He Criticises other Greater New York

Union candidate for mayor, tonight opened
his campaign at a large and enthusiastic
mass meeting held in Cooper Union. The

seemingly in favor of the Citizens Union
movement After several addresses Mr..
Low was introduced and it was some min
utes before he could make himself heard
so tremendous was the cheering. Mr.. Low
said in part: There are tour tickets in

by General Tracy and the ticket headed
by Henry George-openly proclaim the doc
trine that in the solution of this tremen-
dous municipal problem that confronts the
city of New York, national issues, and not
local issues. ought to dominate the minds
of the voters. General Tracy is against
Organism, and Henry George is for IT..
Both of these gentlemen propose certain
things for the city. Nevertheless, they say,
both of them, that the city's interests are
not the paramount issue, and that the
voter ought to cast his ballot primarily
with reference to national issues.
No man can serve two masters, and il
the people of the city elect mayor be-
cause of the views he entertains on the
free coinage of silver and all the rest, they
must not be surprised If the mayor they
elect subordinates the interests of the city
to the exigencies of the party to which he
belongs
"Curiously enough in this campaign Tam

itself strictly to local issues as the Citizens
