Patrolmen Suggest That Only I Conviction by Higher Court Can Cause Dismissal OFFICEHOLDERS WATCHED Bj- OKOROK NOX McCAIN A very interesting piece of informa tion was dioelosed nt the headquarters of Congressman Moore. Independent candidato for Major, this morning. It came to the surface as a rc-ult of ccrtnin developments in connection with the big registration of voters yes terday. It may prove a pleasant or an unpleasant fact to some thousands of officeholders and payroll people who were unusually active on both regis tiation days. A kindred piece of information may also prove disquieting to several hun dred repeaters and their backers who have been operating on both registra tion days. In every ward in the city jesterda. with few exceptions, watchers and de tectives were operating under direction of skilled political worker". They were procuring facts concerning city em ployes, high and low, who have been perniciously active In the interests of the Varc organization : as it was put at Independent headquarters this morn ing, "the loud mouth and the bully" particularly. Not only the ordinary division worker who goes out uf his way to hold up, in any manner whatever, any citizen who desires to be assessed and regis tered, but the higher officeholder under whom such crooked work is being done is having an accurate record of his ac tivities prepared. "Spot" on Officeholders This work was carefully planned mid has been so effectively concealed that no hint of it got our until this morn ing. A special fujid for this pur pose, large enough to carry till nec essary expenses was subscribed at the beginning of the campaign, I under stand, by certain Independents.

CATALOG FREK McMI'sMS rsv The object is to "spot" every office holder who is unduly or perniciously active, so that when the smoke of battle has cleared away the Moore organiza tion will know just where to lay its I hands on those who exceeded the lim- i its of decent campaigning. The Independent leaders are practical politicians. It is not their purpose in the event of Mr. Moore's election, I am informed, to throw out neck and crop the men who opposed their candi date. Officeholders who, in their ex cess of zeal went to extreme lengths in an attempt to help win the cam paign, will, however, receive little con sideration, A prominent Independent, whose name I am not at liberty to use in confirming the statement that detectives 'and watchers were distributed over the city, said : "There are thousands of men hold ing office in this city in the Varc or ganization who are very tired of the system. I have talked to a number of them in confidence. They arc hopeless as to the outlook for any advancement. They see certain men kept in high places and drawing big salaries wno cannot control a corporal's guard of votes outside their own. "Soma of these division workers, after years of work and faithful serv ice, arc getting anywhere from $1200 to $2000 a year. They have been receiving that for years. Some of them arc long past forty, and if thrown out of their city jobs would have hard work get ting anything i-'se to do. In fact, what could they do? To Care for Faithful "It is not the purpose of the Inde pendents, where a man lias served the ' city faithfully, und lias served his party or faction ns well, to throw him 'out high and dry and leave him to his fate. Such men will be cared for. In every election, as we all kuovv, the big fellows, ward leaders and others. look out for themselves. The little fellow, the. precinct worker, is necessary in pol itics and should be, and will be, cared for if he is the right kind of a man. "Yes, it is true that wo have had paid watchers and detectives scattered through the city. We are getting their reports every day. They are being filed for future reference." There has been considerable enm plaint of attempts to block registration ' , ot Independent and Alliance voters. Assessors nave absented themselves. In ,, other instances assessors' lists uavc J disappeared. There has been wholesale false reg- istration charged against certain ' nran!, HPI... I.' . a I. . . ..muo. u ruunecniu warn in par ticular has, it is reported by the de tectives, hundreds of fictitious names on the registrars' books. It is worth noting thut nothing has apparently been done to halt this outrage. The fact is that the officeholders re sponsible for this condition are being given all the rope they want. The day of reckoning, I nm told, will come when all the evidence is in, and when it is shown that repeaters arc regis tered from five to twenty in a bunch from certain houses of certain office holders. When District Attorney Ito tan'8 new detective force, with the de tectives of the cnmmitteA nt eai-aiiIv and the other operatives in the employ I of the Town Meeting party, compare notes and start to comb out the bogus I registrants, then look for trouble. The Thirteenth ward, while not ns ' badly honeycombed with this special form of political vice ns the Fourteenth ward, is reported in n bad way. In general the Twenty-sixth ward is un der, close surveillance.

So when they wanted some" really "fire-proof filing cabinets, the Navy submitted samples of many makes to a standard test for fire and heat-resistant qualities." And one kind of cabinet the"Y and E" Fire-wall cabi net stood out as superior to all others. Because it is built like a safe. Anybody with a power-blast burner and pyrometer can make the test himself; the result is always the same. The metal in the ordinary steel cabinet is a conductor of heat, and the papers inside it begin to smoulder and burst into flames almost as soon as- the heat is applied. But, when the same heat is applied to "Y and E" Fire Wall steel filing cabinets, their superior protection is soon made clear. The asbestos in the dead-air chambers between the double walls of steel really protects the papers within from the flames without. The "Y and E" Cabinet proves itself by this Navy Test, to be over several times as fire . proof as any other steel filing cabinet made. FIRE-WALL STEEL FILING CABINETS When you buy these better cabinets you pay only the price of an ordinary cabinet, but get "Built-like-a.safe" construction. One fire would convince you.
