rush on his school eleven. went TO the
Acorns' meeting yesterday to see how
his dad gains five yards or so Of voters at
every play
The boy got a little ahead OF his father
In going into the hall and was Immediately
swallowed up la the crush In IA few sec
onds Chinky was at !cas, twenty feet away
from Justice Jerome, with a solid wall
OF legs and hacits between them. z
Where's thu: boy2' asked Jerome, after
he finally reached the platform. Nobody
knew but the boy. lie was taking care
of himself and getting a good stif lesson
In how 10 90 through a mob. He had
burrowed part Of the way and made good
going IN and on among the legs. Then
he got n glimpse between two elbows OF
the white ceiling above and gave up burrow-
ing and took to climbing. He was nearer
the platform then than he realized. He
grabbed the elbows, got a good foothold ON
a knee and then with a spring landed on q
pair of shoulders. The owner of the shout
ders didn't like II, apparently, for he didn't
know who the boy was, but he didn't stop
cheering.
When tho youngsters face, which was
very red, finally became visible among
the waving canes and handkerchiefs.
Justice Jerome got a glimpse Of il and sx-
claimed:
why, there's Chinky.'
Then he asked the men Immediately
In front OF him II they wouldn't please
pass the boy along and Chinky made the
rest Of the trip TO the platform over heads
and shoulders.
After that little incident Justice Jerome
told the Acorns, there were 5000 OF them
there. that he was so sure Of the election
that he had already begun to worry about
the next four years.
He again asked them To give him the
power OF the District Attorneys Office 10

they led to high places or humble places,
and some one cried out: Follow one OF
them to Vantage"

Of the first Tenement House Commission
joined Justice Jerome's body guard"
Just from sheer admiration OF the man.
and went about with him ON tho East Sid
to three meetings. Mr.. Glider fought
his way with the rest OF tho crowd and
got into two of the three meetings. The
crowd in front of American Star Hall WAS
too much for him and he waited outside.
In the Fast Side tour there was a repe-
tition of all the demonstrations of a week
ago Yesterday. when the Jews. by the thous-
ands. observed the afternoon of their Sab
bath by going to hear Jerome and by fol-
lowing him through the streets,
He said nothing new at any OF these
meetings, but reviewed tho issues OF the
campaign and hammered harder than
ever at the evils of Iammany control.
In New Irving Hall Justice Jerome fol-
lowed his usual custom and asked II any
body had any questions.
One man said: Tell us about Platt.'
Justice Jerome replied.
An of YOU people in this part Of the city
are readers and know about public affairs.
You have read my Murray Hill Lyccum
speech on that question. ! stand by that,
and the incident il closed, positively closed.
But ! must say in justice to myself that that
speech and the Lyric Hall speech should be
read together"

East Broadway was under the auspices OF
the Women's Municipal League, and there
were a lot of the members of that organiza-
