Y)efrnjed the expenses of his own

baker's loaves, tested the town

Philadelphia's next Mayor should be
n "dollar n year" man. -
He should not be rhe candidate of any
partisan organization, but should be
submitted to the voters as the iudbrsed
choice of all political parties audTac
tions. He should be intelligent and honest.
The nomination should be made "on
a silver plate, not in "a back room."
The Mayor must be moral. Ilcing a
good husband nfiil father is not enough.
He must be a progressiva man,
pledged to n square deal.
Such are some of the sentiments ex
pressed by representative Philadelphians
as to the type and character of the man
they desire as the next chief executive
of the city.
Hut. in the matter of naming a man,
who, in their judgment, possesses the

Not Question of Polities
Surface indications, resulting from
personal canvass of men and women, re
flective of many and varied business
and professional pursuits, arc sufficient
to show that the election of o successor
to Thomas IJ. Smith is not regarded ns
a questiou-of politics, but as a vital
factor in tho fabric out of which a
"Greater Philadelphia" is to be con
structed. No mention of a man identified with
politics as n profession Is heard No
one suggests continuation of the policies
of the present administration. Revival of
methods pursued by past majors finds
no advocate.
A new charter, a new Mayor, alike
broadly capable and modern iu scope',
are demanded by Individual citizens as
well as 'communities whose chief in
terest is the municipal uplift.
Definite views, confirming this con
viction on the part of Philadelphians,
havo been obtained in a series of state1

Liberty Division Chief Reaches
New York Says It Is Up to
Men to Decide
TALKS WITH MAYOR SMITH
Major General Joseph H. Ktihn, com
mander of the Seventy-ninth Division,
declared himself in fuvor of a divisional
parade in Philadelphia on his arrival
in New York today aboard the trans
port Kroonland.
Whether or not the parade is to be
held, however, rests with the men them
selves. Many of the returning soldiers have
said that they want to go homo im
mediately, rather than wait for n
parade. It became known today that
if this is their desire, it will have to be
giatificd.
General March, chief of staff, issued
an order recently which makes it man
datory to discharge all men who wisii it
within twenty-four hours of their ar
rival at thn demobilization camp.
At the War Department in Wash
ington it was explained this afternoon
that no difficulty would bo put in the
way of a parade of Philadelphia and
nearby units of the Seventy-ninth, pro
vided that the men themselves were will
ing to parade.
Confers With Major
General Kuhn, communder of the di
vision, evidently had in mind the anxiety
of his men to get home when he told
Major Smith his views concerning the
parade. The Mujor met the command
ing officer of the Libert Division on
the landing pier nt Hoboken, and ex
tended to him and his troops Philadel

day next week, probably Wednesday or
