The people felt this locomotive engineer knew how to handle the municipal throttle. R<t elected in 1922 by an overwhelming majority, he had won the confidence of the people, for they recognized in John F. Hylan a mayor more thiyi a political candidate. New York became a clean city. In the historic old City Hall he has -evolved delegations of eminent people from all over the world. In ‘the reception room is a life-sire portrait of Lafayette painted by Samuel F. B.

cast thirty or forty ballot* before the nomine*- is selected. Twelve years ago at the Baltimore- couvc-ntlcn Woodrow Wilson was nominuted on the forty-sixth lucMot and fouj years ago at the Ban Francisco convention. Governor James Cut was nominated on the forty-second bgllot With no break on the thirty-third ballot today, it is possible that the record may Im* brok en this year. Like the republican convention four years ago, the leading candidates had suflhient votes , from the various glute* to deadlock the convention and as a result Warren I ( G.

have happened at this important co' ner and the new regulations are expected to relieve the danger and collisions at this point. When driving on Adams street, either from the east, or west and north on Mercer a'<nm and wish to drive on Winchester street you must stop where the sign reads “STOP.” These so-called bulevard stop regulations are in force in many of the cities and tend to regulate traffic In a safe and sane way. When the regulations tire disobeyed the driver or motorist takes his own chances, for the person having the right-of-way on Winchester street need not stop at the street crossini? Obey the law and you'll not have an accident. Keep in mind, when coming to the Winchester intersections that you stop your car. - ~“ IBig Features Os RADIO j Programs Today WLW. Cincinnati.
