as the leader of a corrupt political
organization, tied in with the un-
derworld, but especially intent upon
fraudulent elections.
When you meet Mayor Kelly in
his office in City Hall he doesn't give
at all the impression OF corrup-
ZIONIST Indeed, he seems to have
the interests of the city at heart
He Is genial, intelligent and force
full. And when he completes his
term of Office he will have been
the chief executive officer of Amer
icas second largest city for a
decade
The complaints against Mayor
Kelly are that he does not clean out
the gamblers; that his organization
rolls up too big votes on election
days, and that he got back of the
Roosevelt third-term candidacy
this year in big way in order to
have a respectable front to show
the voters of Chicago.
stuck His Neck Out"
If Mayor Kelly has a martyrs
complex because of the avalanche
of attacks that have been let loose
on him, he doesn't say so. He might
admit, if he were pressed, that he
stuck his neck out in the national
political field this year when he
succeeded, with President Roosevelt s
backing, in bringing the Democratic
National Convention to Chicago,
over the opposition of former DEM
ocratic National Committeeman
Jim" Farley, who wanted it to go
to Philadelphia That he stuck his
neck out still further when he and
his organization circulated petitions
in Illinois for Roosevelt, in order
to enter the President, without his
open assent, in the Illinois presi-
Dental preferential primary last
spring. And when the Democratic
National Convention opened here in
July, Mayor Kelly delivered the first
speech and the first demand that
Roosevelt be drafted for a third
term
His friends say Mayor Kelly and
his organization are being excoriated
by Republican orators in order to
get votes for Willkie in downstate
Illinois and in the rural sections Of
the country generally. IT'S a ma
chine-and corrupt one at that

torting to charges that the Demo-
cratic organization in Chicago is a
corrupt machine.
Some Corruption Admitted.
Mayor Kelly's friends add that he
has given the city of Chicago an
excellent government on the whole,
that its schools are in fine condi-
ton. its sanitation and health are
good. that its police force measures
up to a fine standard. They admit
there are gamblers in Chicago, but
insist that they will be found in
any great aggregation of human
beings. They admit that there are
some corrupt ward and precinct
leaders, but say there are bound to
be such. and even a percentage Of
crooks in any very large force Of
city employees. They deny that
Chicago is honeycombed with them,
or that the Kelly administration is
tied up with crooks and gamblers,
as has been charged. They deny
that any charges of corruption have
been leveled at any department Of
the city government. And they
add, finally, that the election ma
chinery of Chicago is in the hands

enemy of the Mayor, although the
judge is also Democrat.
That there have been election
frauds and that some of the viola
tors of the law have gone to Jail
are manifest facts. Where there has
been so much smoke there is bound
to be fire. No matter what the Mayor
and his friends may say, Chicag0S
Democratic organization has the
name of being politically corrupt.
The Kelly-NaSh machine is about to
be given going over by the Senate
Campaign Investigating Committee,
and also by special attorney as
signed by Attorney General jackson
to inquire into violations of the
election laws in the presidential
campaign. This special attorney is
Maurice M. Milligan, former United
States attorney in Kansas City. Mo,
who handled the prosecution of Boss
Tom Pengergast of the Demo-
cratic machine in Kansas City, and
sent Pendergast to Jail.
1t is only human if Mayor Kelly
and his friends look with disfavor
on being investigated" That would
be true, even if they have nothing
to cover up. Perhaps the Mayor is
wondering why the administration
in Washington should sick Mr.. Milli-
gan on them at this time Mayor
Kelly was this year elected a men,
ber of the Democratic National
Committee for Illinois and he did
have large part in the arrange
ments for the draft" of the Presi-
dent for a third term nomination.
He succeeded Patrick Nash, who re-
tired.
Charge May Prompt New Deal.
The Republican presidential cam
paign has made much Of the align
ment of the bosses of Democratic
city machines with the New Deal
President in this contest. 1t is said
fatty that the President has been
willing to go along with the bosses
in return for votes for himself for
President. 1t may be that the ad-
ministration, recognizing the effec-
tiveness of this kind of attack, is
moving now to checkmate it and
give the country the impression that
it will stand firm against any illegal
acts which may be in contemplation
by machine leaders. At any rate,
it looks like good play. u Mayor
Kelly and others are embarrassed
by it. they will just have to stand
the gaff.
So far as his ardent support for
Roosevelt for a third term is con-
cerned. Mayor Kelly has a firm
conviction that the President Is
needed again. He has seen people
in the bad days in Chicago eating
out of garbage cans and he gives the
President credit for bettering condi-
tions enormously among the desti-
tute and unemployed.
With the death of Gov. Henry
Horner. Mayor Kelly is left at the
very top of the Democratic heap in
Illinois-With no one to challenge
him except, perhaps. Senator Lucas.
Judge Jarecki and States Attorney
Courtney are both important figures,
but they are leaders with no organ
iZation back of them to speak of.

Air Force, but also for the South
American republics.
The visit of the chiefs of staff Of
the South American countries has
been instructive and useful. These
senior officers have seen America at
work They have been favorably
impressed by what they have seen
of the United States Army and
aviation, but they have been par
ticularly impressed by the potenti-
alities of the United States as
workshop for the armies of the South
American nations.
Sure Of Adequate Force.
There is no question that all these
states can put into the field, If
necessary, an adequate number of
men. These can be trained without
much difficulty But If only little
has been done in the majority of the
sister republics, it was because the
governments did not know where
they could get the necessary war
material
Totalitarian propagandlsts have
been telling a story which sounded
plausible. They spread the news.
based on reports from the United
States itself, that this country is
tagging behind in rearmament
That it has a tremendous man
power, but it will take years before
the factories. which think in terms
of business first, will be properly
equipped to furnish the American
Army the necessary war implements
Under these conditions it would be
hopeless for the South Americans
to think OF the possibility of OBJ
tanning arms. ammunition and air.
planes from the United States.
Some OF the senior officers OF
these republics have seen how the
German and Italian military ma
chinery worked and were duly i'm
pressed. They had heard about the
United States being slow and soft.
Hence they were inclined to look
skeptically at the efforts of their
governments to bind themselves to
this country in a policy of hem
lSpnere defenSe.
Inspection an Eye Opener.
The visit of the chiefs of staff to
the various Army posts. to military
airdromeS, and especially to a num-
Der of factories, has been an eve
opener. They realized that while
it was true that this country is not
nearly as we'll prepared as the to-
talitarians, the work done in few
months is astonishing. They have
further realized that after the end
of this year, when production will
be in full swing, America will be
able to provide for her own needs
and those of her friends and asso-
ciateS in the south as well.
The first practical result Of the
visit of the chiefs of staff of fT
South American republics will be
substantial order from all these
countries for arms and airplanes
to satisfy their needs in the event
they have to use force to defend
the hemisphere.
