THE GAMBLERS CONTRIBUTIONS.
THEY HELP TO SWELL TAMMANY's oAMPAIG!


FUYD-INTIMIDATIoN AND CORRUPTION.
Information of the most definite nature concerning
the fraud intimidation and corruption now being
nractlsed by Tamnany Hall has to light. These
methods have been used for years. They have gen
eraHy been successful, and Tammany has won power'
money and an unenviable reputation by the use OF
them. The methods are used In the oIate
canvass 1t is Croker wanted 10 depart from MS
usual custom and send out 100 speakers from Tam
many Hall to show the people of the country that
they did not wear horns" This project did not
meet with the approval Of the chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Committee. Mr.. Murphy and Mr. Grmh
either have faith in Tammany methods to carry the
state or they think the deeper they sink the orators
Of Tammany Hall into obecurty the better 1t VIII
be for their ticket This same opinion they seem
10 hold concerning Mr.. Flower.
However Tammany Hall is now desperate. The
chief agency employed by IL is m connection with the
city government. 5hopkeepers and men engaged In
small business enterprises who arc known TO be IN
imcal to the rule Of Tammany Hall are made aware
by irritating and despicable means that their POSI-
ton is known. For instance, small stands on the
sidewalks are ordered to be moved in, oTerhansing
signs are ordered to be taken down. barrels and boxes
recently delivered are ordered TO be taken on
the sidewalk at once. Proper administrator
Of the law is expected but the most unfair dscrmna-
ton Ia made In favor OF members Of Tsmmany Hall,
who are permitted to let their signs overhans, and
| The nquor sellers are blsckmalled and compelled
10 Weld TO the extortoDRe demands OF these agents
Of Tammsny Hall. There Is only one alternative, ana
that is not always observed TO escape this endless
| persecution, and that Is, "joln Tammany Hail.
| Il IS learned that even when this alternative Is
adopted the proelytes with the older members OF the
organization, are compelled to pay large assessments
