brought MIR Jcrones uurrc teiore the
meeting
We cannot elect a Republican ticket,
he said 'irlcs- We can attract the indie
pendent voter. Some Il the laws which
were passed ~ the last session OF the Legs
latura have aIicnated many Republicans
from their party and we wust have the
independent votes IL wo are 10 have any
chance TO wit.
Il rise to put into nomination a man
who has shown his ability to get the indie
pendent votes and now nominate william
Travers Jerome for District Attorney"
The delegates, on the impulse Of the mo-
ment forgot themselves and for fully two
minutes cheered with the greatest en-
th,lsiasm for Mr.. Jerome, But despite the
fact that they seemed almost to n unit to
want jerome to go on the Republican ticket
only nine of the delegates voted for him,
while Flammer got 237 votes,
At the close Of the convention William
NJ. WINS, who had been waiting in an out
side room for the finish of the business OF
the night, was escorted into the hall He
was well received, but there was nothing
vociferous in the greeting given to him
and it lasted but few seconds. He was
introduced by Senator Elsberg with the
stock salutation of "Our next Mayor"
and without further ado Mr., Wins began
to wade into a long speech defining what
he would do if he should be elected Mayor.
Mr.. Ivins's speaking qualities are not
OF the attractive order and despite the
fact that it was the first speech Of the cam
paign a large number of his listeners left
the hall before Mr.. Ivins got half way
through. Mr. Halpin was one of the num-
Der. At the outset of his address Mr.. WINS
said
Il find myself in an unexpected position.
When l took the steamer from Liverpool
to come home the last thing on earth |
thought Of was that | would become in
volved in this great political struggle for
the maintenance of the integrity and
decency of our municipal government and
for the preservation of our municipal wealth
and properties against what | consider to
be an organized system of depreciation.
when the committee of the city conven-
tion asked me to accept the nomination.
4 IL L.
and Unexpectedly, answered yes in view
Of the issues and circumstances which
exist to-day and in view of the platform
which was shown me as expressing the
views of the Republican party of this city,
when | accepted that nomi nation !
said that / would acknowledge it with
formal letter formulating my own plat
form and stating the attitude | was going
to assume in this campaign. but in lieu of
= that letter l will now explain to you some
Of the purposes have laid down for myself
First OF all want to say have never
known. and God keeping me ! will never
know. any boss. | have always been my
own boss, and. God keeping me, | will
continue to be my own boss until die.
If should be elected there is no man
on earth whose dictation | will obey, al
though there Is no man whose judgments
and reasons | will not listen to as a public
servant. But having listened, | shall do
as I please and those who don't like it can
take is out and not like it, On the other
hand, shall not make any attempt to be
any one else's boss. ] shall simply follow
my own convictions, based upon my own
convictions and experience of public affairs,
and the consequences must be what they
may
Now for the issues. First of all and
primarily is the issue of Tammany Hall
Tammany Hall is organized inefficiency,
coupled to systematic greed. You will
be told in this campaign that Mayor
Mcclellan is a man of manners and ac-
complishments and say that his manners
and mplishments ought to have kept
him out of such company Why is he
wanted for Office? Simply because he can
gild the brick"
Mr.. Wins then went on to say that there
was mot one single thing worthy Of credit"
which could be claimed for thepresent city
administration, Although he has been out
OF the country for over year and has only
just returned, he proceeded to declare that
