long tramp over to the pond OF
Paddy the Beaver, but he enjoyed
it, for there was SO much to see and
hear. AS he drew near the pond he
took the greatest pains not to make
a sound. He had learned by his
visits to the Smiling Pool how
Watchful Mr.. and Mrs. Quack are
and how very. very difficult it is to
get near them when they are sus-
pecting danger. And he knew, too,
that there would be another watch
man on guard with nose and keen
ears smelling the air for telltale
scents and listening for the tiniest
suspicious sound. And he knew that
that watchman would give warning
by slapping the water with a great
broad tail the very instant he sus-
pected any one coming. That watch
man was Paddy himself.
So Farmer Browns boy took care
to see to it that the wind was blow
ing in his face and SO from the pond
toward him. Then it could carry
on no telltale scent to Paddy's keen
nose. And he took the greatest care
to put each foot down softly. and
not to rustic single dried leaf or
break a single tiny fallen twig.
Presently, he began to crawl from
tree to tree. 1t was slow work, but
1t was very exciting You see. he
felt that he was matching his wits
and Skill against the wits and Won
farfn1 of fhn 1ift1o
pie he was hoping to see. At last he
reached place where by peeping
over an old log he could see all over
the pond of Paddy the Beaver. and
almost the first thing he saw was
Mr.. Quack, lazily swimming about,
the very picture Of contentment.
Presently Paddy the Beaver swan
across to his wonderful house in the
water and disappeared.
Farmer Browns boy waited and
waited. but there was no sign of
Mrs. Quack. For a whole hour he
lay there watching. He saw Paddy
come out again and swim across to
his dam and leave there a stick from
which all the bark had been stripped.
He saw Mr.. Quack go ashore at a
little low open place and settle him
self for sun bath. But still there
was no sign of Mrs Quack. Farmer
Browns boy chuckled to himself.
Il know your secret, old fellow,
and won't tell single soul, thought
he. you've got nest hidden some
where here and Mrs Quack is on it..
I'd like to find it, but I'm not going
to try. No, sir, I'm not going to try,
for if did you would worry and I
guess you've had worries enough. -
And with that Farmer Browns bov

A third candidate for Mayor is in

has been charged that this ticket is
communistic. Whether it be or not,
the votes 1t gets are not likely to be

rather from the other side. If Mr..
Abercaupht receives 5000 votes, it
may have its effect on the outcome

Both sides are likely to have plenty

from wealthy Republican contribu-
tors. The Democrats are staging a

The Bullitt bid for the PhiladeI-

effort on the part of the New Deal
ers to regain some of the political
patronage in Pennsylvania. The
Republicans have had control of the
State government since the 1888
election and Of the Philadelphia
government for years. Outside of
Pittsburgh, the city governments are
generally in the hands of the Re-
publicans. All that Is left to the

BuI|itt Facing Tough Race
For Philadelphia MoyoroIty

Hugh johnson as having written,
1T could still sell-in the pulp mag
azine under the title What Young
Bride Ought to Know" The Phila-
delphia Daily News has reprinted
parts of the book serially, as the
mayoralty campaign progressed.
So much for the general tempo
of the contest. Mr.. Bullitt is cred
tied with having been brought into
the mayoralty race by Senator
Guffey, ardent New Dealer, with the
approval of the New Deal inner
circle in Washington, if not of the
President himself. Some of the same
group sought to have Mr.. Bullitt
become the Democratic candidate
for Governor in 1888, and again in
1912. But the majority of Demo-
cratic leaders of the State would
have none of 1t.
Republican Stronghold.
The last Democratic Mayor of
Philadelphia was elected over 60
years ago, Samuel j. King. Since
then the Republicans have held con-
troll of the City Hall, except for the
administration of Rudolph Blanken-
berg, who ran on a Fusion ticket in
1911 and won.
In national and State elections
since the New Deal administration
came into power the Democrats
have done much better in Philadel-
phia. For example, in 1910 Pennsyl-
vania went for President Roosevelt
over Mr.. Willkie with a lead of
282, 900, and Philadelphia Demo-
cratic majority was 177000. In the
gubernatorial race last year the Re-
publicans carried the city by a scant
157 votes and some of the Demo-
cratic leaders claim that their party
really had majority, but that 900
Democratic ballots were thrown out.
In the mayorlty race in 1899, the
Republican, the late Mayor Lamber-
ton, won with lead of $4,000 votes.
Today Republican City Chairman
Harris claims that Mr.. Samuel will
be elected next week with a lead
twice as great as that. Democratic
Chairman Clark, on the other hand,
insists that Mr.. Bullitt will win
beyond doubt.
Democrats Bank on Roosevelt,
The Democrats are relying par
ticularly on the fact that Mr.. Bullitt
is considered by the rank and file as

the Roosevelt candidate In q city
that has shown its overwhelming
support Of the President in past
elections. The party is also banking
on its own improved organization in
the city and on a United Labor
Committee" which is hard at work
for Mr.. Buhitt. This committee
represents AFL, CIO and railroad
brotherhoods. It is similar to a
committee which worked for the
Democratic candidate in the guber-
material campaign last year.
Some labor leaders in the city
have declared for Mr.. Samuel, but
take it by and large, the great mass
OF the organized workers have been
committed by their leaders TO Mr..
Bullitt. Whether they will al vote
the Democratic ticket remains to
be seen.
The Republicans are thoroughly
organized in all the wards. They
have the better organization OF the
two parties, according to observers
here. Also, the $4,000 city workers
are on their toes. 1t seems that
Judge Curtis Box, Democratic can
didate for the superior court of
Pennsylvania, the only State wide
office contested for this year, in a
speech dealing with the city elec-
ton said, Whats the use of fool
ing ourselves. we want these 10000
jobs" The Republicans seized on
this, and have pointed out to n]l
city employees what Is likely to hap
pen to them If the Democrats win
the election.
Bullitt Offended Businessmen.
Mr.. Bullitt offended the business
men of the city when he posed in a

