Warren viii Ask
All States for
Ants Law

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 81. UP)-
State Attorney General Earl War;
rem. president of the Attorney Gen.
erals Association of America, pre-
pared today to ask all state legisla-
lures to approve strict anti-sabotage
laws as an aid to national defense.
After comforting with southern
California district attorneys yes
terday, Warren said legislatures Of
40 states convening early next year
will be urged simultaneously to en-
act an emergency measure provid-
ing severe punishment for violators
of proposed statutory anti-sabotage
laws.
He said the suggested legislation
would provide murder charges
against any saboteur causing death
in the destruction of property, and
use of dynamite or poison would
be punishable by 30-year prison
term and $4,000 fine.
This measure is broad in scope
and designed to plug every loop
hole through which a saboteur
might hope to escape punishment
under existing laws" said Warren.

Flood Funds Urged
For Sononna County

SACRAMENTO. Oct. 81. CUP)-
Public Works Director Frank w.
Clark today recommended to the
department of finance that $1,000
be allotted from state emergency
funds to Sonoma county to assist
in repairing flood damage caused
by last winters storms.
The sum would be used in repair
of the Cloverdale levee on the east
side of the Russian river near the
Geysers- s-Cloverdale road, and would
be matched by the county.
Clark also recommended an al
lotment of $500 to reclamation dis
trict No. 10 Yuba county. to aid
in repairing levees along the Feath-
er river, weakened by seepage dur
ing the storms last year. The dis
trict would provide matching funds.

HOW TO GROW UP
AND BECOME MAYOR

II you Will keep clean and work
hard and stay honest, like your
mayor, you can grow up like him
and be respected as the first citi-
zen of your CITY," he told gather
ing of children.
Hague's success has been ad-
vanced by other things in addition
to cleanliness. Votes, for instance,
like that in 1897 when he was re-
elected mayor 110,743 to 8798.
Jersey City and Hudson county
do not use voting machines. There
is no genuine secret ballot. Voters
whose loyalty is suspected find it
difficult to reject the assistance OF
Hague lieutenants in marking their
ballots. If, perchance, there still
is doubt, crosses are erased from
opposite the names of anti-Hague
candidates, and redraWn where they
will do more good.
Registration lists in Jersey City
alone are padded TO an extent es-
timated conservatively at $4,000
names. Votes are cast in the names
of former residents long since re-
moved, OF inmates Of asylums and
hospitals, Of persons on their DEATH
bed, of men and women resting in
their graves.

HOW TO LIVE
! WELL ON $4,000

WELL On $SOOO
Born in 1876 in ramshackle
shack in Jersey City's poorest slum,
"the Horseshoe" which borders the
Erie Railroad tracks in the eastern
part of the city, Frank Hague was
one of eight children of an honest
hard working immigrant Irish
blacksmith.
He was expelled from school at
13 as incorrigible. His first job,
which he now describes as "menial,
was as blacksmith'S helper in the
Erie shops. He found swinging a
sledge too hard, so he spent his
time building up a political follow
ing among shopmen sufficient to
make him useful to the city's DEM
ocratic organization.
At 10 he was elected constable
of the second ward and for his
political organizing ability was made
attendant in the county courthouse
at $25 a week.
Today his town home is an elab-
crate 14-room duplex apartment,
with a cook, two maids, nurse
and chauffeur, in the Duncan
Apartments, the best building in
the best section of the city. He is
principal owner of the building
The regular rental on his apart
ment is $1,000 year. He pays $1,000
1t is almost hovel beside his
magnificent summer cottage at
Deal.
In winter Hague patronizeS the
best hotels in Florida. Before the
war he went annually to Europe
in first-class suites, using the ra-
diophone to keep in touch with
his duchy. He CANDLES heavily at
Saratoga and at Hialeah. He pays
in cash from bankroll held to-
gether with rubber band.
How does he do it, on $4,000 a
year?
A New Jersey man who asked
that question was taken by city
detectives into the city. hall base
ment, beaten two hours with night
sticks, and jailed for six months
for disorderly conduct.
In Jersey City they don't ask
anymore.

Two years ago a legislative COM
mittee began trying to get possess
sion of election books, to determine
by comparison of voters signatures
whether Gov. A. Harry Moore was
elected through brazen fraud in

continued criticizing Hague. He

He was plastered with eggs and
over-ripe vegetables, beaten with
fists and clubs and jailed six
months for disturbing the peace.
