R. in Election Get Labor Dupe to Spread Word, But Reputed Quotation Is Hazy By John M. Cummings THE Democratic leadership in the town refused to do it because the dudes running Willie Bullitt's campaign for Mayor know the danger of fooling with a two-edged sword. But they got the labor dupes to do it so if the thing misfires, which is altogether likeiy, the Democratic wise guys will be in a position to duck responsibility. What we're getting at is this last-hour attempt to convince suhat is known to the politicians as the labor vote that President Roosevelt will be all broken up and very much, disappointed if citizens tie the can to Willie Bullitt's coat tails at the municipal election tomorrow.

Now they don't say this in so many words. What they hand you, in throw-abouts which cover the city, is a direct quote of a remark the President is supposed to have made. They have Mr. Roosevelt chirping as follows, to wit: "I'm glad to hear that my friend, Bill Bullitt, is running for Mayor of Philadelphia." IT APPEARS that Jim McDevitt and other labor leaders supporting Bullitt are willing to take a chance on voters interpreting this reputed statement as an invitation to vote for Willie. Of course the President for any number of reasons Quick Return Of Postal Lists Urged Inquirer Aiding Campaign With Phila.

Jellison who searched the house and found no one, had returned to his station when Wucherer Christmas mail, in order that his department may return the lists with the key numbers added, said the lists "are not being received in the quantity needed to properly assist in having Christmas mails handled promptly." For this reason alone, The Inquirer's map and list of postal zone key number boundaries should be of great aid to those who, for lack of time or other reasons, have not filled out the Post Office forms. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE It is suggested that the map be used not only as an aid for the correct addressing of Christmas mail, but clipped and filed for any future reference. A full list of the boundaries of the key numbers on the map on this page is printed below. In many cases, however, the map itself will instantly reveal the proper key number, without reference to the list below. (Ringed dots Indicate approximate locations of postal stations.) In using the map, you will note that the names of most streets forming boundary lines are printed on either side of the lines.

Mail sent to persons living on either side of such streets should bear the unit number of the zone in which the street name Is printed.

pike, had returned home shortly after midnight and was fully dressed when shot. White said W'hite said he learned that the could be glad to hear of Willie's running for Mayor. We've heard cf people rejoicing over a lost dog. Let us assume for the moment that the labor birds are right and that Mr. Roosevelt, either directly or by implication, has injected his personality into the Mayoralty campaign.

And now let us see how this squares with the Rooseveltian philosophy with respect to interference by Washington in local elections. For the benefit of the younger voters it should be explained that Mr. Roosevelt was not always President of the Republic. Bless your little hearts, he served for a spell as Governor of New York and it was while running for that office that he uncorked his criticism of Federal officials (Republicans) trying to advise the electors of New York on local matters. "We in this State," said he, "in every city and on every farm know the high impropriety of interference by the Federal Government in the purely local affairs of any State and we are fully conscious of the effective manner in which the people of this great State (New York) will at the polls show their resentment against such conduct." IT SO happened that two of the sports at whom the Roosevelt censure was directed were residents of New York.

Still, they were Federal officials and Mr. Roosevelt thought it highly improper that they should butt into a local election. It is not contended here that Mr. Roosevelt subscribes to that philosophy today. He has shown that he is capable of going into a half-dozen States not merely to defeat Republicans, but to purge his own party of Senators who refused to go along on some of the more reckless policies of the New Deal.

The campaign has had its amusing side and if we were called on by the sheriff or some other high official to list the laugh-provokers we'd place at the top of the column the statement attributed to Mr. Roosevelt. The chances are he said it and meant it. But he didn't mean it in the sense the lugs now tossing about would have you believe. It's our notion the President would be just as happy if Willie were on his way to a great roundup of citizens to be the central figure at a hanging! THE election tomorrow will not be decided on the basis of Willie in Washington, Willie in Moscow, Willie in Paris or Willie in the bullrushes.

It will be decided on the basis of Willie in Philadelphia. If we had the time we'd make a poem about Willie in Philly, how he knocked the natives silly and the like of that. The voters of this town are justified in holding to strict accountability Willie and other blatherskites whose chief stock in trade is defamation of city. This is not a perfect town; nor are its people perfect. But Willie Bullitt took no interest in either the town or its people until Brother Joe Guffey told him to run for Mayor.

Joe makes Willie run. For a good many years Willie was content to roost in other places on the proceeds of a fortune made In this community. He inherited the wealth of a respectable family and that's about all. And we have one final word for Soapy Jack Kelly. Let him, if he will, right down to the opening of the polls continue his foul attacks' on the fair name of the conductor of this department.

We have our recompense. Take, for example, this statement plucked frpm a letter from a Bryn Mawr lady: "Even if you are an unmade bed, I love you just the same." Let Soapy Jack beat that if he can. Let him equal it.
