4 Choice Successor Murphy May Cause Tammany Split IIylan*s Opposition to Selection of Surrogate Folev Be-1 lieved in Some Quurter to lie Dictated liv Hearst Who | Would l>e Glad to See Tainmanv Weakened By ROBERT T. SMALL 1921, By Th? Ad?anc?) New York. May ?>.?Mayor Hylar. { seems to think it will give the peo ple too much of an insight into Tarn-, many affairs for a man to resign a $15,000 job to take the leadership, of Tammany Hall, which carries not salary at all. In other words the mayor believes, that a man should be wealthy in his) own right before he can take a po-: litical position of this sort?a posi-, tion which carries with It the right' of supreme dictation in New York! City affairs. The late Charles F. Murphy had made a comfortable fortune for him-l self in the saloon and contracting i business before he became the czar! of Tammany. His friends avow that ? his Income was increased during his tenure of office only by his invest-1 ments in outside concerns. The old guard in Tammany is say-1 Ing today that Mayor Hylan's state-' ment. hitting at the proposed ap pointment of Surrogate James A. Fo-J ley, as Tammany leader, is merely a gesture dictated by William Ran- J dolph Hearst, who would like to see, Tammany weakened If not disrupted) by an inside flght. A Tammany di-; vlded against itself would not stand. The rule of the leader must be ab-1 solute. Mutiny in the ranks would spell defeat for this most unique of; political institutions. Tammany has Its own methods ofi taking care of Its minor officials. They are all, or nearly all, placed on the city payroll in one capacity or another, at salaries ranging up to $8,000 or $9,000 a year. No provi sion ever has been made for the leader, however. All of them have had visible means of support .when they undertook the direction of Tam many affairs. The late Richard Croker was a very wealthy man. "Boss" Tvre^a got rich quick and paid for it by spending some of his Idle time in jail. Mayor Hylan's idea is that Tam many cannot stand the "blow" of having a man resign a $15,000 a year judgeship to take the honorary position of Tammany Hall leader. Yet that appears to be in the cards today. Judge Foley is an extremely popular man in the Tamnianv organ ization and the sentiment in favor of his selection as leader has been growing steadily since Mr. Murphy's unexpected death. He has not been a district leader, but he is the son in-law of Mr. Murphy and he imbibed much of the latter's political wis dom. He also knows the Murphy methods in Tammany. Surrogate Foley's friends are very resentful of the remarks made by Mayor Hylan. They do not regard the mayor as entirely loyal to Tam many because he has been consort-j ing too much with Mr. Heerst. Mr. Foley eventually will come Into ag good share of the Murphy fortune, it is believed, and thus will be able to live comfortably without a salary. Tammany, according to its ene mies. always has been able to lay a heavy levy upon would-be officehold ers. No man can go to Congress In the Democratic districts of the city without the consent of the Tammanv boss. No man can go on the bench, no man can aspire to a big city job unless the Tammany boss says "the word." There never has been such a con crete political machine anywhere in the world. Tammany Hall Is a big political business. While all the indications today are that Surrogate Foley will be elected leader, thus carrying on the Murphy '"dynasty," Democrats recognize quite thoroughly that Governor A1 Smith will be the real power behind the throne both in Tammany and in the state. The governor could not afTord to take the leadership at this time when he Is aspiring to the Presidency of the United States. It Is said he pre fers to work with Mr. Foley. The latter is one of the young men of Tammany, being Just 4 2. Like his late father-in-law and like A1 Smith, he is a product of the teeming East Side, where political leaders grow like weeds In a garden. Community Advertising Is Breaking All Records Now States, Districts and Cities are Spending Vast Sums "Telling the World" of Advantages and Resources That Make Them Attractive to Home or Fortune Seeker By J. C. ROYL.E (Copyright 1*24. By The A&otnct) New York, May 6.?"I'll tell the world" may have pone the way of other worn out slang phrases but it is still being followed as a policy by many of the states and communities of the country more faithfully thai; ever before. Community advertising is heavier at present than it ever haa been before and is more widely dis tributed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be expended in the next few months in outlining the advantages of states, districts and cities to the remainder of the country. Of these sums, it is probable that dally news papers will secure between 60 and 70 per cent, the remainder being split between magazines, pamphlets and mail matter. This tendency to advertise com munity advertising Is not confined to any section of the country. Or ganized business effort devoted to advertising by railroads, hotels and communities