Mayer Moere
Faces in a Lene
Fight Against Evil
MAYOR MOOHH is just new the
target for mere personal attacks
than any mayor in the last twenty-five
years.
Every gambler, Ktrcct boekmuker,
ambulance chaser, dlvckeeper nnd ether
Influence for evil that swells the under
world of the Ht is rejoicing In the
fray.
The mlimrU in city Council, as
membeis of the iity geveinmcnt, for
tunately make their attacks openly.
There- is, however, u background of
ether forces mere insidious because tliey ,
work under cover. They arc the held- .
ever members of the Varc machine that j
held positions in cltj departments either
by virtue of n rigorous Interpretation of ,
the civil service law, or through the
complaisance of directors nnd burenu
heads appointed by the Mayer. i
They form the battalion of what have ,
been described as "the borers from ,
within. Theirs is the secret mission :
the mouth-te-ear ges.ers who spread
rumor and play the spy. .
Ilesf.lc Hntteric I'mniisUril
Within the lust thirty duys. however,
every battel y of opposition bus been I
unmasked. The Mayer new knows who I
is for and who is against mm. i
His uttcinpt te purify the police force ,

and petty bosses is furnishing an ex
cuse tin n series of verbal pcr-nunl at
tacks upon him.
It bus taken en the cl .uaclec of a
crusade. It Is the old clement trying
te tur down the admiiiisliatieii.
There is ample o'cusien and great
id reason for this. Mayer Moero bus i
gei
leliberntely laid himselk open te nttiuk.
He has been forced te court it. He
has net cMided It in the , light, -t.

At. no time since Itis inauguration has
there been an hour when Mayer Moere
might net hnve secured pence nnd tran
quillity for his udininistratien. The
wordy minority in Council could then
have been silenced. The "borers from

August neon would bat settled ever
