why bryan VIM win.

Syracuse Telegram. cre. 4i
What chance has Bryan of be-
ing eleoted2 Naturally the editor
of a Democratic newspaper will
say that he has great chance,
whether he really thinks 30 or not.
That is his business.
Upon this occasion we will men,
ton some GLASSES of people whom
we believe will vote for Bryan this
year, If you doubt it ask some of
them.
Ask the drummer who he will
vote for. A vast number of them
have lost their positions because of
combinations which permit one of
these travelling men doing the
work of several.
Mckinley prosperity has hurt
them.
He will tell you that he voted
for Mckinley four years ago. He
is going to vote for Bryan this
year.
He can tell you why, too. He
talks. The same brain and tongue
that make him a good drummer
make him a good Bryan worker.
The drummer is not only going
to vote for Bryan. That is not
his speed. He is going to work
for him. He is scattered all
through this big country, and he
will como pretty near equalizing
the Mckinley campaign orators in
number. ~
The drummer is going to be
quite factor in the campaign
this fall.
Ask the man who keeps the
Cigar store who he is going to vote
for. He voted for Mckinley last
time. He is going to vote for
Bryan. He has TO buy his goods
from the tobacco trust. He can't
mako any money. The trust COB
bles the profits of the business.
The Cigar stand is great place
for political discussion. Men con-
gregate there and talk about men,
conditions and issues The keeper
of the store is looked up to as
man pretty we'll posted. He has
much influence in political dis.
cussions. His views of Bryan and
the trusts are certain to set his
friends thinking.
Ask the grocer who he is going
to vote for. Or the man who keeps
the little hardware store. Ask any
of the ore-keepers who are pinch.
ed by the trusts
You will find that very few of
them are going to vote against Mr..
Bryan.
The small dealer who was driven
out of business by the gobbling
trusts, or who is so squeezed by
the rhpaoious monstrosities that he
makes but soant living will tell
you that he is going to vote against
Mr.. Mckinley.
Ask any of the men who have
been thrown out of employment
by the trusts who they are going
to vote for. They are going to
vote for Bryan. They will tell
you that they are very sorry that
they voted for Mckinley four
years ago.
The extraordinary growth and
boldness of the trusts during the
past four years will make those in
jured and affected vote for relief.
These gigantic combinations have
gulped up the small dealer; thrown
vast numbers of people out of en-
ployment, and the majority of
them are bleeding the people,
When man is in danger he
seeks safety; and when he is suffer
ing he wants relief.
Mr.. Mckinley has had chance
to save and relieve the people from
and criminal trusts, but
he has failed to do SO.
His administration has been
trust incubator. 1t has been most
prolific of greed and criminal com
1t has hatohed out all
kinds of oapitalistio schemes to
bleed the people.

Roosevelt-When, through jeff

Mississippi was acquired; when
largely through the instrumental
ity of jackson Florida was added
to the Union, the new provinces,
with their Indian populations, were
governed precisely and exactly on
the theory under which the Phil
ippines are now governed.
Altgeld-When we acquired
Louisiana and when we acquired
Florida, not only did the treaties
provide that the new territory
should be an integral part of our
republic and that the inhabitants
of the new territory should be oit-
liens of our republic, to which they
did not object, but the territory in
each case was at once made part
of the republic and the inhabitants
at once became citizens of the re.
public. And the same is true in
the case of Texas, in the oase of
New Mexico and in the case of CAL
ifornia. But in negotiating the
treaty with Spain the administra-

treaty the provision that the new
territory should become an integral
part of our republic, and that the
inhabitants of the territory become

SULLIVAN WANTS DIVES CLOSED

The effect Of Richard Cookers talk to the lead
ers was manifest in several districts After Mr.
Croker had raked Senator Sullivan over the
Goals Yesterday morning Sullivan hurried off
down to his district. Sullivan is the man who
is credited with having a wider swing with tho
police than any other Tammany leader He
sent for Captains Herlihy and Diamond. who
have charge Of the precincts in his district H
net them at the Occidental Hotel. in Broome-
St. and they talked FOR an hour
Senator Sullivan said to a reporter
Il think those captains have done blamed ,.ar
over here since they have been in these dis
tricts From political standpoint think it
would be a good thing for Tammany Hall IL all
those places were shut up for this reason;
Every place that the social evil exists in II
you would only take notice you will find is a Re-
publican district. If you close 'em up it's for
our good. l want it. They amt any good to
US, those people. They never vote our way.
And. say, never yet got penny from them
and don't think Croker ever got a cent from
them, either But know didn't.
The clergy, priests and ministers and the
public are a lot OF hypocrites. The social evil Is

THINKS CROKER IN EARNEST
DIR. BLAUSTEIN BELIEVES HE WAS IN
FLUENCED BY MR. STRAUS.

