Il wish publicly to thank Judge

sHEEHAN FOR CORPORATIONS.
civilian +. Sheehan is the at
torney for the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and other public service cor
ations who buy politicians in order to
be able to steal franchises, who de-
bauch the representatives of the peo-
pie in order to be able to exploit the
property Of the people.
William I. Sheehan was driven
out Of Buffalo because some of his
corrupt political practices had
been exposed.
'He is able to live in New York
only because the rest of his corrupt
political practices have not been ex-
posed.
4 wish to publicly thank VIM.
F. Sheehan for his opposition to me.
Paul D. Cravath is the corpor-
alton attorney for Thomas Fortune
Ryan, the speculative financier who
put through the criminal merger OF
the New York Transportation COM
panies with the assistance of At
torney General Mayer, and secured
control of the Equitable life Assur-
ance Society, with the assistance Of
the investigation conducted by Chas.
E. Hughes.
"Paul D. Cravath, the general
utility man for Thomas Fortune
Ryan, puts on the black mask, hoists
the black flag and boldly enters the
domain of law or politics at the de-
mand Of that political pirate and f.
nancial freebooter.
"Paul d. Cravath is the gentle
man who represented Mr.. Ryan and
stood sponsor for Jerome in the last
New York City campaign. He is a
former law partner Of Chas. D.
Hughes.
81 wish publicly to thank Mr.
Paul D. Cravath for his opposition
to me.
SHEPARD FOR THE RAILROADS.
Edward NJ. Shepard is the Attor
ney for the Pennsylvania Railroae
and otller gigantic corporations
which consider the purchase Of pu:
litical machines and public officials
a legitimate part of their operating
expenses.
"Mr. Shepard said at Buffalo that
he thought the Democratic party
might survive the nomination O
Hearst.
81 nave had the pleasure Of tell
ing Mr.. Sheppard that if the Demo.
cratic party does survive this cam.
paign it will be the first Guber.
material campaign that it has sur.
vived for twelve years, and that its
survival will be due not so much tc
the nomination of Hearst as to the
reputation of Shepard and the cor.
rupt corporations which he repre-
sents.
81 wish publicly to thank Mr.
Shepard for his opposition to me.
JERoME's PROMISES BOGUS.
District Attorney Jerome has al.
ways been corporation lackey, but
such an insignificant brass-buttoned
bellboy Of the trusts that few realized
his position until he became promi
nent in politics.
Since then his servile devotion te
the interests of his corporation
masters has been as complete as it is
contemplate.
"He has kept no single public
promise that he made to secure the
peoples votes, and has broken nc
private pledge that he made to Sc
cure corporation campaign funds.
He is a notorious example Of the
confidence man in public life, of the
petty larcenist in politics, who Sc
cures perferment he does not deserve
by promises he does not intend te
perform.
District Attorney Jerome de-
clares he will bolt his party ticket
and vote for Mr.. Hughes.
while condolingwith Mr.. Hughes
| wish publicly to thank Mr.. Jerome
for his opposition to me.
sHUNs CORPORATION SUPPORT.
II have always conscientiously op
posed these men and the interests
that they represent.
Il could not conscientiously accept
their support under any circum
stances whatsoever.
81 present all these corporation at
torneys along with the campaign
funds Of all their corporation masters
in one big bouquet to the corporation
ticket of corporation party.
81 am sometimes asked by vel
meaning people if l really intend te
carry out my promises. l do not
blame them for doubling, for they
have been deceived so often and SO
outrageously.
"But let me call their attention tc
this fact: Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Bel.
mont, Mr., Morgan and Mr.. Rookie
feller have no doubts on that oues
tion.
"They KNOW 1 am going te
carry out my promises and that is
the reason that every newspaper on
their payroll, every corporation law
yer in their employ or on their tick.
ct, every political henchman in theil
hire is opposing and attacking and
denouncing and defaming me.
II wish publicly to thank those
Captain Kidds of industry for theil
opposition to me and to state that
am deeply touched by their uncon-
scious tribute to my sincerity and
honesty, even though it comes from
Buccaneers who only know wha,
honestv is through having seen it in
