this: When the Bird Cage open

Just been reading over some Of
the editorials which the local pa
pers ran during the municipal
campaign. They make strange
reading.
One OF these editorials makes
reference to Mayor Irvines sin
cerity." Well. OF course. VIC don't
have to believe all we read. do VIC?
One of Our reasons for doubling
the statements comes from the To-
cal press.
For example where does the
Mayor stand on WPA? We are
printing what the mayor says are
his positions on WPA.
His First Stand
On January Is. 1910. the Cum
berland Evening Times reported
an interview between Mayor
Irvine and the Representatives
Of the Cumberland Chamber Of
Commerce. This Is reprinted
from that paper as being state
ment Of Mayor Irvine:
Il do not try TO hide my
stand" he said. The WPA is
one OF the worst things ever
started. Things would have
worked out without II. The syS-
TEN Is rotten. gentlemen"
His Election Stand
Screen wcekS rolled on aud il
came four days dUGy from the
time whcn WPA workerS iUould be
going TO the polls to votc in the
city election.
Mayer Irpinc made a radio dd-
dress. According TO the Cumbcr-
land News Of March Is. 1910, this
is what the man wlio did not try
10 hide his stand" then said.
Il firmly believe that under our
modern social and economic con
dition. We must tide over worthy
persons out of work by some type
OF public relief work.
i also believe that the Works
Progress Administrator is as good
a system for doing this as any
other that can be found.
And so the merry game goes
on with the local press joining in

Jimmy Orr Wins
Labor's long fight to get a labor

ly won when Jimmy Orr made the
grade. Organized labor. especially
the Clio forces. put on a great
campaign for Jimmy without any
fanfare or ballyhoo.
Now that laborS voice is RICH.
in the council chamber. VIC can all
look for better things-for a fair
and square deal for the working
man and a voice Of protest at the
rank favoritism which has been
shown to the vested and corporate
interests.
A little birdie tells me that some
OF the racketeers are uneasy at
Jimmy's victory. And well they
might be. because the new council
member is also a steady church
goer and officer.