has done wonders In popularizing New England as both a summer and a winter playground and this effort is being continuously exerted. The state of Maine Is spending 130.000 this year for news paper advertising. At the other cor ner of the country, the all year club' of Southern California Is following up its successful campaign of 1923, when $200,000 was spent, by an ad vertising effort which will cost $350,000. The Atlantic City Hotel Men's As sociation now is sponsoring a propo sal to raise a fund to advertise New i Jersey, its homes and resorts. T?ie Oregon Hotel Men's Association is playing up the slogan "the laclflc Northwest?the summer playground of America" and In addition to the newspaper advertising, Oregon busi ness men and merchants are using that phrase on their business sta tionery and advertising material. The Portland, Oregon, chamber of commerce has inaugurated a two year campaign for which $300,000 has been raised. During the next Ave years, th*> state of Florida will spend at least $200,000 a year In outlining Its at tractions to the remainder of the nation. Across the country. Callfor nlans, Inc., report that their adver tising appropriation for 1923 was $400,000 and that last November special additional campaign started which will cost approximate* ly $250,000. National magazines, newspapers and other vehicles are being used. The Salt .Lake City chamber of IICVK8T Torn SAVINGS IX HAKE DOMM.

The tentative ad vertising budget of the Denver tour i 1st and publicity bureau is $150,000, {or double what was spent in 1923. | The Sunshine Climate Club of Tus jcon, Arizona, has raised $50,000 to {spend for advertisements in Eastern | magazines and newspapers. El Paso, (Texas, started a campaign October I 27 last which will cost $150,000. In | the Southeast the state of Georgia : has $50,000 to spend in outlining the ! industrial possibilities of that region. Hotels and railroads are playing a big part in the advertising of com munities. The Northwest is receiv ing Invaluable aid from the cam | paigns being run by the Chicago, [Tiurllngton & Qulncy, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern : roads. The newspapers and maga Izlnes are to be used by carriers to (tell about the development and his tory of the Northwest states. This campaign will continue for thSee years.

"Unless one haa had such trouble, they don't know what it is. I was talking to a neighbor one day and told her how I had been affected. She told me it was indigestion and to try Blaek-Draught, which I did. I took a few large doses and then a pinch after meals, and for fully four months now I haven't had indigestion.

SAM SMALL IS HERE ON SUNDAY Noted Prohibitionist, Editor,' Statesman and Preacher tOj be Heard in City Morning and Evening. Dr. Sam Small will speak at j Blackwell Memorial Baptist Church,' Sunday. May 11 at 11 a. m. and at] the First Methodist Episcopal Church at 8 p. m., under the direc tion of the Anti-Saloon League of America and Anti-Salloon league of North Carolina. Local arrange ments are In the hands of Dr. J. H. Thayer and Dr. N. H. I). Wilson for the respective meetings. Sam Small Is again with the Anti Saloon League of America, and will spend his remaining years on the platform for that organization. He has been heard in every state In the | union many times, and often In the 1 other lands of the earth. Few | men In America have had as long a career In the movement for prohi bition as he has had. Perhaps no man's name is more permanently Identified with this movement than that of Sam Small. For many years a partner of Sam Jones, under whom he was converted forty years ago while filling the place of a prominent editor and pub lic official, Sam Small goon became known as a great evangelist in the principal cities of the United States him all the way into the fight against evil, and his voice was lifted against the liquor traffic in a day when such a protest was not very popular even in the church. As a very young man he was ad mitted to the bar. He then became private secretary to ex-President An drew Johnson. For many years he was an editor of Southern papers, notably the Atlanta Constitution, and Is still a staff specialist of that newspaper. Under appointment of President Hayes he served as secre tary to the American Commission in Paris In 1898, and as delegate to the International Literary Congress. While with the United States Army In Cuba in 1899 he was military su pervisor of public instruction, and helped to reorganize the public schools of the island. "The word eloquent is the weak est word that might be used In de scribing his platform ability,*' it Is declared by those who know him. "He seems to grow stronger and more convincing as an orator as the years go on. He has a rare fund of humor, wit and sarcasm, and he Is a strong and convincing protagonist of moral and legal reform and civic righteousness." EUROPE WILL NOT DISARM WITHOUT HECURITY PLEDGE Continued from Pago 2 Prime Minister, mane a desperate ef fort to meet the situation, particu larly