which has expanded nightly since
Mr.. Roosevelt has been President.
Anyway, If the Democrats win a
victory here next Tuesday it will be
a feather in the cap of the New
Dealers, who are looking forward to
the national campaign in 1914.
While Mr.. Bullitt was born in his
family's old home on Rittenhouse
Square So years ago, the Republicans
charge that he is not resident of
Philadelphia in the language Of the
law, which provides that a Mayor
must have been a resident of the
city for threee years prior to his
election. Mr.. Bullitt has home in
Massachusetts,, another in Washing
ton and third in Montgomery
County, Pa. He has maintained an
office in Philadelphia. The Repub-
licans will challenge his election if
he be elected and let the courts
decide
During the course Of the campaign
Mr.. Bullitt has, his opponents say,
showed that he knows very little
about Philadelphia and it's problems.
This ignorance, it is claimed is re-
sponsible for the fact that the
Philadelphia Bulletin, which origi-
nally was not unfriendly to Mr..
Bullitt, has now come out definitely
against him.
COP Assailed.
Mr.. Bullitt has attacked the Re-
publicans on the ground that they
have inefflciently handled the city's
finances, running up huge debt. At
the same time, he has promised a
repeal of the wage or income tax of
l per cent gross, which Philadel-
Evening star., 1943-10-26

phians must pay and which nets
about 21,000,000 revenue a year.
The Republicans reply that in the
last four years, under Mayor Lam
berton and Acting Mayor Samuel,
they have cut down the indebtedness
materially and balanced the budget,
as they have.
The gamblers are betting 3 to / on
a Republican victory. The more
impartial observers say that Mr..
Samuel should win with lead of
10000 to $4,000 votes. The vote will
be light, it is expected. In the
primaries in September the smallest
vote was cast in any primary since
women began to vote.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.
Star Staff Correspondent.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26-Wil-
liam c. Bullitt, wealthy silk stock
ing member of one of Philadel-
phia's leading families, is the New
Deals candidate to wrest control
of this city's government from
the Republicans. 1t looks like a
tough job.
Mr.. Bullitt, who was sent by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt as this country's first
Ambassador to the Soviet Union and
later as Ambassador to France, is
pitted against Bernard Samuel, the
present Acting Mayor. Mr. Samuel
is the antithesis of Mr.. Bullitt. A
product of South Philadelphia, he
started work in a stock broker S
house when he was 16 years old at
50 a week. He worked for the same
firm until he became Acting Mayor,
on the death of Mayor Lamberton in
194l.
When he was % Mr.. Samuel began
his political career. He became a
member of the 39th Ward Repub-
lican Committee. Later he was a
IllclllUCl VI bllC lCPubiASoii SlIS
Committee from the same ward.
In 1924 Mr.. Samuel was elected to
the City Council. He was reelected
four consecutives times, becoming
president of the Council. 1t was be-
cause he held that Office that he was
designated, under the law, Acting
Mayor.
Campaign Is Hot.
This City of Brotherly Love" is
at present engaged in one of the
hottest mud-slinging campaigns of
its history. If the war were not on, it
would engage more attention among
the voters. The Republicans have
dubbed Mr.. Bullitt wealthy play
boy, have attacked his morals and
charged that he let Woodrow Wilson
down during the Paris Peace Con-
ference. The New Dealers, on the
other hand, have called Acting
Mayor Samuel an outworn political
hack, who has failed to look after
the best interests of the city.
The Republican City Committee
dug up a book, Its Not Done, .
written by Mr.. Bullitt in 1926. In a
campaign pamphlet the committee
says that the book was concerned
mainly with scandal and pornog-
raphy" and quotes the late Gen.

What I myself saw in my four
years in Europe gave me a new
realization of the priceless rights
which we here enjoy.
No secret police can in the night
Whisk us away, never again to be
seen by those we love.
None of us can be deprived by any
party, state or tyrant of those pre-
cious civil liberties which our laws
and our courts guarantee.
None of us can be prosecuted for
practicing the faith which we found
at our mothers knee.
None Of us can be prosecuted, tor
tured or killed because of the fact
that an accident of fate might have
made us of the same race as the
Nazarene.
No American can be placed by
any party or government in a regi-
mented wise which takes from him
or her either freedom of economic
opportunity or political religious lib
erty.
What would the millions of unfor-
tunate men, women and children in
Europe give to be able to live and
enjoy such way of life?
Well, in this war, those are the
things in our lives which are in
jeopardy. Our boys are dying to pre-
serve them for us.
Then we can do no less than to
"say yes" and fill those war stamp
albums 1t is our duty and privilege
to help the secretary of the treasury,
Mr. Morgenthau, in his magnificent
effort to do the tremendous job of
getting the money to keep our boys
supplied with the weapons With
which to fight our fight.
Surely that is little enough for us
to do on the home front.
