Mr.. Strong placed in ths hands Of Q

dore Roosevelt, whose earlier eonfreesa
were Colonel Fred D. Grant. Major
Avery D. Andrews and Mr.. Parker.
The mayor was often accused of vast
ing money on improvements. His In
variable reply was that wherever he
spent dollar he had dollars worth
to show for It," Mr.. Strong was avow-
edly independent in his views on city
politics. In the municipal campaign
Of 1897, which resulted in the return
q. Tammany to power, he took the
stump for Seth Low, a against Geo.
sral Benjamin F. Tracy, the regular
Republican candidate. After this cleo
ton he virtually retired from active
politics on account Of falling health.
He spoke for Colonel Roosevelt, how
Svse, in 1898, and had since been In
tsrestsd and influential in the councils
oe the Independent wing Of the Rspub-
l3osu party of Kings county.