at the Genoa Conference where he sought to establish a sense of I security by proposing mutual guar I antee treaties; that Is, treaties by which each nation recognized as final the frontiers dividing it from1 its neighbors. But unfortunately this ingenious proposal found little t favor on the Continent because Bel- i glum had been blessed with such a_ guarantee by her German neighbor! before IS 14 and recent memories bulked large. Today nearly all the debates between France and Great Britain turn on this single question' of security. The British Insist that! the French should reduce their armies, limit their air craft, aban don submarines, since all these weapons should be used in war and the two latter could be employed against Britain. The French offer; with very little hesitation to reduce their army, their aircraft, abandon submarines provided the British will join them in u treaty of alliance, insuring British aid ? to France in case of German attack. From the Continental European j point of view land forces present I son), thing like fire insurance. You can persuade the policy holder to re-! duce the amount of his insurance! certainly, but only In proportion as' you can convince him that the risk , of fire is diminished. You cannot persuade him by merely arguing; that the posession of fire insurance, is really the main cause of fire. You] might also persuade him to cancel his policies provided you gave him an undertaking to make good his fire losses. But what you will never( succeed in accomplishing is con vine-* ing him that on your advice and at i his own risk he should cancel the in -1 surance and rely upon your faith that where theire is no Insurance there will be no fire. No European can quite under stand the American and Britisch point of view in the matter of armament. He simply concludes i 'that because both countries are. geographically protected against in-1 vasion. they have based their moral i estimates upon the fact of Immunity. | Bue he becomes fairly indignant I when the Anglo-Saxon, operating! from assured immunity Invites hirai to assume grave risks and refuses' in any measure to share these risks. Quite incorrectly. 1 believe, but not i unnaturally, he sees in the double manoeuvre evidence of appaling ihyprocricy and rejects all arguments bascul upon higher idealism or superior moral standards. Such, after all, is the present Isituation with respect to land arma ments. At Washington two years ago. we could bring about an ad justment of naval strengths, a lim itation of armaments on the seas, I because Great Britain and Japan, j the only other sea powers, were per j fectly willing to deal with us on terms, the Japanese provided we agreed to resign all power to act of fensively in Asiatic waters, the J.W. Shannonhouse & Son PHONE 187 British, provided we abandoned a: naval program which would have given us world supremacy on the1 blue seas. because the British could, not In their weakened financial state' compete with us. Ilut today there is no similar, trade to be made with the Cont?nen-j tal Ku rope an states. Mr. Wilson' r^ind out In Paris what was the price which the Continent demanded fur substantial disarmament; that is.; for complete and unqualified adher ence to surh a League of Nations asj he dreamed. He thought I lie p. Ire reasonable, he offered to pay it but the I'nited States refused ctrrv out his contract. So in due course did the British. There the matter has stood everi since. There Is stands at this inn-1 iTtent. After Mr. Coolldge had made, his New York speech. the Contlnen , tal comment showed quit** clearly il.at '.he Continental states w ?.-.* mh! | i-idy to reduce their standing arm iet in return for an American guar antee of assistance in case of attack,: tut that they were totally uu billing' \z i educe their armies on tilo mere I chant e that thin would insure safety rather than invite attack, they to ruu all the risks meantime. Any In quiry at the appropriate foreign of fices of the Continental countries would, I venture to guess, disclosc a survival of this point of view. That is wiiy Mr. Coolidge's pro posal. which v. as properly guarded and showed no ;allure to appreciate the obstacles which lay in tiie path way, must, for the present at least, be regarded as purely academic so. far as the Continent Is concerned, while certain to arouse great enthu siasm In Great Britain which shares| our Immunity from invasion and our I dislike of conscript armies. If. however. Mr. MasDonald, In I confidence with M. Poincare, canl reach some agreements on the sub ject of British guarantees to France, then the question will be open again and not impossibly a new Washing-1 ton Conference might resume where the last left off. And the certain-' ty of such Anglo-French conversa tions is recognized both In L/Ondnn and Paris. The President's remarks, therefore, serve again to call Amer ican attention to what promises to be the most Interesting and Impor tant summer since the war and also emphasizes Am rican Interest and I possible participation.
