He Says Republicans Begged
Him 'on Their Knees’ to Back
Willkie’s Candidacy
s ? *
Mayor La Guardia replied to
Republican attacks on his recent
radio speech supporting the third
term nomination of President
Roosevelt by charging angrily
that “within fifteen minutes be
fore I made my speech, Republic
ans begged me on their knees to
support Willkie.”
He held that both Samuel F.
Pryor Jr., vice chairman of the
Republican National Committee
and Eastern campaign manager
for Wendell L. Willkie, and Rep
resentative Joseph W. Martin Jr.,
Republican National Chairman,
were well aware of last-minute
Republican attempts to get him
to support their Presidential can
didate.
The Mayor’s declaration, later
termed a “lie” by Mr. Pryor, was
made during a brief impromptu
interview at La Guardia Field
shortly before the Mayor left by
plane for Buffalo to address the
State convention of the Amalgam
ated Clothing Workers of Amer
ica.
Angered by “Zip” Remark
Met by reporters at the airport
the Mayor was asked for com
ment on the Republican criticism
of his speech, particularly the
characterization of him as a pol
itical "Zip—what is it?” by Mr.
Proyer, who had announced that
would personally urge the Repub
lican party to withhold any en
dorsement of the Mayor in the
future.
The Mayor flushed angrily at
the mention of the “Zip” state
ment, told reporters that he had
not been apprised of it before,
•asked “Who is Pryor?” and when
informed, snapped: out
“That’s the kind of speech one
would expect from a utilities
pimp.”
Later, as he was boarding the
plane, the Mayor withdrew this
epithet, explaining that he want
ed to “use it later."
“If they want to get tough
with me, I'll show them up,” he
said. “Within fifteen minutes be
fore I made my speech, Repub
licans begged me on their knees
to support Willkie. Pryor knows
that and so does Joe Martin.”
Still visibly angry, the Mayor
was then asked for comment on
the charge by Kenneth F. Simp
son, Republican leader of New
York County, that his speech
was “a demogogic diatribe."
He Sees No Diatribe
“Poor Ken,” the Mayor ex
claimed sarcastically. “He means
well. Now let any one point out
in the speech what was demogog
ic and what was a diatribe.
"The truth hurts, but I will
lash them with it. What I know
about Willkie, his utility back
ground and his shrewdness, Simp
son and others in present auth
ority told me. I have it on good
authority.”

The regular meeting of the
Board of Directors of the North

ing a regular Hot Springs busi

President of the Chamber of
Commerce brought up to the
Chamber wrappings of a number
of air mail packages and envel
opes containing invoices etc. ac
cepted at the Seattle Post Office,
one wrapping having evidence
of having attached thereto post
age to the amount of $19.86 and
other packages in proportion.

The Chamber a couple of meet
ings ago passed resolutions dir
ected to the Post Office Depart- j
ment, the Governor and our Del

poor service'and asked that some
thing be done to relieve the sit

ision. The Secretary was instruct
ed to photograph this evidence
and to furnish the Delegate with
the originals and pictures of
same to be sent to the Governor,,
the Post Office officials, and to
reserve some for the Legislators
and to periodicals in order to
give a wide publciity to it in the
endeavor to correct the present
abuses in our mail service^
The Mayor of Nome was ap
