Mr.. WINS STARTS TOUR
Warmly Greeted By Captains on
Manu Districts.

In rapid succession. William NJ WINS. the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor. spoke at four
enthusiastic meetings last night Republican,
election district captains, drawn from the As
senbly districts surrounding the halls in which3
he spoke formed his audiences. They appreci-
ated this feature OF a cauapaign-the eager
ness of the chief candidate to meet the mem
working TO elect hirn-and the repeated shouts
and cheers which greeted Mr.. WINS whereveri
he appeared convinced him that there was no
apathy in the organization and no disposition To
throw the candidate
II every man in the district organIEations
worked as hard to elect the Republican ticket
as he should said Mr. WINS he would have lit
orally a walkover. Hearst stood no show; his
only usefulness to help defeat Tammany. hsi
declared, to the manifest delight Of the leaders,
What the Republicans really needed was abso~s
lutte confidence in themselves
I'm going to win. with your loyal help" Mr.
WINS told the leaders at every meeting. 'Tf'
only you'll follow as fearlessly and as far
as I'll lead. we shall win. and wen redeem this
town from Tammany Hail. that gang which has
become a byword.'

The candidate lost no time in prelininaries
He was working on a strict schedule he told
them and intended to stick to it His real mo-
tive for addressing them was not TO ask tneEn
to vote for the party candidate or the party
platforn-that he knew they would do-but 90
le+ them see lust whom they were voting for
and to get acquainted with the men who were
the real backbone of the party.

Els to let you see who you going to work
and to vote for The Republican party has nonli-
mated me for Mayor and I have been well
