is that they do not unde rst and the temper
Of the people as he does, and therefore do
not Know to what extent they have been
reused by existing conditions.
Il will get 10000 votes, said Devery
yesterday, plusing in the midst of his work.
i expect q laugh at this, but am dead

Murphy says won't get any votes outside
Of ta N ss s he is NM making the STATEN s
Island. in Brooklyn, in Queens and The
Bronx has been fine, and that's why say
there's nothing to II but my election.
THE sooner the Tammany shines under
stand that the better of they'll be-. Differ
ent things about me and my platform has
hit my friends in the different boroughs.
Now, for instance, on Staten Island l was
hailed more as the friend of the poor man
than anything elss. When, l see man
about to lose their home l pay the rent.
when poor man or woman dies in my
district help bury him, and while don't
do these things to advertise Devery, still
they have made me friends in lot Of
places.
Now over on Staten Island I spoke
to thousands from the automobile and
when I got through hundreds came up
to ne and says: Bill. the pump fer ours
from now on, l suppose over twenty
was friend Of the poor man. Why two
or three of them gave me their names and
told me the next time I went out to feed
the poor to call on them for a contribution.
There. was one milkman, a big dealer over
said to me: Devery, you cap have three
big cans OF milk week from me. for the
unfortunates up there In the city II you
want them. I've got that feller's name
now and the next time find milk famine
around I'm going to send for that milk.
And say. he'll make good. too.
"Atoget her | spoke, to 10 600 people over
there on Staten Island, business men, poor
men and rich men, and believe III get the
votes Of 90 per cent. Of those people, to say
who didn't hear me, but have read my plat
form and have seen the truths in it.
Then, there's Brooklyn. Now. there's
a borough that's all ripped up jnst now. but
the Devery vdte Ia standing ~ lid there and
will go in TO be counted under the pump
meetings. II was down there in the square
at the corner of Hamilton and Carroll
streets. Seven Thousand people turned out,
and say, thore was pothin' to It,
@They were enthusiastic and when talked
TO them they gave me their attention so I
know they we're there to listen to what !
had to say. And after we left that m Getting
there was crowd following LIB everywhere,
shouting their cheers and begging us to
stop right there and hold another meeting.
SQUARE they We're so bound to make me
talk again that thought they'd pull the
machine over.
'In Queens it was the same way We
Long Island City, Astoria and I spoke
everywhere. had lot of other good ora
tors along and we had fire greeting. |
My two Zig meetings in The BrorI re
Just the same. one at i77th street and Third
avenue and the other at 14sth street and
Willis iave nue.. -.
"Nof, Just consider that everywhere We
have Geen we have not only left the effect |
OF ourSpeScnes behind, but also tons of our |
literature, which the people are reading.
Why. there's nothin' to it. I'll poll vote
that Yill take these Tammany grafters
off th&ir feet. It's Low or Devery now,
with the changes on Devery very strol G
and getting stronger every dav.
Y expect to carry John ". johnson, my |
candidate for Borough President into |
office Tith me. It's to the advantage Of
every Iaboring man to support johnson a s |
well as me. job nson is heart and soul |
with rae on the labor question. If we win |
we wiz Immediately put into effect my plan
lor the ending of all labor strikes. The |
Borough President has the appointing OF
the Commissioner OF Highways and the
Commissioner Of Buildings and through |
these officers We have the whole labor sit
uation. in our hands. There are the build |
ers and contractors on one side and the |
laboring runn. on the other. When they |
cannoc come to on understanding on any |
dispute then the Borough President will ar |
bitratS and in that way, with fairness TO |
all and satisfaction to all. the whole labor |
situation will be the easiest thing in the |
world 10 ADJUST
