GORDON RAPS SABL0TSKY
Republican Candidate Says Demo-
cratic Councilman Should Pay
Attention to Conditions In Sixth.

Councilman Samuel Sablotsky OF
the Sixth ward has been too busy
watching what other wards have
been doing, to pay any attention to
his own, said Attorney Monroe S.
Gordon, republican aspirant for the
seat in the common council now oc-
cupied by Sablotsky, in a statement
today. Mr.. Gordons statement came
as a result OF campaign speech de-
livered last night by Councilman Sa-
blotsky. in which the latter claim
ed that Glen street was paved for
a political move.
The republican candidate today
said: Councilman Sablotsky accus-
cd the common council of failing to
cooperate with him because of the
fact that he is democrat and most
Of the other members are republi-
cans. Now, / say il the sixth ward
had a republican councilman who
would be in accord with the rest of
the members 1t is possible that the
sixth ward might secure the necos-
sary appropriations for streets, sew
erS, etc.
councilman Sablotsky, in his
talk last night. referred to the Glen
street paving job. That only brings
back the argument l set forth in
my letter to the voters: that Coun.
Gilman Sablotsky has been too busy
watching what other wards have
been doing to pay any attention TO
the sixth. If he laid more stress
on our own streets and less on Glen
street. I assure the voters that there
would have been more results
shown than there are now-Hhich
are none"
