f Jh campaign tolct a mayor of New

tion than any other-political contest
tthis year, completely overshadowing
litis election of governors In Maeaciu
yrtte. Virginia and elaewhere. This la
Ijai off year for political campaigns,
M(tade doubly"-! by the preponderlng
influence' of the war.
IS i The New York fight, however, pos
Vesaea many thrills. It Ut the old con-test-
once mora, over handing to Tarn
many the control of city affairs.
Q'uraulng the tactics which have be
Home necessary In later years, Charles
3 Murphy and hla lieutenants have
fijninlriated as their candidate a man
5jlth an apparently faultless personal
record. Otherwise he has not much of,
I record, though known as a reputable
Ihd respectable judge. His name is
JjDhn F. Hylan.

Qi llylan's chances did not look excep

There seems to be some doubt as to

Istrust. The repudiation of Hylan by

Achievement
Epochal, Says Chamberlain
Accomplishment of Extra Session Proves That a Democ
racy Can Prepare for War Effectively When the
Occasion Demands; -Politics Forgotten.
"It has been frequently said that a
democracy cannot prepare for and wage
a war of magnitude and long duration
as successfully as can an autocracy,"
says Senator George E. Chamberlain of
Oregon in an interview with the New
Yorlf Times, reviewing the achieve
ments of the extra session of congress.
"That a democracy can prepare for
war when the emergency arises and
can do it quickly and effectively has
been proved in AVnerlca since, the dec
laration of war with Germany In April
last. and. unless all signs fail. It will
be demonstrated shortly that democra
cy can wage war successfully. ,
"It is true that a fcart of the pro
gram of preparation has been to con
fer almost autocratic -.powers upon
President Wilson, as the commander In
chief of the army and navy a power
contemplated by the framers of the
constitution for, in a time -of. stress
and storm, there can be no division of
responsibility; and, in the' last analy
sis, upon the president must devolve
the successful prosecution of a war.
Becord of Achievement Remarkable ,
"Congress has been criticised for dil
atory tactics and methods. Impatience
has been expressed ; in ; many quarters
that. quicker action ihas not been had
on measures of great importance xome
country at this tittis". But i the record
oi? legislative accomplishments is the
knpst remarkable 'ever made by any
Congress, and,"- wight, safely be, said,
by hy legislative body in the world.
It la true thatCWh senate, the dis.
cusslons on a few important bills
seemed to be prolonged, to an unneces
sary extent, but It can safely be said
that-no real obstructive or filibuster
ing methods were, resorted to In any
case. .
"The discussions which were had
were perfectly legitimate, ana, in
nearly every case, not only elucidated
the subject, but improved legislation.
Even those members of congress who
might be placed within the so-called
pacifist group, contended themselves,
as a rule, with voting against the
measures which were looked upon as
necessary to our country's welfare at
this particular juncture. We have the
wqrd. of Lord Balfour, and of Lord
Northcllffe as well, that what has been
done by congress has been done with as
much haste as was consistent with
sound legislation; and It must not be
forgotten that the legislation which
has been passed has been almost! ev
olutionary and. in some instances, as
has been so frequently stated, viola
tlve of traditions and ancient land
marks. In addition to that, untold mil
lions have been appropriated, and, in
nearly every instance, without any
questions being asked as to the meth
. ods -of expenditure. Taking all of
these thlngs'into consideration, there'

fore, congress has been prompt to meet
the demands upon it for the successful
prosecution of the war.
Partisan BUs X.ald Aside
'he, beautiful. thlng; about It all is
that thre has been no partisan spirit
shown in the discussion of any of
these great war measures. Democrats
and Republicans have worked ami
voted together, and, in the last analy
sis, all have vied with each other to
da what was best, leaving out of con
sideration political or personal ques
tions. "You ask if the country approyes of
this legislation. The unanimity with
which senators and- representatives
have stood for it all "indicates that it
is sustained by the people. Having
been forced intoa war with the most
efficient military despotism the world
ever knew, motives of patriotism, our
country's safety, the liberty of the cit
izen, and the perpetuation of our insti.
tutlons, all demanded prompt, radical. -j
ana eiiective legislation. Opposition to
legislation that has been passed Is
sporadic. It will be found in groups
of extreme pacifists, pro-5erman sym
pathizers, and among men who care
not what the fate of bur country may
