cry. In one part of his remarks he
said
Il do not know whether Chief Dew
ery's interview. printed this morning,
correctly represented what he said or
not. If it did correctly represent what
he said. then ! have to say that his
utterances were unfit to an extreme
degree and deserve censure and repro
bation. / am warned that this is a.
dangerous topic and that by speaking
as l do now, / shall lose some, and
perhaps many, Democratic votes.
However that may be, l reply that
such votes, if such votes there be.
however numerous they may be, will
have to be lost to me, if they can be
had only on the condition that l shall
by silence avoid i'll will.
Il wish it to be understood and plain
ly, that in my opinion no police COM
missioner. or deputy police commits
sioner or any officer of police should.
as such, take any side during the
stress of this or any political cam,
paign or fail to act with scrupulous
and impartial dignity and orderly and
proper speech as one bound to pre-
serve law and order. To act otherwise
is scandal. This mornings publica-
ton makes it fit for me with In,
creased and solid emphasis to renew
my declaration, in the face of the
whole people, that If l be chosen
Mayor 1t will be my first of all duties
to deal with the police sit
uation, that shall do SO.
and that I shall take care that
the police commissioner. and / may
add. his deputies as WELL shall be men
who shall at all times, whether in sea
son or out of season, whether by day or
by night, whether before election or
after election, practically enforce the
standard which the mayor himself
upon his sole conscience and in view Of
the undoubted power and responsible
ity sets up for police administration. :"
