tive to the mayors powers in the

result of J. M. Toohey's inability to
secure a permit for such 4 business

Several amendments have been
made to the gasoline filling station
regulations by the motor vehicle de-
partment and by the general assem-
bly,, and the mayor 10 unwilling to
take any steps until he has had legal
advice.
Mr.. Toohey's property is located
in a zone In which filling stations are
allowed. The hearing required by
law was held by the board OF public
works and great objection was voiced
by the neighbors. As result, the
board voted to recommend to the
mayor that no permit issue. Toohey
has retained Judge William r. Man.
gan as his counsel, and Judge Man
gan has made formal demand for
license to sell gasoline. setting forth
that the business is within the law
and that the city has no legal right
to restrain him from entering into it.
If it is decided that the mayor is
the final authority in the matter, he
will be called upon to choose be-
tween refusal and the certainty of
litigation, and reversal Of his public
works board.

MacCracken Urges Party to
Select Able Man as
Candidate.

by the Asso'tatrd ifcss.
LOUISVILLE. Ky. February IL
American prosperity during recent
wears has been intimately associated
with the control of national political
affairs by the Republican party. Will
liam p. MacCracken, jr., Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, declared here
today In the course of a Lincoln day
banquet. He urged his listeners to
maintain party harmony and at the
same time to single out rs a presl--
Dental candidate this year man OF
the greatest capacity.
The fact that the Republican or
eanization has been able to carry all
but four of the last l8 national cleo
tons should not lull us into careless
ness. nor to select candidate upon the
theory that any Republican can win,
Mr.. MacCracken said We owe q
patriotic duty to our country to select
the ablest leaders to administer the al
fairs of Government.
"The Federal Government, under the
present administration, has shown a
marked tendency of cooperation with
industry. agriculture. commerce and
labor, rather than toward paternallSt
intermeddling.
In the Department Of Commerce II
is uniformly the policy to seek the
counsel and advice Of those various
groups constituting national business.
The conditions which exist in the De-
partmcnt of Commerce I believe pre-
vail throughout the Government.
Whatever service the Commerce De-
partment has rendered during the past
seven years has been due in large
measure to the vision. courage. knowl-
edge and example of. the man at its
head, He is truly a great public serv-
ant. known and respected at home and
