JEROME'S VOTE FOR MAYOR.
District Attorney Urged to Oppose Consist
emily the Entire Tammany Ticket.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As Republican who for forty-nine years
has been reader of The Tribune and who, though
not always IN harmony with Mr.. Jerome. would
under present conditions take any reasonable
amount Of trouble bring about his election In the
pending campaign, beg leave to PROFOUND to MIN a
few inquiries pertaining to the question that mas
been nut TO hira In respect of how he intends to
cast his vote for Mayor.
First-Is not Mr.. Jerome convinced that he has
a large and influential personal following IN this
campaign?
Second-Is he not convinced that his personal ap-
peal to such following to work earnestly for the
election of Mr.. WINS for Mayor, and statement
Of intention his part to vote for the latter gen
tleman, would influence many Democrats and inde-
pendents to cast their votes and to work for his
election?
Thirds not the present Tammany ticket. in Its
entirety. a boss made Murphy made ticket?
Fourth-Is not the presence of Mr. Mcclellan 8
name upon that ticket much the result Of boss
rule is the absence of Mr.. Jerome's name there
FTfth-wouId not Mr.. Jerome stand better with
the great body OF voters who admire consistency
political attitude that might imply something more
than mere desire to pen seng 5hs of his
own election alone protest against boss rue ne
sR9He sp9inst tbe desi whole hole boss made ticket?
Sixth-Would not the smashing OF the whole boss
boss and of more advantage to the public than
would be accompanied by the election OF MI
seventh-If Mr.. Jerome should be elected and IT,
through his failure to oppose Mr.. Murphys ticket
except in respect of his CMr. Jerome's) own per
sonai candidacy, the entire balance OF Mr.. MuI-
Dhys ticket should succeed would he be better ao!s
TO cooperate with the boss made ofcials or would
fhe oubic be better served than would be the case
were the boss made ticket wholly defeated and the
WINS campaign sustained? ,..,.,
AS an admirer of both personal and political
bravery l trust that Mr.. Jerome may demonstrate
his possession of the highest kind of each variety

The most realistic scene of modern days was
staged in Paris. The writer had the story Of II
from Herr Seeth, the principal player In It. SIX
of his lions turned into the arena, with thlr-
teen to which he was stranger; Lay figures
about which horsefesh was concealed, were thrown
in and these the lions rent, as the forebears rent
the early Christians in the arenas of Rome. AT
the psychological moment Seeth entered to inter-

Use OF THE TERM GRAFT"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II you will give a few lines 10 the term
graft" its present slang use. and when and how
Il came so to be used you will do favor TO many
Others besides. yours truly, b l. r.
Mount Vernon, n. Y. Nov. l. 1905.
The latest Photographed authority. the Sup
pIenent to the Standard Dictionary of the Eng
ush Language" defines graft as follows:
(SlaneD l. Manual labor; toll; work: hence
regular employment: a trade or calling. 2. (U.
81 An irregular or unlawful means Of support;
a steal or swinde. 3. That which has been OBJ
tained by grating; stolen goods
The word "grafter' is thus defined:
(sIang1 One who CRAFTS: q swnder or dis
honest person.
II would thus seem that when George Wash
ineton Piunkitt coined the phrase honest
graft he sought to unite two dissmilar terms
which could no more unite than oil and water
