What Hewitt, Roosevelt and George

what Hewitt, Roosevelt and George
Have to Say of Their Chances.
New YORK, Oct 25--The three candi-
dates for mayor of this city were asked Sat
urdsy by United Press reporter what they
had to say about the coming contest at the
polls Mr.. Hewitt said:
/ have no opinion to give about my cleo
tion II the people of New York want mo to
be their mayor they viii vote for me. II
thsy don't do so, and 1 am defeated, it win
be o great relief to me. will repeat what I
have said before, that is only because that
consider that 1t would be the ruin of the
city should a man with such ideas as George
be elected, that have accepted the nomina-
ion of the united Democracy.
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
/ am sure I shall be the next mayor
Of this city. Two weeks ago the
cry was all for George. Then came
Hewitt's nomination and every body was sure
he would be elected. Last OF all my boom
has come. am glad that 1t has come last be-
cause believe in the old saying that the last
shall be first. ] know that New York, as a
rule, is Democratic, but am sure that will
have no effect on this evidence. The
Henry 4 George supporters are all
taken from the Democrats and
the ranks of the Republicans are untouched
by the movement. Another thing that makes
me sure of being elected Is the way that
many Democrats who are opposed to Georges
Socialistic ideas have pledged themselves to
me- feel confident that I am to be the next
mayor.
Mr.. George said:
am as sure Of being the next
mayor as il + were already elected.
would have been elected without Irving
hall, but with it am invincible. The
strength of the country Is in the laboring
class, and they are with me and bound to
elect me-
