New York, Nov. s.-Today will Wit
ness the closing scenes In one OF the
most remarkable political campaigns
s In New York City's history. The vari-
ETY. OF sudden and startling moves on
the municipal checkerboard have over
Turned all precedent. upset all calcu-
lations, and have, rendered useless all
systems for for,scasting the probable
outcome. The two old party organiza-
tions have been invaded by a new and
great force, which, under the name Of
the Municipal Ownership League and
with William r. Hearst as Its candi-
date for mayor. has conducted CAM
paign 30 vigorous and so well managed
that the city has been astonished at
Its strength.
At first 1t was believed this move
ment was one born Of mornentary ex-
citement and popular clan1or, due to
insurance revelations and other caus-
es OF, public unrest: that when Tam
many hall swung Its great organization
I into line the Hearst movement would
decline ana collapse before election
day. This belief has been Sdisappoint-
cd. Instead OF declining In force the
Hearst canrass wound up last night
4 IN q spectacular meeting In Madison
Square garden, with 4 the garden
crowded with every man It could hold
I and with many thousands outside un-
able to gain admission. The gathering
was 10 great that for several hours
the struggling mass Of people were be-
yond control and It was impossible
for the police tc, keep the streets open.
When Hearst rose to speak Ne was
greeted with an outburat OF eheerings
that lasted for nearly twenty minutes,
Another incident to the Municipal
Ownership League canvass was the
calling out Of bed OF Hearst at o.
clock Sunday morning to speak ct He
brew hall.
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, demo-
cratic nominee for re-election has
based his appeals for votes on his rec
ord as mayor and sfulfilment Of the
promises he made two years ago. He
closed the active work Of his CAM
paiEn at a meeting in the Htppodrome
last evening, that building being unable
to accommodate by many thousands
the throngs thst gathered to hear him
speak. The mayor was enthusiastic
aliv greeted By his audience and the
latter when Corporation Counsel De-
iany asked if Mcclellan has not given
!. us d good administration 2" there was
an answering shout Of Yes as the
crowd rose and waved thousands OF
American flags,
4 william NJ. WINS, republican nominee
tor mayor, began his campaign with
the general feeling in the city that he
had no chance to win, but to this he
refused to subscribe himself and he
has gone ahead In a vigorous way
making many speeches and telling his
followers that II the republican vote
could he held In lire he would be elect
"a. owing to the division of the demo-
cratic vote between Hearst and Nc
f.,ellan. WINS was counsel to the Fas-
sett committee which investigated
New York City politics more tham ten
Years ago anet has long record as
a worleer for better conhM tions In poli-
teal life.
Tho District Attorneyship.
Hardly second to the interest in the
mayoralty has been the picturesque
canvass Of William T. Jerome for re-
election as district attorney for New
York county. At the very beginning
Jerome announced his independence OF
either OF the two great political sor-
ganizations, having given some of
3 tense to powerful members of both,
either by his conduct Of his service or
his public comments upon the meth
A dds Of political bosses. Rejecting the
offers OF the naanagers Of the Citizens
Union to indu,se him to run for mayor.
he made the slogan of his campaign In
dependence OF the rule of the political
boss. declaring this principle was 50
great as to completely overshadow
himself as candidate. His stirring
appeals for the voters to rise against
graft, in public office and his rope
tition of the question (referring to
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
MANY han) where did he get it?"
contributed powerfully to make the cry
OF honesty in politics clear issue o.
the campaign.
