part to. the fact that the bosses have
turned him down. Mr.. Jerome is thor
oughly impressed with the value of the
services he has rendered to New York
during his administration of the office Of
district attorney. and he bitterly resents
being sidetracked solely for political rea-
sons. Mr. Jerome could have been nomi-
mated the Tammany ticket If he had
guarded his language Mayor Mcclellan
wanted him, and the mayors closest ad-
viserS recommended him.
Criticised Murphy.
Mr. Jerome, however, saw fit to make
some remarks about Mr.. Murphy, the
leader of Tammany Hall.
He called him bartender. Mr.. Murphy
formerly owned some saloons, but he has
disposed of the business, and now moves
in clubdom upper 9Th avenue. He did
not relish these references to- his former
Mr.. Jerome could not be nominated by
Taminany and then turn around and abuse
Tammany on the stump.
Mr.. WINS wanted Mr., Jerome nominated
on the republican ticket, but the district
leaders We're overwhelmingly against it, and
Mr.. WINS had to assent Mr.. Jerome now
despises Mr. WINS as heartily as he does Mr..
Murphy He has indicated that he will not
fight Mr. Mcclellan, but will fight the sys-
tenn of politics of which Mr.. Mcclellan is the
beneficiary. 1t will be interesting to see
how the impulsive Mr.. Jerome differentiates.
Conservative politicians here say that moth
ing short of a miracle can secure Mr.. Je-
rome's election. He is running on a sepa-
rate ticket and is the sole candidate ON that
ticket.
When the voters get into the booths they
will have to mark the tickets of their re-
spective organizations, scratch them and
make another mark for Jerome Experience
has proven how difficult this is, and that the
result is generally the voting of straight
hv
voters. 1t is a remarkable fact that Mr..
Jerome's criticisms of the existing political
system and his denunciation of the two
great organizations, Tammany and the re-
publicans, open the way for hearts.
Burden of Hearst's Cry.
That is the burden of Mr.. Hearst's cry
also. He is in perfect accord with Mr.. Je-
rome upon this subject. Logically 1t would
seem that Mr.. Hearst would be Mr.. Je-
romes candidate for mayor. The politicians
cannot understand why Hearst should have
made the mistake of not putting Jerome on
his ticket. The two have certainly joined
hands in an onslaught upon the existing
system. Tonight Mr.. Hearst invades Brook
lyn.
With automobiles and red fire and brass
bands he will fash upon the voters at half
a dozen rallies and his clubs will parade the
streets.
Mr.. Hearst is pursuing another and very
effective method of campaign. He has hum
dreds of men scattered around the indus
trial sections of the city, plainly dressed,
n-spoken men, who go among the work
ingmen at the noon hour and talk to them of
their alleged wrongs under the system and
preaching the Hearst brand of socialism.
He has other workers in his cause who
visit the laboring classes in their assembly
places in the evening, not speechmaking,
but talking colloqually and heart-to-heart,
and always upon the same theme-Hearst.
One of Hearst's Supporters.
One of the strong supporters of Mr..
Hearst is j. G. Phelps Stokes, the young
millionaire who married Rose Pastor the
East Side girl who is laboring in the mis-
sionary field
Young Stokes is Hearst's ticket for
president of the board Of aldermen He
and his wife are living in S3S fiat down
on the East Side and devoting all their at
tentions to the amenoration of the condi-
tions of the poor Young Stokes is exceed
ingly popular and is considered an effective
agent in the Hearst campaign.
Mr. Hearst has found some KiShineff sur
vivors and is trying to get them on his
band wagon with a rallying cry of Re
member Kishineffn' He is appealing to the
Iatin-Ame rlcan vote on the score of his al
legged services in the freeing of Cuba He
is after the Italian vote with a large corps
of Italian speakers, and, in fact, Is op-
