in the Democratic ma joralty
campaign, the effects of which are
likely to be felt in the 1928 Demo
cratic national convention, is expect
ed to be fired before nightfall.
With the unprecedented split in
Democratic ranks complete, Tam
many, united with the Bronx County
organization, was to name a full city
ticket today. State Senator James j.
Walker, author of the New York
Boxing Commission law and Demo
cratic minority leader in the upper
house, appears the most likely choice
of Tammany for the primary race.
Against him will be pitted Mayor
John +. Hylan seeking a third term.
John II. McCooey, Brooklyn leader
and generalissimo of the Hylan forces.
is expected to announce the Hylan
ticket Monday.
Surrogate James A. Foley, said to
have been the first choice of the
Tammany leader George Olavny. is
reported disinclined to enter the race,
despite strong pressure, because of
his health and his distaste for a split.
Both Walker and oFley are cotem-
poraries of Gov. Smith in the Tam
many orga nization and are united in
the anti-Hylan fight. If the rupture
in Democratic ranks lasts beyond the
campaign, there are many who see
divided support of the governor in
case he again seeks to be the party's
presidential nominee.
Nicholas Murray Butler president
of Columbia University, and Owen D..
Young. former member Of the Dawes
Preparations committee, are promi-
nently mentioned for the Republican
Independent mayoralty nomination.
The Tammany-BronX entente eX-
poets to carry the fight on the mayor
into every borough, naming county
tickets in an effort to depoSe the three
borough leaders who are supporting
Hylan, who in turn is backed by
William Randolph Hearst.

Go to Scrap Heap.

Detroit, May l3.-Henry Ford will
purchase the 400 vessels of the United
States shipping board if the government
will fix what he considers a fair price
according to story which will appear

man of the shipping board.
Wanted to Scrap Them
O'connor is quoted as asking Ford
to take over 200 ships of his original
suggestion, the article says. However
when Ford informed him that he
would only buy the ships to scrap
them for junk. O'Connor suggested
that he buy all 400, as it would not
cost more to construct dismantling APP
paratus to handle the 400 ships than
it would the lesser number.
Forl agreed to this saying that he
might retain from 10 to 80 of the ships
for use by the Ford industries. If any
ships were put in operation by Ford
they would e reconditioned and
equipped as oil burners, the article
states.

WHY NOT TRY MORE
OF OUR HOME TEACHERS

In the list of teachers selected for
the coming year, we are glad to note
the selection of some of our home
teachers. By all means give the home
folks the preference. We are, in select
ing teachers, of the same fixed opinion
that we have about our "home trad
ing. Everything else being equal
give the ambitious man or woman OF
Fitzgerald the salary that we pay 9TH
ers and thus create spirit of ambition
in the home boy and girl that when
they qualify they may look forward
to the time when they may help train
their neighbors' and friends children
as they were trained themselves.
. We know of several teachers away
from home who would fit into the
local school system and would love
to have them given an opportunity.
