Kern Renews Attack on Republican Machine Rule G. 0. P. Victory Would Be Setback for Good Government, Twenty-second Ward Club Told. Renewing his attack on factional political control of local governmental units. Superior Judge John W. Kern. Democratic nominee for mayor, addressed the Twenty-second Ward Democratic Club. 1083 Hanna street, last night.

•‘Under the present factional machine rule of the Republican party, with its hand-picked candidates, a local Republican victory would mean a serious threat to good government,” Judge Kern asserted. I "It would mean control of local government for the benefit of a po- , iitical faction. The administration of local government should be di- | vorced as much as possible from any other political principle except the principle that the best government is the best politics. “The citizen, above all. is interested in his county and city government because they most closely relate to him and the welfare of his home and family, and in determining what candidates to support, the voter should not act as a partisan, primarily, but as a citizen and taxpayer." 10.000 Cheer Minton Bp Timet Special MARION.

CITY'S LOTTERY UNBERATTACK New York Relief Measure Assailed by Church, Civic Groups. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Controversy raged today over the legality of the municipal lottery scheme authorized as a relief measure by New York city’s law makers and approved by Mayor F. H. LaGuardia. Although the plan was surrounded with the innocence of a Relief Membership Association, Mayor LaGuardia and his advisers were represented as doubtful of its approval by the courts. The mayor, however, gave his approval in the face of urgent need for relief funds for more than 100,000 needy families whose plight became desperate last week when relief payments were discontinued because of lack of money. Borough President James J. Lyons of the Bronx, sponsor of the scheme, is confident of its legitimacy. He claims that many legal authorities, including several state supreme court judges, have informed him the project is legal. Business interests and the city’s clergy joined in .protest. The Society for the Prevention of Crime threatened legal action. The Greater New York Federation of Churches voted a “vigorous condemnation” and Percy C.

The salaries would be tantamount to prizes.
