Me. Right here"
Frank Hague probably is the
most brazenly Fascistic dictator who
ever has attained actual power in
American politics.
He is important because Frank
lin Roosevelt has accepted him as
coadjutor in the New Deal; be-
cause during eight years the Roose-
welt administration has permitted
him to flout every concept of liber-
aliSm, with never more than a petu-
liant slap on the wrist for reproof;
because President Roosevelt, whose
word is law in Democratic party af-
fairs, never has raised an eyebrow
at Boss Hague's vice Craftsmanship
of the national committee.
He is important because, when
the presidents personal agents or
ganized third term draft, the poll
ticians they selected to handle its
mechanics were Boss Kelly of Chi
cago and Boss Hague of Jersey City.
In 1882 Frank Hague was not a
Roosevelt man.

He was wrong. He became one of
Roosevelt's most vociferous hackers.
To demnstrate his loyalty, he pro-
duced at Sea Grit a rally of 100000

campaign speech.

In 1886 Boss Hague was invited
by the president to the supreme
court dinner in the White House,
one of the most elegant and hon
ored of all state dinners on the
presidential agenda.

official spokesman announced:

HAGUE, THE
UNION KILLER
Frank Hague tells the courts
where to get off. Some judges sug-
gested timidly that it was unconsti-
tutional to "pick suspects up on
sight, slap them in Jail and hold
'em in heavy bail" Boss Hague, con-
sort of New Deal liberals, had no
such qualms.
Either you hold those men or
I'll hold you and remove you." he
says he ordered" the pudges. They
obeyed.
In 1881 Hague called 1400 bus
drivers together and told them:
"This union must disband." He
put the motion and resolution
dissolving the union was adopted.
When he became mayor, Hague's
first act was to order policemen
and firemen to quit their A. F. OF
L. unions or their jobs. Both char
tiers were surrendered at once.

MOTHERS PRECIOUS
By THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good evening.

Who dares to reprimand mothers only son!
Only out to have his little fun;
What if he gets rambunctious with red paint!
He's lust expressing himself, you know just quaint
Why should teacher bless him out
When in class he proceeds to shout!
That's just a natural reflex, let him honer,
It's touch and go if he'll ever be scholar
Mother doesn't want her precious curbed,
She wants him seen as well as heard.
Her juniors what you might term caro-
He's done destruction in a neighbours yard
But when all is said and done
It's hands off mothers precious SON.
Spare the rod and spoil the child,
Oh for a child that's docile and milo.

Delivered 10 Allies
Nearly 20 on Way to
Canada Forced Down
By Fog in Eost

The Allies today were halfway
along toward acquiring immediate
delivery on more than $40 Army and
Navy planes for use abroad. The
Navy already has made available
so reserve planes and the Army to-
day is continuing delivery on the
first batch of 100 pursuit ships, light
and medium bombers.
Intermittent fogs over the New

delays in deliveries to Houlton, Me-,
but it is expected most Of the fight
ing planes will be across the border

Yesterday between IS and 20 of the
planes were fogbound and had to
make emergency landings at air
ports in New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. One crashed in
Brooklyn, but it was reported the
pilot was not seriously injured.

try. it is understood

able for resale through a process of
sending back service planes to the
manufacturer in return for credits

made available yesterday are North
rop bombers.

would not be released by the Air
Corps until a satisfactory agreement
had been reached between the War
Department, the manufacturer and
the purchaser.
Massing of these service planes at
border points, 1t was explained, was
to save time in delivery after the
agreement had been reached.

day that the Army has made avail
able 30 more Alt Northrop bombers

capable of carrying 20 small frag-
mentation bombs for attack on troop

large demolition bombs IT is
understood no contract has been
signed yet for these ships. but that

option. This brings the total to 173
bombers made available this week
