William NJ. Wins, before an audience
of more than 1000 at ii o'clock last night
in Colonial Hail. at 10lst street and Column
bus avenue, raised his voice to its highest
pitch and exclaimed
Il am sure that | shall have the vote
OF every organization Republican in this
town as | am Of my life. am as sure or
receiving most Of the independent vote
as am Of my life."
Abraham Gruber, the Republican leader
Of the Twenty-frst district, in which the
meeting was held, sat on the platform and
nodded his approval. Then Mr.. Wins
said he would not condesoend TO take notice
of recent unhappy incidents in the district,
but he wanted to say that one of the sur
prises of the election would he the vindica-
ton of leadership that would be shown in
the district.
Mr.. Wins spoke at five meetings, the last
two Of which were very large, All were
enthusiastic and all cheered him tremend-
olisly when he asserted, as he did at all OF
them, that the election was now between
him and Mr.. Hearst and that Hearst was
beaten, He devoted a large amount OF at
tention to the Tammany ticket. He as
serted that Mr. MCGOWAN, Mayor McClellan's
running mate, was unfit for office and that
his best known qualifications for public
preferment we're that he had once been a
first rate mixer of cocktails over Stew
arts bar"
He said that MCGOWAN and the rest OF
the ticket were nominated so that the Board
of Estimate might become the personal
property OF Murphy. He asserted that II
the Tammany ticket was elected McClel Han
could be dispensed with" by Murphy,
with whom he had already had serious differ
ences regarding the campaign manage
ment.
At all Of his meetings Mr.. Wins insisted
that Mcclellan was third in the race. He
said that he had had a careful test made in
several downtown streets yesterday and
he declared that for every Republican vote
lose III gain two Democratic ones"
The first meeting WAS at Beethoven
Hall, in Fifth street near the Bowery. 1t was
an Italian meeting. The hall was just filed,
but extremely noisy. Banners and flags
were tossed in the air for several minutes.
Mr.. WINS said:
when am Mayor I'll pursue the grafters.
Mr.. jerome Iapplause may ask where did
he or they get 1t. I'll show where they got
it. I'll make the political atmosphere so
chilly that the grafters can't exist in it."
Il hope you'll have the chance, shouted
an auditor.
Don't say you hope III have the chance, y
said Mr. Wins. I'm elected already
Then the man shouted something more
and there was great oOmmotion and cries
of PUT him out" Mr. WINS stiled the
ypI M hn u1t a hnr hnnr in
He screamed out:
Pm not good Christian, but I pray
you have chance
Il thank you for your prayer" said Mr..
WINS.
Then Mr.. WINS pro omised to do for New
York what Roosevelt had done for the
nation, that is to make it known as u / lace
OF good government throughout the world.
MIR. WINS then hurried over to the gas
house district, at Congress Hall, In Avenue
C, between Ninth and Tenth streets. The
long, narrow hall was jammed. Mr.. WINS
told the audience that when he first knew
that district It was called "Maclterelville. 4"
He said it was such districts. where the
poor were most thickly congregated, that
suffered most from Tammany misrule
Misrule there meant heavy cost of human
life. He exclaimed
MY God can the people be blind here to
what Tammany Hall means?" He said
that the money wrung from the poor peo-
pie in their hard existence went to furnish
| nalatial homes and wine cellars and bull
| dogs for favored leaders. Then he took
| his fall out Of McGowan as a mixer of
cockt ails and exclaimed:
I'm put an end to Mr.. Murphy's pro-
fession just as the Police Commissioner
put an end to Mrs Warrens Profession,
| III not spend my time asking the question
and when l do find out III make them drop
| it,"
Mr. WINS hurried to meeting Of the
Colored Republican Club of New York in
street. Here he had Booker T. Washington
for an auditor, He asserted that there had
been no progress under the Mcclellan ad-
| ministraion except in filling the purse Of
graft. He declared that the history Of
| Tammany Hall showed that when 1t was not
an organization of graft it was one of
| treason.
He said that Mcclellan was hopelessly
behind in the race, and Continued
If you want to save the city from Hearst
vote for me Hearst isn't going to be
elected. | am going to win. Don't be
ton, and above all. if you are afraid, don't
run from the devil into the deep sea,
| There's a clean beach for you to walk on
and along that beach | shall march into
the City Hall"
| At the New Star Casino, 1l5 East lo7th
i
and it vas jumping on its less most OF the
| time. When he promised to get rid of
Murphy small bov shouted -Goud boy"
This raised tremendous l,u h and AR.
| WINS said:
u don't believe there is anything o earth
as great as a New York boy"
hen part Of the scenery fell down. Mr..
| Wins said that it. was an omen, because
Mcclellan was the scenery Of lammany
! Hall, which was just now falling. He
said the Mayor was "a splendid facade
| for Tammany
Then he hurried to Colonial Hall, where
more than 1900 auditors greeted him with
| great noise, much TO Abe Gruber's delight.
A band of Columbia University men
| whooped it up with college yells and shouts,
and MIR. Wins said he was glad to hear
"from alma mater" once more. He as
serted with vehemence that he would get
a vote that would lie between the 2O5 900
votes that Odell got in 1902 and the 26s coo
votes that Higgins got in 1904. He also
said that he would get between $4,000 and
1900 independent Democratic votes.
