Many Slugged

lican mayoralty nomination, today be-

days Observation-Disclosures primary. His
majority over Edward r. Litsinger,
chief opponent, was slightly in excess
of 10000 votes.

ing to the fact that Mayor Dever
had virtually no opposition.
The total republican vote was 506,-
307 A total Of 342,279 votes was
cast for Thompson.
The democratic vote totalled less
than 100000.
Bullets Better Than Ballots.

lice and large force of special depu-
ties, shootings. sluggings, kidnapings
and various forms of intimidation and
fraud were recorded.
Police. armed with machine guns,
rifles and tear bombs, patrolled the

displaying their munitions as threat
to political gangsters. But even this
vigilance failed to stem the tide of
outlawry. One man was killed, sew
eral were crippled, dozens were beat
lm or kidnapped.

BE LENIENT IN JUDGING

Learn to make allowances for the
old and young, the wise and illite-
rate, the wealthy and impoverished.
Temper judgment with kindness;
help instead of condemning. Many
people never get out of the shadow.
Penury pulls at their heartstrings
and i'll health discolors their outlook.
The benefit of a charitable fell
lowship is that the man who gains
it is wonderfully helped. Southey
says: "He who is most charitable
in his judgment is generally the
least unjust" Things brighten for
him and he remembers, when he
sees another less favorably placed
than himself, that place might easily
have been filled by himself.
So long as a man is trying,
though he may fail, he is worth
help and tolerance, for such man
is doing his best.-London Tit-Bits.
