Mayor Says It Is HI3 Duty to
I Warn of Disloyalty in Many
City Departments
ASKED TO GO TO POLLS-
Major Moore Issued a warning today
that "disloyalty of the most brns-.cn
type" exists In many city departments.
He urged citizens to go to the polls
at the coming primary election nnd de
feot the contractor bosses, who other
wise will be set up again "to le(
tiibittc upon the taxpayers and halt
so far ns they maj the advance of good
government."
The Mayor said he felt It was his
duty to issue this warning.
"I'nder the new charter. ' he said,
"the Mujor is presumed to keep out
of politics, and to see that officeholders
are kept out. but this applies only to
those nffieclinlllnrtt whn rnmn flti-nlr
under the .Major and the heads of elc-'
partments.
"It does not npplv to certain county
ontcers whicli owe allegiance to the con
tractor bosses, who are seeking a res
torntinn of power and privelege enjoyed
to tjie great Injury of the taxpayers
prior to thp advent of the new adminis
tration. "Rut the Major would be remiss in
his duty ns a public official placed in
the high oce of Mayor, by the people
whose confidence he enjoys nnd with
whom he intends to keep faith, if being
in possession of information as to the
menacing nttittttle of the contractor
bosses, he did not call the attention of
nil good citizens to the danger which
confronts them. He has faith that the
coming election will vindicate the ef
forts of the Mayor to conduct n clean
ndmlnistcntion, but the taxpayers are
warned thnt disloyalty of the most
brazen type based upon the assurance
of the contractor bosses, exists in many
of the departments, some of them being
piotected by civil service regulations."
The Mayor pointed out that the con
tractor bosses are making desperate ef
foits to put over their candidates, espe
cially in the Third congressional and
the Fifth seuatorlal districts.
"The Mayor feels it a duty." lie con
tinued, "while pledging his administra
tion to a continuance of its battle for
jecent goernmcnt in Philadelphia, to
proclaim with emphasis that the best
assurance of a clean city will be the
defeat of the lontrnctor boes on Tues
day next, and the nomination nnd elec-
tion of those who are willing to serve
and disgrace of the community.

The report further put the Republi

Cheer After Cheer as Federal
Convict 2253 Is Chosen
by Acclamation
RADICALS AGAIN BEATEN
Ity the Associated Press
Now oYrk. May in. Kugenc V,
Debs, federal convict No, 22.":i, was
nominated by acclamation for the pres).
dency of the United States at the" So
cialist party's national convention here
today.
Cheer upon cheer greeted the naming
of the Socialist lender, now serving u
ten years' sentence In the federal peni
tentiary at Atlanta, Oa., for violation
of the espionage act. The din wns con
tinuous, ns oil those who had been able
to crowd their way Into the conven
tion hall straimyl forward, eyes bent
on tho platform, where was set a life
plzcd portrait of Debs, framed in black.
No cnndldntc has been slated for the
vice presidency. Party lenders pre
dicted that the vice presidential contest
would be between Seymour Stedmnn, of
Chicago, general counsel of the Socialist
party, nnd Professor Scott Nenrlng, at
one time connected with the University
of Pcnnsylvnia.
The convention, by a ehow of hands,
voted down 74 to ,57 the renewed at
tempt of the Illinois delegation to in
ject into the pnrty platform demands
for n dictatorship of the proletariat,
with limitation of citizenship. The roll
call was demanded when the Chicago
delegates claimed doubt ns to the nc
curacy of the count. The exact vote
wnswhown to be 80 to CO.
In presenting the substitute plat
form Irving St. Tucker, of Chicago,
characterized the Hillqult platform as
n "funeral oration over the ghost of
Socialist principles." He said the Illi
nois delegation was not trying to ob
struct or break up the Socialist party,
but rather to unify it. He said lie be
lieved their program contained tho
planks on which Debs would wish to
run.
Municipal Couit Justice Jacob Pan
ken, of New York, wns unanimously
chosen chairman for the day. George
K. Rocher, Jr., of Rostou, wns elected
vico chairman.
Kugene V. Debs, nominated today for
President on the Socialist ticket, now
is convict Nn. 225.'! in the federal peni
tentiary at Atlautn, Gn.
He began serving n ten years' sen
tence for violation of the wartime es
pionage net April 13. 1010, when he
entered the Mouudsvillc, W. Va., fed
eral penitentiary, nftcr nil appeals in
his behalf had failed. He was removed
to the Atlanta prison last June.
His present imprisonment resulted
from governmental investigation of n
speech in Canton. O.. on June 10. 1018.
which led to his nrrcst two weeks later
for opposing the war nnd urging labor
to rease all activities whicli In nny way
tended to prolong it.
Debs is sixty-five years old. His
presidential nomination today is the
lifth his party has given him. In l.v.)l,
irom .unv to isnvemnrr. he served n
sentence in jail for contempt of court
in au Illinois conspiracy case while nn
acknowledged lender of the Sociullst
party.

ers Inte jesterdny at the College Club,
1300 Spruce street.
"There Is no reason why classrooms
should be closed four hours n day." he

it would be extravagance to erect new
school buildlucH."
Professor Schoch told of the "double
shift plan introduced in the West
Philadelphia High School in February
to relieve class congestion. The ca
pacity of the school was expanded from
1200 to more thnn 1700 pupils. Teach
