New-York tribune., 1901-10-30

Then follows a six line extract from Mr.. CO..
ler's rink speech, which in turn is followed bv
paragraphs concerning salary Increases. bond
issues. red lights. rapid transit Devery and The
Brooklyn Bridge on all of which topics the Con-
troller is made to say that the Republicans were
lying and falsifying the record.
The tenor Of the advertisements is that the
Controller has caught the Republicans per-
petrating a string of outrageous falsehoods, and
has called them TO account in his speech in the
rink
Controller Coler. as a matter OF fact is cor
rectly quoted in only short paragraphs.
All the rest of the stuff purporting to come from
him is made out of whole cloth, never having
been uttered by him.
The Insult 70 the Controller is felt all the more
keenly by him by reason of the fact that Rich
ard Croker is not allowing the Tammany cam
paign committee TO invite the Controller 10
speak at any of the large meetings in Man
haitian. Those in charge of a meeting to be
held in Cooper Union for the purpose of rally
ing the labor vote obtained the Controllers
promise to speak at Iheir meeting. but this is
the only time that the Controller has been billed
in Manhattan in this campaign. In spite of this
affront from Croker the Tammany literary bu-
reau made use of Mr.. Coler's name in an en-
tirely unwarranted and fraudulent manner
When Controller Coler was seen yesterday he
was astonished to learn that anything had
lea ked out about his messag Sc TO the Tammany
campaign managers. He admitted that he had
been misquoted in the advertisement. The most
offensive use of Mr.. Coler's name in connection
with the article was contained in the following.
which purported TO be the words of the Con-
trOller:
THE RAPID TRANSIT LEA vague and mys-
terfous lie accusing this administration OF holding
rapid transit. has been rather carefully used in
this campaign Of mendaCity. No in New
York need 70 be told. what every eve can see that
this administration has fuFthered the work of sub
months ahead Q time. The subway contractors
and commissioners will add to this the assurance
that but for the active and tntehgent cooperation
of all of the city departments the WOrk Would
now be a year more behind the estimates. IL
is also fully unders TODD that Mr. Edward NJ Shep-
ard. the Democratic candidate Tor Mayor. mas nad
a great share in the credit for the progress made.
The record of Van Wyek's and Whalen's con-
nection with the rapid transit tunnel, has
been made clear in The Tribune already. shows
that they delayed the beginning of the work
on the tunnel for nearly two years by entirely
unwarranted quibbling-
When a Tribune reporter called at Tammany
Hall yesterday he was turned over to William
Clark VINO is in charge of the advertising.
I'm surprised" said Mr.. Clark that there
should be any doubt in the mind of any
about what the advertisement means to convey
or what IL really is. There parts of it at
tributed TO Controller COler. and then. again,
there are other parts of it which go for what
they are worth. without being quotations from
his speech"
THE entire article looks if il quoted the
Controllers words" suggested the reporter.
1T was not the intention of the campaign
committee TO have it appear that way" said
Mr.. Clark.
