BATTLE TODAY

Admirers Of Mayor John s.

Cavaraugh, rival candidates
for the mayoralty nornina-
ton were jubilantly conf
dent Of victory this after
noon as the Democratic pri-
maries opened at 1890
o'clock. Balloting in 80 dis
tricts will continue until 8
o'clock this evening. The
results will not only determ-
inc the identity of the Dem
ocratic party's standard
bearers in the coming city
elections, but will have a de-
cisive influence on the make
up of the entire party ticket.
Some 10000 persons are eligible
to vote. Some predict that less
than 10000 ballots viii be cast due
to conflicting work schedules, to
the absence Of 5000 men and wo-
men with the armed forces and also
to lack of enthusiasm on the part
Of many for participating in fam
lily battle.
Both sides were inclined to pre-
dict landslides for their respective
candidates. Less partisan observ
ers believe that 1t will be nip-and-
tuck affair. Chief interest Is being
centered in the outcome Of the 5th
ward. Mayor Monagan and mem
bers of his administration boast Of
strength ION the hill", while Cava-
naugh's followers believe that the
vote Of tout east" residents will de-
eide victory in that particular ward.

2nd and 3rd wards without much
opposition. They also believe that
they will carry the LIST and 4th BY

Lets Get

Soldiers Cry
BY ROBERT VERMILLION
UNITED Press Stan Correspondent

UNITED Press stan Correspondent
Allied Headquarters, North Africa,
Sept. l7.-(UP)-"Let's get at 'eml"
That was the cry with. which
American achievements charged
the bloody beaches at the climax Of
the battle Of Salerno Gulf and It
exemplified the spirit with which
Americans and Britons, fighting side
by side, smashed the bogey Of Nazi
invincibility behind the walls Of the
preached fortress Of Europe.
The Fifth Army Is still fighting
furiously on the Salerno trent and
there Is harder fighting ahead,
but today some Of the story can be
told Of how the Allies were knocked
back to within three miles Of he
beaches, blanketed by q hellish en-
envy barrage, and came back to end
what was probably the Wehrmacht's
most fanatical offensive smash since
Stalingrad.
The story can be told triumphant
ly only because of the most complete
cooperation between land, sea and
air farces and the supreme conf
dence Of the Allied troops that they
were better than anything the Nazis
could offer.
"The saving Of the Bridgehead
was due to several things, but q
typical example was the spirit of the
reinforcements who with the help
of the Navy fought their way
through a hellish barrage to the
beaches" military source said.
Bloody Noses
There they saw their comrades
Of the original landing force with
bloody noses, but were not dismayed.
They said: Let's get at emit and
they did"
Military sources gave indominat-
able spirit, credit for much of the
