C. U. FAVORS Mr.. WINS.
MAY INDORSE HIS NAME.
Mamy Members of Organization WM
Support Republican Candidate.


William NJ WINS. the Republican candidate
for Mayor. will have the support of the Citizens
Union in fact if not in name. and he may have
the declared support of the organization.
There is to be a meeting of the executive COM
mittee on Monday night and there is well oe-
fined idea in the minds of many of the members
Of the committee that it would be good thing
to make declaration in favor of man OF the
standing and calibre of Mr. WINS. This meeting
is primarily to consider the candidacy of District
Attorney Jerome the district tickets and the
work to be done for Mr. Jerome and the district
candidates. but it is not at all unlikely that the
committee will go on record with regard to Mr-
WINS Certainly there will he some strong words
said in his favor at the Monday night meeting
Since the failure Of fusion, work has been $40"
at the Citizens Union headquarters IN Union
Square, and the office force has been shy AS
one district candidate who called I'D py teie-
phone yesterday was told:
I'VE have plenty of time up here now. and II
YOU will let us know what you want. probably
we can put some of unemployed office ma
chinery at your service
But the nomination of Mr. WINS has made con-
siderable of a change in the attitude of the lead
ers. They have not got together since the NOM
iation was made, but they have been talking
with one another and there is definite idea
that the "Cits" ought to get behind WINS ana
boost him for all they worth
Mcclellan sentiment is very shy in the GU
zens Union. There are few who VIII vote ior
him because he is a nice young man. out they
are few and far between. George Haven Put
nam well expressed the general sentiment re-
garding him in the Citizens Union
yellow DOG" BEHIND MCCLELLAN
"Mr. Mcclellan is well appearing young man
with good intentions and personally honest ne
said But they can't hide their yellow dog
ticket behind his frock coat. The nomination OF
MCGOWAN was disgrace. 1t showed either tnaC
Mcclellan has influence with his organization
or that he has not the courage to use 1t. II he
is elected we will see the real meaning OF MS
nomination when he is put up for Governor. ana
the real Tammany lifts its head in his trail"
DR.. E. r. L. Gould ex-City Chamoerlaih'

that the Tammany smirch can never De los'-
Once a man becomes member OF IamrhanS

nectton lasts Mr.. Mcclellan presents nice
appearance but the smirch of Iamrhahy Is
there He has his eye on the Governor chaiI'
he wants the influence of Tammany. and you
NAV depend on it that he will do nothing 10
interfere with the will of the organization ne

..As for Mr. WINS" continued Mr.. Gould'
there is a man you may respect and admire
He was one of my predecessors as City Cha1n-
berlain He is an upright man. of high stand

would make an excellent Mayor
So it goes all through the leaders OF the Gu
zens Union. you know" said one OF the'n'
that we have put no candidate for Mayor III

sentiment is so small not to be worth con-

as a man who presents respectaoie' sei'le-
manly appearance as Mayor. but behlnd MN 'ile

OSBORNE NOT IN FAVOR
Tho nomination of James w. Osborne for DIS

orv good with the Citizens Union either. IL Is
in line with the rest of the Tammany nomina-
tions they say Most of the leaders contenteo
themselves with a lifting Of the eyebrows and a
sbr,,peine of the shoulders when Mr.. osbornes
name was mentioned
And they seemed equally unimpressed with
