practically impossible to estimate how

Last night George spoke In the

and enthusiastic crowds everywhere.
In one Of his last speeches Mr.. George
said: Il have laborsd for years 10

believe that needed reforms are
summed up in the philosophy: The
right ~ every man 10 eat, to drink. To

the same speech he repeated threats
against Croker In a ringing voice that
greatly affected his hearers, saying:
Let him 20 IL the pen. He shall go

Mrs. George accompanied her hus-
band ON most of his speech making
trips and was with him last night.
Newspaper men who have been with
George during the campaign have felt
that The strain was surely and rapidly
breaking him down. At times he has
been incoherent. His whole tempera

their trend was ever faithful to the

been all his life.
