tinued concern in It's behalf, and with which
l am certain you will be well satisfied.

tions OF organized labor, my administra-
tion has undertaken to fulfil the require
ments, constantly increasing, OF the Street
Cleaning Department. Two days ago I
signed the budget for next year. I have
seen to 1t that 1t shall provide for very
substantial increase in the appropriation
OF this department., and saw TO IL that
1t provided for substantial appropriation
for the cart drivers and street sweepers.
Tho work done by its sweepers and drivers
Is among the most important done for
the city. The faithfulness with which
the drivers have disoharg ed their duty
was deserving Of reward. and nearlv q
half million dollars has been appropriated
for the cart,ng account Of the five boroughs.
This will iIi5e the ray Of drivers to 5000
yea. or $50 more than they now receive.
"The sweepers Of the Street Cleaning
Department will also share in this increase
in wages as they will receive extra pay for
Sunday work at rate based on what they
receive during the other days Of the week.
In other words. the sweepers In the Street
Cleaning Department will under the new
budget receive the Sunday pay which they
sought to get under an act Of Legislature,
but which they now get from the city au-
thorities."
The Mayor got wonderful reception in
the house Of the Hudson River Athletic
Club, 24s West Thirty fourth street. There
was not an inch Of space to spare and 1t
took football formation Of policemen to
jam the Mayor down the aisle to the stage.
The boxing ring was filed with screaming
McClellanites For ten minutes the Mayor
was cheered, songs were sung and the band
played The Mayor said:
Il believe that no man should cast a vote
unless his conscience tells him to cast 1t.
believe that norman should vote for cause
unless he honestly believes that cause to be
the right; and so II you men Of New York
honestly and conscientiously believe that
the interests Of this city which you and Ilove
can be better or more faithfully served or
more honestly served by any man than !.
then shall be the last to ask you to violate
the dictates Of your conscience to vote for
me. lCheers.l
But II on the her hand you sincerely
think | have tried as an honest man to
do an honest mans plain duty, II you be-
lieve that l have tried to give New York
good government, and II you believe that
nv return to power will serve the best
interests of this city, then I ask OF you to
do your duty as men and to vote the ticket
OF which have the honor to be the head.
I have been charged with showing
symptoms of fear OF the outcome in this
campaign. have appealed to the citizens
of New York, regardless OF party Ever
since have had the honor to be the Mayor
of New York l have appealed to the citi-
zens OF New York regardless Of party;
and II I have been able to accomplish any
thing u has been because the citizens OF
New York regardless Of party, have sus-
tanned me. So appeal to you men Of New
York, regardless of whether you be Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, regardless OF how
you may have voted in the past to remem-
Der that the fair fame and the honor OF New
York Ia at stake and on election day to

On his way to Lion Palace, Broadway
and 10th street, the Mayor stopped at
Tuxedo Hall, Madison avenue and Fifty
ninth street, and spoke briefly to large
gathering of members Of the Builders
Mutual Protective Association.
The crowd at Lion Palace was greater
than the hall could hold. AS the Mayor
went on the stage the Columbia University
that were heard even above the deafening
cheers of the other loyal people.
This campaign" said the Mayor, rises
in Importance above the ordinary municipal
campaign. The question to be decided at
the polls is whether the honor, the integrity
and the fair fame of New York shall remain.
Col. Mcclellan delivered an address in
Italian to great body Of Italian voters In
hall on First avenue near 112th street. They
we're so glad to see the Mayor that he had
TO quiet them with gestures before he could
begin his speech. He was In hurry and
every minute Of applause was eating in on
his schedule.
aCheese it, Hearst, here comes MoClel-
Ian a." was the cry Of the boys when the
Mayor reached Suffers Harlem River
Park.
God hless you. George cried an old
MN on the stage. The Mayors speech
was a repetition of his confidence in the
voters belief that he had made New York
bitter than he found it and that in four
wears more he could IT axe it better still.
The last time Col. Mcclellan spoke in
Zeltner's Hall in The Bronx he was cheered
for five minutes. Last night it was thirteen
minutes of uproar that might have lasted
half an hour if the Mayor had not waved
for silence
az YOU believe that the city will be better
served by some man other than /, he said,
Il don't ask for your support; don't want
it."
There amt any other man, yelled the
crowd Then the Mayor told them to think
the ISSUES over and vote for the man they
thought best fitted to be Mayor.
In all the meetings the Mayor spoke to
about 5000 people.
