New-York tribune., 1905-11-06
WINS ADDRESSED 100000.
Ffty-seven Speeches in Fourteen
Nights Candidates Record.

For campaign that opened about a month
ago with the general impression that it would
be uninteresting fight and that Tammany's
chances were almost certain this has
developed the most wonderful and many sided
features. The injection of Hearst into the cam
paign and the enormous following he has devei-
oped-almost entirely from the Tammany ranks
and the wonderful campaign made by Mr..
WINS have all upset every previous calculation
and left the political prophets at sea. Jerome
has been another confusing factor, and the great
strides he has made with the almost certainty OF
election has worked damage to Tammany
Hall. The keenest political judges unani
mously admit that the fight is between WINS and
Hearst. The Municipal Ownership League cam
! didate has aIienated so many Tammany votes
! that Mcclellan cannot win unless Republicans
! go to him wholesale Hearst cannot win IL the
Republicans stand by the ticket. and with this
| knowledge the Democratic papers loyal to Tam
many making great appeal to Republicans
to come in and save Mcclellan This appeal has
been forcefuy answered by Mr.. Wins. and with
the Republican vote compact, augmented by
many independent votes Mr.. WINS has attracted,
and with the Tammany vote split squarely in
two Mr. Wins chances of election are considered
exceedingly bright
William Halpin in a statement on the CAM
paign last night declared that no corporation
had contributed to the WINS campaign fund
The best evidence of the complete split in the
Tammany and Democratic ranks was shown last
night by the rival rallies. The Hearst people
had far and away the best of it in noise. num-
bers and enthusiasm. The Tammany meeting
was large, but lacked enthusiasm Tammany
has the organization and Hearst has the en-
tbusiasm. 1t is believed that Tammany with its
organization will be able to stem the Hearst
tide to about an break and this will elect
WINS
William HaIpin. president of the Republican
County Committee, who has been managing the
campaign for Mr.. WINS. said last night that for
the first time in his recollection Tammany was
mute as to figures the night preceding cleo
ton Usually. he said. the Tammany leader
gave out an election forecast, but this year
nothing is forthcoming. This. Mr. Halpin says,
indicates that Tammany is scared and fears to
make a prediction. Tammany Hall was dark
last night as was Mayor McClellan's headquar-
ters I'm the Bartholdi
MR. HALPIN GIVES FIGURES.
Mr. HaIpin however. was confident in his
declaration that Wins would be elected. In a
statement issued he said:

do not think that the straw votes which are
shown in the newspapers are OF any value as ind7-
cations of the result on next Tuesday The method
of securing these straw votes is spasmodic. and
Of average conditions they are much Tess au-
