MAYORALY RACE
In NEW YORK IS
MUCH DISCUSSED
CITY ELECTION THIS FALL IN
GOTHAM Is COMING IN FOR
MORE ATTENTION THAN
USUAL
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
(By Assoelatea PrenDD

WASHINGTON, August 21.-
| Because New York is the largest
| city in the country and Tanmany
so often has played important
roles in national politics, q mayor
| atty election there always interests
the rest Of the nation.
New York's city election this
fall, however. comes in for more
attention perhaps than any in re-
cent times.
For one thing it is the only cleo
tion of great Importance this year.
No senator's or representatives are
to be elected until 1884. There'll
| be few state contests. but aside
from purely local interest the rest
OF the country cares little about
them.
But IL it were not for this fact,
the presence of Fiorello H. La
Guardia, the Little Flower" in
the New York contest as the
fusion candidate alone would
make tia first rate show.
Ready For Battle
This hard-hitting, scrappy little
individual is national figure.
Everything that he is connected
with has touch of the pic
turesque.
Those who have watched him
lin action on the floor of the house
/ of Representatives where he served
before being defeated in the
Roosevelt landslide last November
can bear witness to his prowess as
q fighter.
He was the head Of q flying
bipartisan wedge that did untold
damage to the legislative program
Iof both parties. He was VI leader
in the fight that wrecked the sales
tax and many other measures in
President Hoover's program
When the democrats got con-
ltroI of the house in the seventy
second congress LaGuardia was .
leader Of q combination against
the carefully laid Garner Crisp
plans to balance the budget. The
plans were defeated. ~
He's Tried Before
| This will not be the first time
.,LaGuardia has made q bid for the
job as mayor of New York. He
ran against Jimmy Walker one
| time and Walker defeated him
with some haf-miliion votes to
spare.
It's q peculiar arrangement un-
der which he Is running this time.
Usually in city 50 overwhelm-
| ingIy democratic ms New York the
procedure is 10 pick an in
dependent democrat to beat q
democrat for . job.
LaGuardia is = republican, but
his republieanism is not strictly
regular. In his campaign for
mayor he expects the number 81
independent democrats who will
support him will outnumber By far
the regular republicans who dis
like and will vote against him.

AID TO HOME OWNERS

THE proposed new federal law to provide
mortgage relief for the owners of small
urban homes eventually may have very bene-
fetal effect on depositors in frozen banks and
on the tax incomes of cities and states
1t looks very much as if many frozen banks.
with vast sums invested in small real estate
mortgages, would be able to thaw out good
part of their frozen assets by exchanging their
mortgages for the per cent bonds of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation. This, naturally,
would be a break for their depositors.
At the same time, the scheme is designed
to enable home owners to pay their delinquent
taxes; and such payments would lift large
part of the financial burden which today lies
upon innumerable states and cities
If this measure would achieve those two
results, it would be very welcome indeed