DR.. David Blaustein, the superintendent OF the
Educational Alliance OF New-York, at East
Broadway and Jefferson-st.. said yesterday that
he had been misquoted in reports Of his testi-
mOny before the Industrial Commission in
Washington Thursday. Il did not say that

spiracy to levy tribute upon persons engaged
in immoral practices" DR. Blaustcin said to q
Tribune reporter. for I DO not know that is
true. l asked why complaints were not
made to the Chief of Police. and replied that
complaints had been made the Chief but
they had not resulted In anything. Perhaps
Devery does not know that the police in some
parts OF the city are protecting and promoting
vice. have not personally made complaints to
the police. know some respectable people who
have made complaints, and their complaints
have led to good results. There is plenty OF
moral evidence that the police In some of the
East Side districts encouraging immortality
and protecting people engaged In immoral prac-
tees
Just as an example of what I mean. the other
evening l passed a house which has a had name
and saw a policeman in uniform talking in
an apparently friendly way with one Of the
women in gaudy dress. standing in front Of the
house. That is moral proof that the police are
protecting the house and inmates. but If you
went police officials with such proof they
would laugh at you
What do you think of the possible effect Of
Tammany cooperation in the crusade against
vice on the East Sde?" asked.
Il am inclined to believe that Mr. Croker was
in earnest In trying to stir up Tammany oppo-
s!tion to the protection Of vice by the police He
appealed to by Mr.. Straus. not as a politi-
clan, but a and friend l know Mr.
Straus feels deeply hurt by the conditions that
allowed to prevail in this district He went
to Mr., Croker and talked to him strongly man
to man. and believe Mr.. Croker felt that some
thing must be done to change the conditions

NOT TO .SCANNELL'S LIKING
ONLY THREE MEMBERS OF Mr.. GRO
KER's COMMITTEE MEET.

The committee appointed by the Tammany or
ganizatior to suppress vice on the East Side met
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon At that hour
only three members of the committee were
present at Tammany Hall-JOhn w. Keller,
Michael T. Murphy and Lewis Nixon. John j.
Scannell was not present, as he had declined to
serve George c. Ciausen was also absent, owing
to business in Baltimore. but he represented

meetings Of the committee except those of the
executive sessions be opened to the public and
that the press be invited to send its representa-
tives to report the proceedings
Mr.. Keller appeared to be the central figure
in the committee. He did most of the talking,
and went out of the committee from time
to time and gave report of the proceedings
The others had little TO say.
Later Commissioner Scannen arrived. and
there a long conference but no report was
made to the nature of the conference until
the committee adjourned at O'Clock when Mr.
Scannell announced that he declined 10 on
the committee. When asked his reasons he said:
My duties are so pressing and my time so
limited that l cannot serve. Men wanted
who can give a good deal of time to this thing
l cannot. Mind you. do not resign. l simply
decline to serve the committee for the rea-
sons stated"
The session OF the committee was brief. 1t
lasted little less than an hour After the
st ssion Commissioner Keller said:
There are certain evidences of vice exhibited
so fiagrantly that shall do all in our power
to have 1t suppressed. We have no authority in
law, but if can find out that these things
exist ~e our influence 10 have them
suppressed. The active force Is the Police De-
partment and the District Attorney. All we can
do is I get the evidence. present it and de-
mand that the law be enforced"
Michael c. Murphy. president OF the Board
of Health said:
We did nothing but look in each others
faces. What else could do? We had moth
ing before us. We Will do something when
have something TO act upon"
Mr.. Keller refused to discuss the deClination
Of Commissioner ScanneH to serve the COM
mittee The committee, he said. would fill the
vacancy at the next meeting. II

named.
