ord OF Performance as Well as Record
or Promise, Says the Comptroller
The Brooklyn Democratic Club had its
grand rally last night at the Clermont
Avenue Rink in the interests Of Mayor
Mcclellan and the city ticket. Daniel
Moynahan, president of the club, presided
The first speaker was former president
of the club, A. H. Eastmond. He said:
1.-TWO years ago, from this very platform
opposed the candidate am now advocat-
ing. We of independent tendencies felt
it our duty at that time to support Seth
Low. After twenty-five months OF an ad-
ministration such as Mayor Mcclellan has
given U.S. | must acknowledge that the
illustrious father is not only an honor to the
son, but the son is an honor to the father,
He has given us an able administration and
comes back to us with his record and we
should reflect him next Tuesday. The
fears that | entertained two years ago l
am glad to say have not been realized"
Mr.. Grout said that Mayor Mcclellan
had not only made a record Of promises
but one Of performances. He then said
that there were two other candidates
in the campaign one who went around
scolding and the other who promised every
Il ing tAat was on the surface Of the
earth and in the bowels Of the earth. He
then spoke Of the things Mayor Mcclellan
had done durin z the last twenty-five months
and said he represented substantial achieve
ments.
Il don't regard Mr.. WINS as dangerous
quantity in the campaign" said MIR, Grout,
but he is interesting"
Mr.. Grout said he supposed that MI.
Hearst. was OF the opinion that in case OF
his election he could run the Mayors ONCE
the same as he runs his newspapers. He
believed that the projected subways for
Brooklyn could not be constructed if Mr..
Hearst was elected, while they were abso-
lutely assured il Mayor Mcclellan was
reelected He termed Mr.. Hearst the
apostle of false promises.
Edward NJ. Shepard, who said he had cen
in dentist chair all afternoon and VAS
weak, then made a similar address to the
one delivered in the Kings County Demo-
cratic Club on Saturday night in which he
praised Herman A. Metz, the Democratic
nominee for Comptroller. He ridiculed
he was not the indeT endent man he said he
was. He said he yielded at the very first.
He wanted jerome on the ticket, but when
the Republicans objected Mr.. Ivins at once
lost his Independence by yielding to the
Re- ubican leaders. :.
There are two other Democratic cendi-
dates besides Mr.. Mcclellan" said Mr.;
Shepard There is WINS. who has boxed
the political compass He may be said
to be a competing Democratic nominee,
but his candidacy is absurd and amusing.
He Just returned from Russia after long
absence and makes all kinds Of promises
and now really out-Hearsts Hearst
Mr.. Shepard then referred to the promises
made by Mr. Hearst and said he couldn't
carry them out under any circumstances,
and that he was not true TO the public,
whom he was trying to fool, but he ex
cused him on the ground that he made
them during the passion Of whirlwind
campaign.
