I _POLITICAL. | Pourricat. | POLITICAL | POLITICAL. | POLITICAL, An Answer to HYLAN and HEARST— Hylan holds the Tammany record for MISREPRESENTATION and COWARDICE. He has continually lied about the Mayor and when challenged to make good SLINKS AWAY. Back of him are the MUD-BATTERIES OF THE DISLOYAL HEARST, of whom the Berlin Vossische Zeitung in December, 1914, said: “i “An especially happy achievement of Count von Bernstorff is that he suceceded during a visit to William Randolph Hearst, the American newspaper king, in capturing this sovereign and over 600 American newspapers for the German cause. To capture Hearst is equivalent to a battle won. Since the visit of Count von Bernstorff to Mr. Hearst the whole Hearst press has come out openly for the German cause.” Below in one column are some of the charges made by HEARST AND HYLAN, and beside each is THE TRUTH: The Charge Hearst and Hylan allege that Mitchel favored his personal friend Reynolds by purchasing Dream- land from him at an exorbitant price. The Facts The purchase of Dreamland wag originally recommended by Dowling and a Tammany Board of Aldermen. $1,014,000 was the price awarded BY THE COURT, Mayor Mitchel fought this award, because he thought it excessive. Through his efforts the award was reversed, Not one cent has yet been paid to Reynolds for this property. The Charge Hearst and Hylan allege that Rockefeller controls the Board of Education and put in the Gary System, The Facts Rockefeller had no more to do with it than Hearst and Hylan, Mitchel is trying out the “work-study- play’? system in the schools because he wants to DO AWAY WITIL PART-TIME and because he wants every child in the public school to have FREE as an education as the children of the rich PAY for in private schools, ‘ The Charge The Facts The Charge The Facts Hearst and Hylan allege that A law was passed in 1911 by a Tammany con- —_— } e P % ly Hearst and Hylan allege that Rockaway Park was put on the public map in 1907 Mitchel surrendered Riverside __ trolled Legislature compelling the Fusion Administra- Mitchel purchased the Rockaway park from Reynolds at an ex- orbitant price.

The prop- erty was acquired and paid for during Mayor Gaynor's administration. Hearst considered the purchase of the park a good thing then and claimed TILAT ILE DID IT. The Facts This land was selected by the Gaynor Adminis'ri« tion. ‘LM COURT ILAS NO'T YET FIXED THE PRICE and Reynolds has not yet received one cent Lhe Gaynor Administration was compelled by law to select a site in 1912, The Court House Board or- dered the old buildings torn down, But before the city could begin to build, War conditions and prices were saa us, It would be bad business and a WASTE OF MONEY to build now. The Facts No money has yet been paid for Dreamland and the Marginal Railroad Yard. As to Vebt, Mitchel’s ad- ministration has authorized two-thirds less than either of the preceding administrations. As to Operating Ex- penses, the Budiet of 1917 shows in increase over 1918 by $8,882,540. ‘This excess is more than accounted for in an increase of $6,514,000 for EDUCATION, and an Park to the New York Central and gave away perpetual franchises.

The Charge Ilearst and ITylan allege that the tax assessment of the New York Central Railroad has been reduced because this corporation “controls” Mr, Mitchel. The Charge Hearst and Hylan allege that the tax assessments of the five tion to bargain with the Railroad. After a tremendous amount of work a bargain for the city was made. It included the ELIMINATION OF DEATH AVE- NUE—THE ADDITION OF 87 MORE ACRES TO RIVERSIDE PARK—QUIET, CLEAN ELEC- TRIC OPERATION IN PLACE OF STEAM—A FOUR TRACK $100,000,000 FREIGHT SYSTEM (paid for by the Railroad) IN PLACE OF THE PRESENT CONGESTED TWO TRACK SYS- TEM. As to “perpetual franchise,” the N. Y. Central already had it, and the city did not propose an additional franchise, The matter is still unsettled.

They know he is STRAIGHT. They know he is HONEST, No one ever questioned this until Hearst and Hylan TRIED TO WIN TITE ELECTION by lying and mud-slinging. Mr. Mitchel has been and is eager to mect Mr. IIylan or Mr. Hearst, or both, on any plat- form or at any place they may name and answer any question that they may ask. BUT THEY DO NOT DARE TO MEET IIIM. Hylan reads the SPEECHES TIIAT HIS BOSSES PREPARE FOR TM and lacks the courage to face Mitchel on any issue. Hearst the disloyal DIDN’T EVEN COME TO NEW YORK TO REGISTER, He has been directing his CAMPAIGN OF MUD from far off California. CITIZENS OF NEW YORK, ARE YOU GDING TO APPROVE SUCH A CAM- PAIGN? Are you going to turn down a man who is STRAIGIIT, CAPABLE and PATRIOTIC for a cowardly candidate who is owned and controlled by the MUD-SLINGING HEARST and by BOSS MURVILY, who is reaching for the Board of Estimate? The “ibuil's Eye” is the Fusion em- blem, Be sure to niongaide it Fusion Committee of 1917 Keep Mitchel on the job! HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS MITCHEL HAS DONE FOR YOU DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS: He has given you a POLICE FORCE TO BE PROUD OF, CLEAN STREETS, GOOD SCHOOLS, and THE LOWEST DEATIL RATE IN ITS HISTORY. During his administration CHILDREN HAVE BEEN GETTING THEIR RIGHTS, LABOR HAS BEEN FAIRLY TREATED, FIRE LOSS HAS BEEN GREATLY RE- DUCED AND EVERY DOLLAR SPENT HAS BEEN HONESTLY ACCOUNTED FOR, As War Mayor, he has made New York honored for its PATRIOTISM and safe by its PRE- PAREDNESS. The city is a BETTER, CLEANER and SAFER PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE IN because Mitchel has been Mayor, Will the citizens of New York allow Mitchel to be defeated by alot of mud-slinging, lying, dis- loyal men like HYLAN and HEARST en? reby turn the city over to Murphy and his hunory crew? IT’S UP TO THE VOLEKS 10 DECivi! The “Bull's Eye” is the Fusion om- blem, Be sure to vote slongeide it,
