ONE VOTE NEEDED
TO REMOVE CURRY
Belief Expressed Tammany Chief
Will Be Ousted-Rule by
Trio Predicted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3.-John F,
Curry, once the absolute ruler of the
most powerful political machine in
the country, was hanging on to what
is left of that power by thread
today as insurgent Tammany district
leaders sought to round up the one
additional vote necessary to GUST him.
Many observers expressed the be-
lief that they will find it. At their
first meeting yesterday, which they
did not intend to become public
knowledge, the district leaders ap-
pointed a committee for the express
task of ousting Curry as Tammany
chief. It was attended by leaders
holding 1928 votes out of the total
of IS.
No successor has been agreed upon
to take Curry's place. 1t is generally
understood the new leader would have
to be acceptable to the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. and it is thought prob
able that if Curry is ousted his place
will be taken for the time being by
committee of three. one of whom
would be chosen from the pro-Curry
ranks.

The arrests were announced yeSter-
day by Federal authorities in Brook
Ign who said that seven of the men
are being held in Binghamton, N. Y,
where the gangs plant was discov-

The scheme had already gone
Rwry when the Government broke in
on it. Federal men said this was due
to the gangs alleged failure to pay
Frank Volkman the agreed sum Of
$4,000 in good money for every $4,000
he printed The agents said Volkman
put the plates, some finished notes
and the half finished ones in valise
and fled from Binghamton on bus
for New York.
On the way he accidentally spilled
some Of the notes. Alarmed. he left
the bus at the next stop and started
to walk. He finally became SO fright
ened, the agents declared, that he
buried the money, drew map Of its
location and mailed it to William
Wtntermuth, another of those held at
Binghamton.
The gang also planned to print fake
lottery tickets, the agents say, and
made money on the side printing
piecework payroll vouchers. They
had disposed Of comparatively little of
the spurious money. Among those
held are Teofel Franczkowski, a

BY NO MEANS UNANIMOUS"

The idea of Postmaster General Farley that We
twill make it unanimous next time is a good
campaign wise crack, but it is uncommonly UNI
sound political philosophy and strangely negligent
of the huge vote that the Republicans received in
the recent election
1t is popularity of the system of plurality, Or
even straight majority, election that a Congress
may be overwhelmingly for one party or the other
when the people are in fact almost evenly divided
For instance, President Wilson in 1912 received
almost the entire vote of the electoral college; but
the popular vote for his two Republican oppo-
nents Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, much ex
ceeded his popular vote. The complexion of Con-
gress was similarly overwhelmingly Democratic,
whereas the Republican minority received more
votes at the polls than did their victorious oppo-
nents The Democratic candidate, where all three
factions were in the field as they were everywhere
except in the South received more than either of
his opponents. Thus an entire state delegation was
often Democratic, whereas the most of the voters
were Republicans.
The Republicans will hardly count in the new
Congress; and yet they received forty-seven per
cent. of the entire vote of the people. To reduce
it to simplicity SO citizens out of every hundred
! voted Democratic, and Al voted Republican.
Let us consider what may happen II the millions
of Republicans who voted Democratic this year
should change back to their DID, lifelong party al
fiations. Many of them will of course do Even
tually enough will do so again to elect Republ-
can President and Congress. That will not in our
guess, be by 1886
For clearness, let US keep the mathematics of
} the situation the basis of 100. In the recent
election SO of the voters voted Democratic, and At
! voted Republican. The only thing necessary to
turn the Democrats out is for four of those Re-
pubcans found this year voting Democratic TO
change back to Republican.
Anyone who considers the Republican party
dead has slight knowledge of human nature or
the history of politics There has rarely been such
, swift and sweeping change in politics during
the last two years of President Wilson's admins
tration, and during the last two years of Presi-
dent Hoover's administration.
! 1t behooves the Democratic party to move with
caution, with full realization that either mistakes
by itself or shifting conditions may in few years
do the same thing for them as it did for the Demo-
Gratis in 1880 and for the Republicans in 1880

PUTTING IL OFF
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Last year q woman who uneX-

paid street assessments which had
been accommodating for several
years against her home. This year
she could pay off those same as
sessments for twenty-five cents on
the dollar.
A man who had enough cash
on hand to pay all his bills made
q practice of paying only those
that pressed him. He liked to
have his money lie in the bank
and draw interest. One day the
bank broke. The man lost all his
money and still owed his bills.

CHAIN STORES AND NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING

Approximately 90 per cent. of the ad-
vertising expenditures OF the country
chain stores goes for the purchase OF news
.... paper space. 1t is estimated that the chalh'
spend S2OO,OOO,OOO annually for newspa-
per advertising, and this sum is estimated
IS to be around one-half of the total sum en-
-. pended by retail stores of the country Tor
newspaper advertising.
A large majority of chain stores have
sssebeea fsnarkably successful as retail busl-
"a aes krprises and the best informed and
vs. most competent commentators on retail
.- selling are unanimously Ofrthe opinion that
49, much of the success of the chains is to be
- traced to the impetus Of generous use OF
=" newspaper advertising space.
~ The chains have always been users OF
newspaper space and year after year they
have been increasing their patronage OF
the advertising columns of the newspapers.
This is the best possible testimony to the
faith of the chain stores in newspaper adj
vertising. They are operated strictly as
business enterprises. They are in a large
measure free from any of the influences
which operate to secure local newspaper
: patronage from locally owned stores. Cold
blooded business reasons alone control the
: placing of chain store advertising. They
have proved it through years of liberal
newspaper advertising. If that was not true
they would not be among the country
largest patrons of the newspapers.
While many Independent retailers waste
n money on advertising schemes and spend
much time and effort trying to devise ways
to succeed in business without using news
paper advertising, the chains go right
along placing their advertising in the
newspapers. No comment on their volume
of sales or success is necessary. Their rec
- ord speaks for itelf.
Independent retailer can take this adj
vertising leaf out of the book of the record
of their chain store competitors and peruse
a. it with profit, if they will go and do like
wise. az
