All Mu.sulmnn. secure Convert,

Europeans habitually forget that
every Mussulman is more or less a
missionary-that is, he intensely de-
sires to secure converts from nom
Mussulman people. Such converts not
only increase his own chance of
heaven, but they will swell his own
faction, his own army, his own means
OF conquering, governing and taxing
the remainder of mankind. All the
emotions which impel Christian to
proselyte are in Mussulman
strengthened by all the motives which
impel political leader and all the
motives which sway recruiting SER
geant, until proselytism has become
passion, which, wherever success
seems practicable, and especially sue
cess on large scale, develops in the
quietest Mussulman a fury of ardor
which induces him to break down
every obstacle, his own strongest
preiudices included, rather than stand
for an instant in neophyte's way
He welcomes him as a son, and what
ever his own lineage, whether the con-
vert be negro or Chinaman, or In
dian, or even European, he will with
out hesitation or scruple give him his
own child in marriage, and admit him
fully, frankly and finally into the
most exclusive society in the world

This is. so to speak. the first time I've really
embarked in politics in twenty-five years. There
has been more or less trouble in the district, and
I've always looked without interfering. The
Democratic leaders have been too willing to affiliate
with the Republicans. but now that you've elected
Democratic principles. We may affiliate with the
Republicans when they're in trouble, man
TO another, but IN politcs-no!
There's been some dissension and bad blood In
weld the broken chain together so that it will
never come apart again I don't care for the
people. The Tammany organization has virtual
control OF four million people, and any leader
ought TO think twice before he votes away the
rights OF his people The last leader of this district

the district to give away things ! wouldn't toler-

OF the district But his followers aren't responsible
for what he did, and we want them all to come
in and build up strong organization.
Now, there's nothing in sight for a year but
come round, and then whatever there is to be given
away will be given to people in this district and
in this organization. TIL then we've got to do a
work of love
So all I've got to say TO you fellows is: Be good
Democrats, and invite all other good Democrats to
