NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Thunder of the biggest guns fired so far in New York's municipal campaign | sounded today in the wake of two big | rallies for Mayor Fiorello H. ILa Guardia and his Democratic opponent, Jeremiah T. Mahoney. It has been a long time since a eampaign engendered such fervor as| that exhibited last night, when an| American Labor party rally at Mad- ison Square Garden whooped it up for La Guardia and his running mate, Thomas E. Dewey for district attor- ney. Only a few blocks away, Demo- eratic supporters in the Hippodrome cheered Mahoney and Harold W. Hastings, Tammany candidate for dis- trict attorney. Mahoney dropped all other issues to blast away at what he termed La Guardia’s interest as a stockholder in the Russian-American Industrial Corp., “a Communistic organization,” and declared the “Little Flower” was & | “Red menace* that threatened the city if he were re-elected | Hasti dicted a Rackets elected. Dewey, threatened with a libel su by Charles A. Schneider, a Tammany leader, repeated charges that Schneider | had been paid money collected by | racketeers for acting as defense coun- el in a murder case while he was an assistant attorney general. Schneider | #aid he had done only his duty. A score of labor leaders and other | supporters of the Mayor, who is run ning on & Republican-Fusion-Ame: can Labor ticket, lambasted Tammany | Hall with charges that the “1938 bu get is out of balance because of votes of the Tammany majority on the Board of Estimates.” La Guardia charged Democratic members of the board had no regard for public welfare in voting to restore “useless jobs” to the budget Inited States Senators Robert F. r and Royal S. Copeland spoke at, the Mahone, v, Wagner declar- ing that the future of the Democratic party * N yo afekeeping. You must not let the strategy of the Repub- lican leadership divide you into two camps in order to defeat your ob- jective of social justice.” | Copeland charged high taxes and | lack of police protection under La | Gardia was g business out of Neéw York—a charge that labor leaders | at'the La Guard denied.

V eteran of Gra y Rebels at “Threats’ HeMay Be Ousted | Elderly Court Baliff Rails | at Three Judges on Bench. ' By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.—FEli Scott Dance, 95-year-old bailiff of Orphans’ | Court and only living Confederate vet- | eran in Maryland, rebelled yesterday | against “threats” that he would lose| his job if he failed to line up with a| certain political faction. | White and trembling, the aged sol-| dier left his desk in the court and railed at three judges on the bench.! He~ asserted that he had been ap- proached several times recently by men | who ordered him to “get right” in poli- tics or he would lose his job. In no uncertain terms he told Judges Charles E. Lynch, Frank 1. Wheeler and Clarence Luken he “wanted no more threats.” His voice rising in pitch, he contin- | ued a long tirade on Baltimore County‘ politics. The judges attempted to quiet h)m‘ with protests that they had done noth- ing to warrant the attack. James Sheats, court appraiser, a | week ago accused the three judges of being “political puppets” of James P. Kelley, high in Baltimore County po- litieal circles. The veteran was so shaken by Ohs force of his own speech that he was | taken home by relatives and put to| bed. He has held his job for 16| years.
