MAYORALTY IDEAS
Judgo, Confident of Winning,
Outlinos Policies Ho
Moans to Pursuo
NO FAVORED INSPECTORS
Judge Pattcrnon, Orsnnlzation can
didate or Mayor, felt so confident to
day of betas returned a winner when
the completo oflieinl coant shall be
made known that he outlined some of
the policies he will pursue ns Mayor
of the city. '
The judge was Interviewed while cat
Jne breakfast at the Union Leapue. The
primary returns at that time ruc him
a small plurality over CotiKresman
Moore, his opponent on the Independent
slate.
One of the concrete policies Judge
Patterson said he will pursue, If elected
Mayor, will be to put a stop to political
-appointees as highway inspectors nnd
inspectors of building construction.
"Such Inspectors," Judge Patterson
said, "will be nppointed solely by me
vand not upon recommendation from
either of the Varcs or any other pollti
cal leaders or contractors.
'Aa to the matter of awarding city
contracts, all contracts will be award
ed to the lowest responsible bidder, re
gardless of friend or political faction.
And, In order that there will bo no dis
crepancies in the matter of inspection
on uny work contracted for the city,
ray own inspectors will act 'without
fear or favor '
"They will do tbeir duty as disin
terested emplojes of the city and not
for the gain of any contractor or poli
tician. "I believe that the matter of building
and highway inspection is an import

ant factor in the contractor question.
When a man is appointed inspector la
one of the bureaus who has been rccom-'
nended for the position by a contractor
he naturally 'looks out' for the interest
of tho man who got him the position.
1 will do awuy with that clement."
Would Toslpono Celebration
The candidate was Interrupted nu
merous limes by Ills manj friends at the
league who htopped to congratulate hlni
upon what appeared at that time to bo
his nomination. A number were, in
favor of conducting a "victory jubilee''
n the spot.
"I feel confident I will win," Judge
Patterson told them, "but I would
rather save the celebration until the
result is made official. At the present
time, although it appears that "i am
the victor, there seems to be consider
able doubt about it. Early last night
the returns placed my nomination In the
lead; they later gave Mr. Moore the
majority, and when I awoke this morn
ing 1 found that the count was in mv
favor I think we hud better put off
the celebration until all doubt about
the issue is cleared up."
When asked as to what his relation
ship would be with the Vares should he
be elected Mayor, Judge ratterson said :
"1 will be dictated to by no one; T
will not bend the knee to any political
faction and I will not nccept any sug
gestions for the conduct of the Major's
ofhee from any one who has his per
sonal Intrrest to heart more thau the
interest of the city of Philadelphia.
"If elected Mayor, I will conduct my
office to the very best of my ability
with the view toward doing cvcrjthlug
for the betterment of conditions in the
city and for its improement along ccry
line.
"I fully realize that the next Major
has quite a task on his hands to stamp
out what have seemed to be hereditary
conditions in the ofbee of the Major.
I promKe that when mj term as
Major, should I be elected, expires the
office of the Mayor will be looked upon
in au entirely different light. I am
firm in my policy of a civic government
of the people, by the pcoplo and for
the people."
As to appointees for city positions.
MMMBMMMa
Judge Patterson said he will not play
any favorites when it cornea to a qucs
tlon of the man best suited for a po
sition. "The best man for the job will be the
one who gets It, regardless of his po
litical affiliations," he bald.
The judge was asked whether he
would retain all present Incumbents In
City Hall positions.
"In reply to that," he (.aid, "I will
saj that It would be fooIWi to eject
the present employes at Citj Hall who
are fully competent to fill their posi
tions and replace tho ofhees with iti
ciperlcnced men. Those who arc com
petent will Btay and thoso who nrc not
will lime to get out."
